It’s been said that people would rather pull off a finger nail than learn how to leverage their website data. I’ve thought about that a lot lately, and think I have the answer: A good manicure. French, maybe. But really, this is all soo sad because the reality is that. . . . Web Analytics [...]

New Web Analytics Blogs To Watch
April 7th, 2008 1 Comment
Two new blogs today… eMetrics from Jim Sterne, who probably needs no introduction, and metricbox from William Garrison, a Senior Professional Services Engineer (I assume from WebTrends) Welcome to the discussion, Jim and William! (As always, when I find new blogs that seem to touch on web analytics, I tag them with the wablogger keyword [...]

Congrats to WebTrends who announced their new CEO today. Dan Stickel is no stranger to the Internet, having done executive stints at Google and AltaVista. The press release quotes Dan: “The web analytics market is forecast for nearly 20% growth in 2008, and the growth in enterprise marketing software is even greater.” Looks like the [...]

Email alerts and a look ahead
April 6th, 2008 No Comments
Forgot to mention in the rush of Coremetrics funding last week, that WebTrends announced email alerts. Gotta love the quote from Rand. The press release might have the coolest URL I’ve seen in a while. I’d like to see that in a web analytics report. Every week the sleepy world of web analytics has something [...]

Coremetrics gets another $60M
April 4th, 2008 No Comments
In case you missed it — Coremetrics announced today that they just landed another $60M in financing. (How things have changed: when Accrue did its IPO nine years ago, we raised something like $39M. It just goes to show that there’s a lot of money available outside the public markets.) Good for Coremetrics that their [...]

The more things change…
March 20th, 2008 No Comments
So I’m filling out the WAA Analytics survey, and get to the question where they want to know how many years of experience I have in the field. Shocked to write down “12″ — that’s crazy. How far have we come? I’m still listening to people talk about tracking users.

Tracking Web Analytics Blogs
September 5th, 2007 1 Comment
I’ve fallen off the blog trail again (when life gets too crazy, I stop posting *and* stop reading) so missed the little dust-up over who’s got the name-your-superlative web analytics blog. When I re-energized this site, I started putting a blogroll up, but quickly decided that was not scalable. Instead, I decided to use del.ico.us [...]

FeedBurner to Google
May 23rd, 2007 No Comments
Like many bloggers, I use FeedBurner to distribute my RSS feed. They provide well-formed feeds, predictable performance, and a small amount of reporting so I can see how many RSS readers I have and what articles they click on. You might recall that FeedBurner acquired BlogBeat some time back, but I don’t think they actually [...]
