There are three things I wanted to share on my “About” page: A bit about me, a bit about who got me going, and a bit about its inspiration.
On 14 May 2006 when I started this blog the info on this page was simple: “Director of Research & Analytics at Intuit, Web Analytics Practitioner, Nice guy.”
Things have evolved a smidgen since then. Here’s the latest (Apr ‘08).
About Me:
I am. . . .
- The Author of Web Analytics: An Hour A Day
(A book that benefits The Smile Train and Doctors Without Borders, 100% of my proceeds are donated to them) - The Analytics Evangelist for Google
(Data driven decision making uncomplexified) - The Co-Founder and Chief Education Officer for Market Motive
(Online marketing education, on demand, high quality, fresh, every day!)
I am on the Board of Advisers for. . . .
- Coradiant (Web operations & end user experience management awesomeness)
- Commerce360 (Analytics & search marketing automation redefined)
- iPerceptions (Qualitative web insights & measurement turbocharged)
- University of California Irvine (Web Intelligence Certificate program, go education!)
I love teaching and speaking and changing mindsets. . . .
- Conferences: eMetrics, SES, Web 2.0, Ad-Tech, DMA events, BlogWorld, iCitizen etc (Current Speaking Engagements)
- Universities: Stanford University, University of Utah, University of Virginia, Santa Clara University etc (Oh, and I am so proud of this: Associate Instructor, University of British Columbia!)
- Companies: Dell, AOL, Sephora, Time Warner, AutoDesk, Vanguard, Google etc
I am on (if you are interested in my professional career). . . .
I am at. . . .
- blog at kaushik dot net (and still a nice guy :)
About the Blog’s Start:
I met Andy Beal at the Frost & Sullivan event where I spoke in early 2006. At that conference he played a key role in convincing me of the value of blogging and even offered to help me with anything I needed.
Andy gets all the credit in the world for getting me into blogging, for that I will remain eternally grateful to him.
About the Blog’s Spirit:
Guy Kawasaki’s early blog posts were very influential for me in terms of what this blog became. Specifically two things outlined in his blogging “principles” post:
- “Eat like a bird, and poop like an elephant.” – Japanese Quote.
This really connects with me. I have learned a lot from others and my hope with my blog is to share back with the world, to the extent that I can, in my core area of expertise. - Think “book” not “diary.”
I have come to believe that this is probably the best way to be successful in blogosphere.
[Interesting side note: While I followed this second principle from day one of this blog, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would ever actually become a book published by Wiley!]
I hope you find the blog to be of value, I welcome your feedback.

Say Goodbye to Expensive Analytics…

[...] Second, Avinash Kaushik has a fantastic blog post titled Data Quality Sucks, Let’?s Just Get Over It concerning the quality of analytics data and how to make informed decisions based on your comfort level with the data. He stresses that you will not get 100% accurate data but that doesn’t matter. You can still make informed decisions with the data that your analytics solution provides. It is a really great post and I highly recommend giving it a read. [...]

As a fellow reader of Blaire’s blog, I have read through yours a fair bit, and like it a lot. I’m wondering if you have read the very funny Richard Russo novel in which Occam’s Razor is a very recurrent theme.
I also agree that the proper visualization of data can tell so much more than charts or tables. I happen to feel the same way about editorial cartoons — they take issues relating to ideas, turn them into a quick visual (best when it is allegorical or metaphorical in some way), and add something witty and/or exaggerated to make the point more clear. Tom Toles is great at it.
At any rate, thanks for the excellent blog!

2. Filter the bounce rate by traffic source to find out the effective and poor traffic sources.
3. Check the bounce rate to track your SEO efforts.
4. Measure the bounce rate for paid search campaign efficiency.
5. Use the “bounce rate” statistics to optimize pages.

Thanks.

[...] Avinash goes into a long and informative response detailing why focusing on just conversion rate is a bad idea. For me, it boils down to ‘visitors at your site have all kinds of tasks in mind – other than buying – so optimizing for just one task neglects (or worse) the other visitors.’ However, it got me thinking … well that’s unfair … I had a little flash of an idea and here it is:[...]

[...] But Avinash Kaushik, author of “Web Analytics – An Hour a Day”, frequent speaker and analytics evangelist for Google, takes it one step further. In a recently posted article on his blog, Occam’s Razor, Kaushik proposes that brand-type keywords are best used for search engine optimization (SEO) while category keywords are the best place to focus your paid search dollars. Actually, I’m over-simplifying a little. Kaushik writes in detail (2200+ words) about the “head” and “long tail” of your keyword phrases. Since most of you don’t have time to read a 2200+ word document I’ll summarize it for you here. [...]

I’m being generous with the 50% cut off. Google analytics specialist Avinash Kaushik has said, “It is really hard to get a bounce rate under 20%, anything over 35% is cause for concern, 50% (above) is worrying.” Once you’ve got your bounce rate under control it doesn’t mean you can stop worrying about your website, but you’ll have some comfort in knowing that you’re not alienating everyone who comes to your site.

[...] Avinash Kaushik recently ran an informal contest to find out what report people would choose if they could only have one Web analytics report. The winner of “the best Web analytics report” was a report showing “sources by state, compared to last month.” Based on her business, a locally owned company that competes solely in her geographic service area, it is a great report. For other businesses, it may not make sense. This makes picking one “best” report difficult since it can vary depending on the business and the focus that the particular analyst has.
For example, one Web analyst may be focused on the external sources of traffic while another is focusing on how the site converts visitors. These two Web analysts would undoubtedly come up with different reports that they felt were the “best” analytics report. Since Avinash’s contest wasn’t specific to a particular industry or the type of analysis that a Web analyst was performing, it makes it very difficult to pick only one report…and would still be very difficult even if you had additional guidelines.

Now Google is not your average company of course. I don’t know many companies who test too much. The opposite is usually the case. Most companies’ creative decisions don’t live or die by the sword of data, they are based on often very subjective expert opinions or even worse, on what web analytics author Avinash Kaushik calls the Hippo – the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion … .
This means companies tend to leave millions of dollars on the table. They don’t test new ideas and fail to build up a body of knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. A testing management system will help these companies as well. It can identify knowledge gaps and areas where mandatory tests are required. And it can institutionalize testing by making it an integral part of the creative process.

We can ascertain this in many ways – user feedback, analytics, surveys, etc. Avinash Kaushik explains that you can go a long way with just three questions. Of course all of this is goals based and not only can it return some insightful data but it can be rather confusing.

I must say this is a great tool. I’ve now been using it for some months on astrolog.no. Thanks Avinash! And last week we implemented the same methodology at DnB NOR (but with an ordinary software soultion)

The Marketing Automation Future, Now
Don’t get me wrong — I am an advocate for marketing automation. But only if there is a core focus on the insight derived from data, not the automation, first. Analytics must be at the foundation and not an afterthought. You can identify first generation automation tools by their focus in on automation first and reports second. Today’s next-generation state-of-the-art tools have to have great metrics and analysis at their core and are focused on helping you optimize your business; that is, making you more money and proving their value to you.
Please feel free to tell me more about your marketing automation love fest or worries.
P.S. Full disclosure: like my good friend and analytics evangelist Avinash Kaushik, I work for and sit on several advisory boards of companies that use data as their foundation for marketing optimization and automation.
