Trends and challenges in Web Analytics in 2010 | Blog | Econsultancy

Challenge 1. From reporting to actionable insights

Challenge 2. Selection of multiple web analytics systems

Challenge 3. Evaluating social media 

Challenge 4. Improving search engine marketing

Challenge 5. Attribution of sale to individual digital channel and multichannel attribution

Other challenges

So what wasn’t covered that we expected to be? Well there was surprisingly little discussion on AB and multivariate testing, probably because there was an adjacent table hosted by Craig Sullivan covering this, although it was mentioned by several participants as a worthwhile activity.

If you’re completing a vendor selection I have just been alerted by @JimSterne of this new specialist AB or MVT tool comparison site.

One of the areas of analytics that excites me most is tools that elicit feedback from customers. These systems close the loop from most web analytics systems which show what customers, but not why. For example on my site and at Econsultancy we use Kampyle to gain feedback and this gives great granular feedback, for example, feedback on individual reports or problems with the site and this is integrated with Google Analytics. I notice that Kampyle now has a two-way integration with Omniture which enables marketers to be automatically alerted about on-site issues affecting customer service and conversion.

I'm also seeing more companies replicating the idea from Dell Ideastorm by creating open or closed customer communities where they give feedback which feeds through into new product ideas. Ideascale offers an increasingly popular solution for this.

If you’ve found some effective solutions to some of these challenges or have other challenges to discuss, do let us know.

Hello Grooveshark, Farewell last.fm

Reasons:

  1. It's free.
  2. I can pause and resume songs.
  3. I can listen to whatever I want, instead of settling for songs that sound similar.
  4. I can create my own playlists and order songs the way I want.

cankoklu@grooveshark

I will still keep scrobbling to my last.fm account but I've been listening to locally stored music less and less these days.

Btw, Grooveshark does have some ways to go in terms of integrating itself to social networks.. Right now you have to share something manually and on a per network basis.. They will probably fix that soon (I hope).

How to Build a Facebook Landing Page for Your Business : Technology :: American Express OPEN Forum

Feb 17, 2010 -

Facebook is known for its uniformity.  You can post all sorts of content, but the actual design and layout of your profile is the same as everyone else's.

But with Facebook Fan Pages and the array of apps you can plug into them, there are a few ways you can customize what people see when they land on your Page.

You've probably seen custom Fan Pages like those of Techipedia article on the subject.

A Small Slice of Happy...

I've been taking cold showers for the past couple of months because my water heater wasn't working properly.  This morning I got fed up and decided to open it. It turns out that the thermocouple was too close to the heating pipes... Pushed it away slightly with a screwdriver.. et voila! Hot water!  The whole thing took less than 1 minute and left me with mixed feelings.. I was mad at myself for having delayed the fix for so long.. but happy that I can finally take hot showers again..

So there it is.. a small slice of happy for me.

Is Reading Blog Posts Worth Your Time? | Copyblogger

image of head with spinning gears

If you’re a regular Copyblogger reader, you get good advice about five times a week. Excellent advice, really. Stellar.

Especially on days when I’m posting. (Preens.)

Wait, what was I saying again?

Oh, right. You get really good advice, for free, five times a week. Very frequently, this advice would cost you upwards of $150 an hour for a consultant to tell you the same thing.

So when was the last time you actually put any of that advice into action?

Where’s your follow-through?

Great article.. It basically says that you should bookmark or summarize what you might learn from blogs and systematically practice what you have learned.. great advice..

Visualize Dissent: Turkish Users Protest Censorship Using Google Maps

Internet users in Turkey have found an interesting visualization to highlight their numbers, connect with one another, air their grievances and hopefully reach their goals using Google Maps and shared documents.

A reader wrote to us tonight saying that his fellow citizens have been "struggling with cencorship for several years just like their Chinese counterparts. Prominent websites are banned in Turkey, such as youtube, lasf.fm and google pages mostly because of political reasons." In protest, many of them are virtually lining the streets using a shared interface, creating what is becoming a fascinating, non-violent and hopefully effective visualization.

Sesimizi böyle duyuracağız demek..
