The document analyzes web analytics data from Google Analytics for a university extension website. On February 28th, 2013 there was a significant increase in several metrics, including total visits and direct traffic. Various pages saw large increases compared to their averages. The data suggests an email blast on that date resulted in more visitors to the site and specific pages. However, some metrics like visit depth have unclear or mixed results, so the overall success is inconclusive.
