4. Dumb Executives & Missed Opportunities Web Analytics reminds me of a typewriter. Long ago execs said they did need to type.  Now it’s part of the job, 24 by 7. Lots of Execs I’ve met don’t care about data… They do this at their own peril. My estimate of web analytics used: 95% installed. I would say 3% use web analytics, at least effectively. Richard J. Lynch III& The Phone Company Data Is Everything!

9. Web Data Collection Log Collection (log file) Pre 1999. Page Collection (Google Analytics) Cookie Based Data Sampling Sites Compete.com, Quantcast.com, Alexa.com. Anonymous/Meta Collection Profiling Segmenting Personalities (Huh?)

Accuracy These Are The Issues People Turn Cookies Off Third Party/First Party Cookie Issues People Turn Javascript Off Broken Javascript Some Mobile Phones Not Supporting Javascript Anonymizers Anonymous Surfing (The Big One!) Data Is Not What They Used To Be Cellphones And Ipads Allowing Too Many Includes . So a 10% Error Rate Is Excellent. But Is Accuracy beyond that Important… For Most of Us No, it really is not import. Web analytics is about trends not anal retentivity. Don’t Seat the small stuff, Really!

15. The Future Of Analytics I Always Speculate… Things I Think Will Be Offered In Future More Behavioral Analytics And Segmentation Telling Google a person is tall, blonde and single. Interactive Analytics Instantly usable data for Google customers Advanced Graphics I can see better, interactive graphics. Overall I think Google has hit 90% of what is needed and probably will not increase features too much…
