Shufflepoint logoAs serious users of Google Analytics, we’re always looking for easy, great-looking ways to share the data gleaned therein with our clients. Since we provide various clients with daily, weekly and monthly reports, there is usually a whole lot of time spent copying and pasting data - and too little spent analyzing and understanding that data.

The IT guys are mumbling things you don't understand, the marketing folks are pushing hard for more sales, advertising budgets are falling under the knife, and your company's web site is under the gun to carry a bigger load

So the fingers start pointing and the ideas start flying: online promotions, graphic redesign, a "fresh look", new content, SEM, SEO, organic search, PPC, and other buzz words you've never even heard of.

What should you do to improve leads, sales, and your web site's performance?

...look out Google Analytics?

Not likely.

Sorry Yahoo!, but the track record hasn't been so hot lately. The cultural differences between Yahoo! and Google are painfully obvious and apparently unchangeable for poor Yahoo!. The big Panama PPC admin system relaunch hasn't panned out and made for a better management experience. Their copy of the Adsense program still isn't as good as the original. Ergo - I have to believe the product life cycle for Yahoo! Analytics will be similarly reactionary and half hearted.

Analytics, Yahoo!

Google has provided website owners its Google Analytics website traffic tracking and analysis tool for free for quite some time now. When we heard that they were about to put a new face on what was already an excellent analytics tool I must admit that some of our clients and I were quite skeptical about how such a great offering could be improved upon and remain free. Oh how our skepticism was unfounded!
