Hurray!!<\/p>\n<p>Even with a broken right hand I can&#8217;t help but write this post!<\/p>\n<p>The waterfall of positive feeling stems from the fact that this book was very hard to write.<\/p>\n<p>I only had one job, at Intuit, when I wrote my first <a href=https:\/\/www.webanalyticshour.com\">web analytics book<\/a>. I now have several full time jobs, plus this blog, plus speaking around the world, plus a family, plus&#8230; so much more.<\/p>\n<p>It took weekends of writing and nights of editing and days of research combined with practicing the preaching by doing oodles of analysis and, more importantly, the support of the most understanding wife in the world.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of it all it is rather gratifying to see one&#8217;s book at a bookstore, helps grasp the magnitude of the process. And there&#8217;s absolutely nothing quite like hearing your five year old yell in a busy Borders bookstore: &#8220;I FOUND DADDY&#8217;S BOOK!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This blog post is in three parts: <strong>The pitch<\/strong>. <strong>Request for help<\/strong>. <strong>A lovely contest<\/strong> [Contest closed now, thanks for the entries!].<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to read the whole thing &#038; skip ahead, but that would hurt my feelings. :)<\/p>\n<p>Here we go. . .<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"blue\">The Pitch:<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I invite you to consider buying my . It is not only the most current book on everything important and bleeding edge in Web Analytics, it is a labor of love that will help you transform your personal thinking and assist in revolutionizing your organization (big or small).<\/p>\n<p>It is not a technical book, though it will make you technically dangerous. It is not just a business book, though every dna strand in this book is more about online marketing than online analytics. It is not a hard book to read, though it is brain food.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why I think you&#8217;ll love it:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 1 The Bold New World of Web Analytics 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No dragging of the feet, the book starts with a bang by laying out the framework that will be the center of every company that will leverage data (qualitative, quantitative, competitive) on the web. It ends with a challenge to embrace Multiplicity &#8211; without this it&#8217;s goodbye greatness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 2 The Optimal Strategy for Choosing Your Web Analytics Soul Mate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It will be hard for you to find a more compelling four step process to choose the right web analytics tool for your company. Soul searching, questions to torture vendors with, comparing vendors, running a pilot and negotiating a contract, it&#8217;s all in there. You be off to the races right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 3 The Awesome World of Clickstream Analysis: Metrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The thing I enjoyed about this chapter (I know I wrote it, but still. . .) was that the first half works really hard to evolve your critical thinking skills. I love that because we take too much for granted, now you&#8217;ll be skeptical. A good thing. The second half shows exactly how to pick the best metrics for your org and, my absolute favorite (Page 64), how to diagnose the root cause of a metrics performance.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" hspace=\"6\" alt=\"web analytics 2\" src=https:\/\/www.kaushik.net\/avinash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/web_analytics_2.0_cover1.png\" width=\"495\" height=\"215\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 4 The Awesome World of Clickstream Analysis: Practical Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When people think of web analytics everything they think about is chapter 4, and yet you&#8217;ll find so many yummy treats here. The best WA report, segmentation, site search, SEO &amp; PPC analysis, email, rich media, cookies, data sampling. . . . I am out of breath!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 5 The Key to Glory: Measuring Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If I have one jihad it is to massively convert every person who touches the web to focus on measuring Outcomes! It is the one reason we can&#8217;t achieve the greatness we so richly deserve. No more! Glory will be yours!! B2B. B2C. Small Biz. Large Biz. Non-Ecommerce. We make love to &#8217;em all! One thing you&#8217;ll read here that you&#8217;ll read no where else? Computing Economic Value, a concept that will liberate you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 6 Solving the \u201cWhy\u201d Puzzle: Leveraging Qualitative Data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, oh, oh qualitative analysis!! I am a Mechanical Engineer with a MBA, a late covert to the power of understanding the super sexy &#8220;why&#8221; by leveraging lab usability studies, surveys, card sorts, online remote testing and more. You get a jump start. The thing you&#8217;ll adore: Pages 190 &#8211; 192.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 7 Failing Faster: Unleashing the Power of Testing and Experimentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure you&#8217;ve heard of A\/B and multivariate testing. But do you know how to truly win the game? There is no technical mumbo-jumbo here, just the real deal and how to get testing right. The thing you might not know \/ realize the power of: Controlled Experiments. I am convinced this is God&#8217;s gift to online humanity, you&#8217;ll agree with me by the time you reach Page 208.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img hspace=\"6\" alt=\"web analytics 2\" src=https:\/\/www.kaushik.net\/avinash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/web_analytics_2.0_cover4.png\" width=\"495\" height=\"276\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 8 Competitive Intelligence Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most magnificent advantage the web possesses: everyone&#8217;s data is available for everyone else to use. If Hilton Hotels has the data for Choice Hotels why not use it to &#8220;crush&#8221; them (sorry Sarah!). This chapter shows you how. I think the thing you&#8217;ll be surprised by is at the start of the chapter (Data Sources, Types and Secrets).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 9 Emerging Analytics: Social, Mobile, and Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chapter I had the second most fun writing. Mobile, twitter, blogs, videos etc are just so darned hard to measure and so much changes every few hours that I had to really really work hard to find the essence of each and then make specific practical measurement recommendations that will stand the test of time. It was hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 10 Optimal Solutions for Hidden Web Analytics Traps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a collection of major reasons I think people fail at web analytics, and of course I boldly try to share how to avoid that fate. Behavior targeting, dashboards, accuracy, data mining, predictive analytics, and, the thing you&#8217;ll appreciate the most IMHO, five steps for intelligent analytics evolution!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 11 Guiding Principles for Becoming an Analysis Ninja<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All my life learnings laid bare. . . this is where you, yes you, start to evolve from a Reporting Squirrel to an Analysis Ninja! No metrics, data pukes, guidance on creating every more reports. No, none of that. Rather&#8230; analytical techniques, tips and tricks to apply to your job, how to evolve your thinking to a higher level.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" hspace=\"6\" alt=\"web analytics 2\" src=https:\/\/www.kaushik.net\/avinash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/web_analytics_2.0_cover3.png\" width=\"495\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 12 Advanced Principles for Becoming an Analysis Ninja<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chapter I had most fun writing (and rewrote the most number of times). It deals with two of the hardest practical challenges we face in the field of measurement: multi-touch campaign attribution analysis and multi channel analytics. Both are very hard to get right, both have a ton of fud out there, it was fun to share my recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 13 The Web Analytics Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chapter I should have had in the first book. How to plan a career in web analytics (paths, salary, longevity), and how to then cultivate the right set of skills. If you are a leader then how to spot great talent, how to interview them and make the right choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter 14 HiPPOs, Ninjas, and the Masses: Creating a Data-Driven Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some might argue, rightly so, that the most elusive thing to accomplish is to truly bring data democracy to your organization. This chapter bravely hopes to help you do exactly that: excite people about data, remove organizational barriers, use data to change behavior, dealing with data quality, and creating data driven HiPPO&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Convinced?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing, absolutely nothing, in life is easy. But if you have the will and access to knowledge then that just might help you choose an optimal path, a path where your hard work will yield above normal results. That&#8217;s my hope, and promise, with .<\/p>\n<p>Jennie and I have decided to donate 100% of our proceeds from this book, just like for the first one, to two charities.
