Web analytic is kind of an art rather than science….
It might not answer everything but it works goods for most of it….

Hi! I have seen many such websites that provide competitive analysis for free. My personal favourite is www.estimix.com . It seems to generate very accurate traffic information, too.

I would say analytics emphatically help us keep track of trends, etc.

I cannot see how you could get a campaign to be successful without web analytics. Its that important.

Thanks, Bryan! That was a fast response, and exactly what I was looking for. I guess I better go buy the only book of yours that I don’t have now

Really helpful to see this. It’s more or less what I thought the answer would be, but it’s really hard to feel confident without outside confirmation.

Here are two posts that deal with testing on low traffic sites: http://www.grokdotcom.com/2008/03/24/optimize-low-traffic-website/

We use Google Analytics, but not very well. We don’t experiment because our sample sizes are too small. This is major problem for smaller outfits, in my problem, since most resources are geared towards sites with tens of thousands of visitors a day, including Call to Action and Always Be Testing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I agree with James. Testing is very important, sometimes a bit hard because you know there’s work waiting for you.

You gotta do what you gotta do!

I think I probably spend too much time self diagnosing and jumping to conclusions without testing the outcomes properly.

I often use this analogy too, Bryan. Analytics represents some of the tools to identify symptoms and problems and conversion optimization testing as the medicine (or at least, a double-blind study to find the cure).

Look forward to seeing the results of your survey.

Problems are easily fixed through testing based upon the analytics. Though sometimes you need to ‘reach’ to test even the remotest of possabilities.
