Editor's Notes

  • #8 Lots of packages available. Here are some of the most popular.Examples in this section based on Google Analytics but the same features will be available in most packages.Logfile analysis allows interpretation of historical data but can be less accurate due to caching.Tagging relies on Javascript which isn’t supported by all browsers but allows for more detailed reporting from the users browser i.e. location, screen size etc.
  • #12 On a basic level analytics are used to answer 4 main questions about visitors (traffic) to a website, which are…
  • #19 High bounce rate shows an advertising campaign is providing poor quality trafficAlso used to measure landing page efficiency- if advertisers complain of high bounce rates first tell them to adjust their landing pages.
  • #20 Can be a good or bad stat depending on goal of siteOften a long time on site indicates an interested visitor and high chance of conversionCan also mean they’re getting lost and can’t convert- may need clearer calls to actionLonger time on site reduces chance of impulse purchase
