  (ammo) capable of bringing down the largest
  hippos and experts when opinion starts to creep
  in to a conversation.

 search bots/spiders

 general performance and platform information




                                       @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // ARE THERE ISSUES?
how is the performance of…

 keyword   phrases we are found for
 our audience message (demographics)

 social activity changes, message, growth

 our site (browsers, resolution, platforms)

 pages and specifically calls to action
  - does the copy, call to actions, or imagery need changed
 over all site issues (errors, bounce rate)




                                               @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // HOW GRANULAR ?




 trends, cause, effect, abnormalities…did it work?
                                        @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // THE DIFFERENT CHOICES

    server level statistics (by host; AW Stats, WebTrends, Urchin)
    CMS (specific to each content management system)
    third party (external to site services; Google Analytics,
     Chartbeat, Clicky, Woopra, crazyegg)




                                                      @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // PLENTY OF OTHERS
    aggregators (stats from multiple sources and services; postrank)
    niche’ (measure specific services, like social networks, or metrics;
     ClickTale, Facebook Insights, Buzz-Charts, Twitalyzer)




                                                            @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // NO GOOD IF NEVER SEEN



 The best analytics package won't help if never
  reviewed, deciphered, and acted upon. Set up
  automated reports or schedule reminders.




                                       @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // POSTRANK SITES + SOCIAL




 data from site/blog is matched with social channel
  engagement points (acquired by google)

                                         @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TRACK YOUR LINKS




 setup a bit.ly URL shortener account
 (i know of over 30 other url-shorteners, but bit.ly is trusted
    & widely used)
                                                   @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TRACK CONTENT SHARES




 are those sharing buttons working?

  what   caused the most shares
  did it bring any traffic back



                                      @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TRACK EMAIL CAMPAIGNS




 how is the quality of this email list?

  open      rates and click through




                                          @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // SO WHY GOOGLE ANALYTICS?

               in 2005 Google purchases Urchin
                  Urchin was a top player in analytics
                  simpler interface than most server analytics
                  ties in with AdWords for campaign tracking
                  it is free
                  Google is taking over the world




                                              @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // WHY WOULD CIRRUS ABS CARE?
 Cirrus ABS needed a vehicle for proving
 the value of our process and solutions and
 how they differed from others
 • online marketing on the rise, traditional marketing
   declining
 • importance of search engine optimization
   traffic/visibility
 • visitor centric sites with paths to conversion




                                                @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy

ANALYTICS // BOUNCE RATES DEFINED
 what is a bounce rate?
    landed on and left from a given page (any page) on your site
    allowed their session to timeout (GA’s session timeout is 30
     minutes)
      upon returning from eating lunch a new session would start and the
        previous one would be counted as a bounce
      a lost internet connection may count as a new session when restored
        in some situations
    back button used to leave the site
    typed a new address into the address bar to leave
    closed the browser window or tab
    no further, currently defined, action took place
        they might have called but unless you have a special phone
         number…




                                                           @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // WHY IS BOUNCE IMPORTANT?
 bounce as an indicator
    possible inadequate paths to action (next steps)
        if they make it to “contact us” do they end up on “thank you”
    shows lost conversions or missed client acquisitions
        does the landing page match the marketing offer
    spotlights visit quality and page relevancy to visitors
        wasted efforts attracting visitors for the wrong keyword phrases




                                                           @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // EXCEPTIONS TO BOUNCE RULE
 certain sites/visits are likely to have higher bounce
   rates
    blogs and news, where the visitor is looking at a specific article
    informational searches (as opposed to navigational or transactional)
        follow a search result for specific information
    sites with timely information on the homepage
        event calendars and clubs

 according to Avinash Kaushik, a respected GA’s expert, an
   average
 bounce rate is 40-60%. “It is really had to get a bounce rate under 20%,
   anything
 over 35% is cause for concern, 50% (above) is worrying.” Avinash Kaushik




                                                              @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TARGETED KEYWORD OR NOT?
 let's see a keyword example for a given metric
 1.   click “traffic sources" in the left nav
 2.   select “keywords"
 3.   select "non-paid”




 reasons for high keyword bounce rate
    incorrect keyword target for your site
    the landing page doesn’t fit the visitors needs
    unclear SEFurl's, meta descriptions, or page titles
    found exactly what they needed and required no further
     action
                                              @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // DEEPER KEYWORD RESEARCH
 where are people searching from
 1.    click a "keyword" link
 2.     select “dimension: source" to see traffic by search engines
           now we can investigate high bounces by term and search
            engine




                                                        @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy

                                                            @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy

                                                  @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TRACKING LOCATION AWARENESS
 awareness campaign by visitor type
        now let’s select “none: visitor type“ this shows us how
         many “new visitors“ our promo provided in this region
      each column gives us a little insight how the promo worked
      monitoring this through the duration of the campaign would show
       when you peak and start to hit diminishing returns
      this could be added to your dashboard, exported to a report, or
       emailed through the duration of the campaign




                                                       @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // TRACKING LOCATION AWARENESS
 awareness campaign by source
        go back to state level & select “none: source"
      (direct traffic vs SE traffic) was the promo effective for URL awareness
      if a large percentage come from search engines then they had to look for
       you
      if shown as "(direct)", meaning they typed the URL into the browser they
       remembered your domain name from the promo




                                                             @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy

                                                   @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // REFERRING THE BEST TRAFFIC
 which referring sites send you the best traffic
        review: visits, pages/visit, time on site, % new visits, and
         bounce rate
        change to “visitor type” to see new visitors to the site
        change to “region” to see where the visits come from
         (keeping in mind that ISP don’t always report correctly)
        note how the bounce rate climbs the farther away they are
         (if the site is location sensitive)
        If your paying for banner advertisement, or any other type of
         paid traffic...you’re looking for quality of conversion not simply
         traffic




                                                                    @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // WE NEED EVIDENCE



 More than a desire to be right, we want to do right.
  That requires evidence. We can change opinions
  if we have good data.




                                         @kmullett // #AnalyticsIndy
ANALYTICS // METRICS FOR SITE IMPROVEMENT
