impact:• Network Referrals - What social network the visit came from. It's
important to understand how users from different sources engage/behave on your website.
• Conversions - You can set up conversion goals and measure the conversion and monetary value of social traffic.
• Landing Pages - In Google Analytics, these are the pages visitors land on when entering your website.
• Social Plugins - Shows data from social plugin buttons on your site (for example, Google "+1" buttons). These buttons allow your users to share content to social networks directly from your site. These reports will tell you what content is being shared, and on which networks.
