Absolutely mind blowing guide. We will be looking for Avinash’s next addition of his book with “Getting Started Guides” included in the them.

That will be great to study for new beginners of Web Analytics.
Thanks,
Bhagawat.

i bought the book, i’m loving it.
my site isn’t media per-say, it’s def more “get leads” but the content has to be crisp in order to maintain the attention and get conversions.

I’ll have to pay attention to the time per visit especially on our ideas/gallery page.

great post Rich!

Comment on The 7 Habits of Successful Web Analysts by Webanalisten.nl / Ton

Thanx for your post. I made a Dutch translation on http://www.webanalisten.nl/beheer/organisatie/de-7-gewoonten-van-succesvolle-webanalisten.html

But added a different number seven (yes humor is important, but). Imho a good webanalyst knows whats happening with the competition. He is an awesome benchmarker and always is matching with the competition on amount of traffic on campaigns, conversion rates but also features and usability. The more you know from you competitors, the better your (benchmarked) advice will be.

Ofcourse you can also see this as point number 9, because maybe social webanalytics is number 10. A good webanalist knows about the buzz online around his website / brand / products / services and scans through this information to get more insights on customer wishes. KPI’s that will tell you about website (or total company) success do need to be (partly) build on if your word-of-mouth is positive or negative (which will influence your traffic numbers and conversion rates).

Hey Rich,

Thanks for interviewing me. The questions were great. Now, I just have to live up to the honor (I’m just a guy with some opinions and a blog).

Nice interview. I agree that the form abandonment is really one of the most important metrics to watch.
