2. What to Measure
• How people feel about your site
• How people get to your site
• What people do once they’re on your site
• How you shape up against competitors
3. Things to Keep in Mind
• Who’s looking at your analytics
• Nice to know vs. Action items
4. QuestionTime!
• If you were a baseball coach, who would you
pick for your team?
– The batter who hit 60 homeruns
– The batter who hit 40 homeruns
5. It Depends!
• You probably knew that was coming, but…
• Here’s why it’s important:
– If the 60 homer guy hits them all in total
blowouts, but the 40 homer guy always hits them
in the bottom of the 9th on a full count with two
men on… it becomes a different story, doesn’t it?
