35 Web Analytics & Internet Marketing Experts You Should Be Following (on Twitter)
Jun 9th, 2008 by Rich Page
Welcome, I see you're new here! Before you go, don't forget to download my new free website improvement ebook - its got some great feedback and will help you improve your website for free!
A great way to gain more understanding about web analytics and internet marketing is to learn from the experts and hear what they are saying. Obvously you can read their blogs, but another great way to gain insight into their minds is by following them on Twitter. And for those of you that have been living in a cave, Twitter is like a ‘mini-blog’ tool, that allows you to read and write many simple one line posts. This allows for a different style of communication (others often reveal great links they find), and even allows for asking questions to others. Which is great if you don’t know who to turn to for help! So, I have created a list of the 35 web analytics and internet marketing experts you should be following on twitter…

Just go ahead, create a profile on Twitter (if you haven’t already done so), and click ‘follow’ on any of the people in this list. And feel free to ask them questions - including me! Its pretty addictive when you start twittering…
Thanks! I’m honored. I hope I can provide some insight to some new followers.
And, I’ve got some new tweeters to follow (including you) — thanks for the list.
Hey Rich,
Thanks for adding me. I kept getting all of these followers and I was wondering where they came from

Thanks mate! You’re not so bad yourself!
When you going to drop some analytic knowledge bombs my way??

Hey Rich, thank you for including my name on this list. What an honor, as I Love reading your blog!
On a side note, you need to come work with us! We are still looking for kick ass web analytics that can also mesh with our culture. Get out of smoggy Hell-A and come down to Sunny San Diego!
Hello Rich.
While I may agree about reading other “great minds” stuff, don’t you think that it’s time to get creative with our own stuff.
You know the web is getting full of other peoples work. Copied, revered as gurus, mentors and whatever but with no originality.
It’s time to stop pissing in each others pockets and get the creative brains working.
When you follow others work you are always behind. Originality wins everytime.
But I’ll keep my eyes open for your stuff. Cheers. The Baldchemist
Hi Rich,
Thanks for the add, If anyone has any questions about web analytics please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email. I’m always willing to help.
Thanks Rich for this extensive list something I have also been spending time compiling. I wanted to follow some of the best pioneers in Web Analytics and Internet Marketing. You made my job easier, its also surprising that I have been following 20/35 people you have presented here (including you). So I had to follow the rest 15!
Thanks again! And glad the commenters are here, welcome the conversation.
