Google Analytics - Just the Facts
Google Analytics - Just the Facts
Will widget X be popular on my already successful widget site if I decide to add it? This is a classic example of why Analytics helps clients to discover their bottom line. The more investment is put into Analytics management, the more it should pay off dividends of greater ROI and greater reach.
There is an saying in Japanese Zen: the way to control something is to watch it. That's what web analytics were created for. The numbers arriving on Google's keyword tool essentially allow us to control more thoroughly our own SEO and AdWords campaigns and know more about how does what and why.
My prediction for the next Analytics innovation is a more thorough tracking of keyword-initiated searches along the life of the visit, multi-vendor keyword campaign tracking, and of course, more funnel Goals, which are the only things keeping Google from being a viable all-purpose search marketing metrics tool. Until then, it's a great way for clients and search marketing professionals to meet on common ground and understand each other.
