Thoughts, musings, and, hopefully, not too many redundancies on the world of business data. If you missed the irony in the previous sentence, you may struggle with my writing style.
Last week was our monthly Web Analytics Wednesday in Columbus. Foresee Results sponsored the event and provided a highly engaging speaker: Kevin Ertell, Foresee’s VP of Retail Strategy and the blogger behind Retail: Shaken Not Stirred. We had a good crowd — just under 30 people — and we did our usual half-hour of networking [...]
I’ve officially dropped off the first page of results for a Google search for Monish Datta. Further proof that SEO is an on-going process! Monish made a crack last year that this blog was going to start dominating search results for his name. I took his wisecrack and ran with it! “Dominate” has never really [...]
Web Analytics Wednesdays are an opportunity for full-time web analysts, part-time web analysts, and anyone who is interested in learning more about web analytics to get together and share their experiences! We will informally network for a bit before sitting down and ordering food, at which point we will have a brief presentation/discussion about Bizwatch [...]
Last night was the monthly Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday at Barley’s Smokehouse and Brewpub, and we were fortunate to have Webtrends sponsor for the second time this year! This time, we managed to get it scheduled in a way that lined up with Noé Garcia‘s travel plans, so he wore the dual crown of “Traveled Farthest [...]
We had our monthly Web Analytics Wednesday meetup at Barley’s Smokehouse and Brewpub last week. Once again, the Web Analytics Wednesday Global Sponsors (Coremetrics, Web Analytics Demystified, and SiteSpect) sponsored the event, which is always appreciated! This month, in lieu of a formal topic, Dave Culbertson facilitated a round of speed networking — like speed [...]
It turns out, as I’ve been looking at my records (read: old blog posts), that this month’s Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday marked our one year anniversary, which means it was our 13th WAW. As we were discussing it last night, we thought next month was the one-year mark, but, in a post from last May, [...]
The first Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday of the year is coming! As always, the meetup is open to anyone and everyone who is interested in web analytics — we just ask that you register so we have a sense of what our headcount will be. We are heading back downtown this month, and back to [...]
Thus were the words that subtitled Bryan Cristina’s presentation (PPT) on campaign tracking at the December Web Analytics Wednesday in Columbus last Wednesday, sponsored by CoreMetrics, Web Analytics Demystified, and SiteSpect at BJ’s Restaurant in Powell. When it comes to screwing things up, we certainly had our opportunities: Originally, we had planned on meeting at O’Shaughnessy’s Pub down [...]
UPDATE: The venue for the event has changed. We got bumped from O’Shaugnessy’s by a private party and then realized that the Arena District would likely be overrun with people attending the Rockettes show that night. So, we’ve moved north to BJ’s Restaurant at 1414 Polaris Pkwy. For almost a year*, Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday [...]
Ahhh…the timeliness of blogging. Not! The latest Web Analytics Wednesday in Columbus was last Tuesday, and I’m just now getting around to posting a brief recap. I’ve been battling a cold all week, which has combined with the mental rigors of starting a new job, and that’s just left me flat-out pooped in the evenings. [...]
Three things I know: 1) My wife got the raw end of the deal when she married me, 2) I blog because it keeps my e-mails shorter, and 3) If you have the urge to talk about data usage in business, I'll do so until long after that desire has passed (for you).
