Hi Eugen,

I am glad that you started this thread.  I also have an interest in web analytics.  My questions will be forthcoming.

Cheers!

@kristi-hines that would be fabulous. 

I heard the question, but not all of it because I was busy registering . I managed to find the URL before getting the email.

@petertrapasso We look forward to get your questions.

Does anyone else feel like it’s a never ending sea of information?   

I must admit…I see the world in pictures and art forms.  I can’t quite get a picture of the whole circle of SEO.  I am working hard at it though!

Analytics…i think it might mean something different for everyone in each industry.  I have always approached everything I do with the end goal as the starting point and worked backed from there.    Does it matter and what is it to my bottom lime.  I like how Keri said it…is there a guide , but if your here, I don’t think you are a dummie @Keri 

@leilajones I am with you on this one. As a business owner you need to make sure that you cover everything and there is a lot to cover.

SEO, in a nutshell is simple: know your keywords, use them in your content, write valuable content and you will get good rankings and traffic. However, the process might get tedious sometimes.

On Analytics, kudos to you because you start with the end goal in mind. This is what I actually preach, before getting started with Analytics, make sure that you are clear about your business goals and objectives.

Only that way you will be able to translate those goals into Analytics tools and measure performance. It’s not about Page Views and Hits, it’s actually about measuring results.

@eugenoprea,

Thank you for your helpful notes and links.  I like the words you offered Leila as well.

I’ll check out your links, and look forward to learning more about you here.

Here’s to clear goals and objectives…

@connectyou  Would love to have virtual meet-up!   I have come to embrace that I approach things from a different door than most.  I used to get frustrated.  I hired a mentor a few years ago and he helped me embrace all the great things around the way I process what’s in from of me and had me let go of the things that seriously make my eyes glaze over!  I have become the best promoter of outsourcing!  Do what I do best and let go of the things I “could do” that kill my momentum.  Best financial and business decision that I made. 

@eugenoprea Thanks for sharing my posts on Analytics!  :)

@connectyou @leilajones I try to make my posts / guides as easy to follow as possible because, when I was learning how to do everything in Google Analytics, all I found were bits of pieces of information on how to do things here and there, very little visual reference, and some things explained in ways that made it sound more difficult than it really is.  I hope those posts help!

@connectyou @petertrapasso You are most welcome!

If there is anything else you need help with, please let me know.

@kristi-hines,

Thank you, Kristi, for your approach to writing articles on this topic.

I’ve since bumped into a few of your posts, and noticed your informative nature right off.

A blessing, as this is not my forte. 

What are you planning to write about in the near future?

Thanks again,

~Keri

@paulwilson to answer your second question, you can’t. At least for the moment.

But I am suspecting that Google will come up with a tool that will show more data and that is why they are doing this now.
