- All About Google Tag Manager
- by Justin Cutroni. Analytics Talk, Posted: October 1, 2012. "Google Tag Manager, also known as GTM, is a free container tag system from Google.

- Don't Just Count the Likes
- by Liana Evans. ClickZ, September 27, 2012. "Marketing in social media can be a tough task for some marketing teams. Sure, there's the whole allure of "everyone is doing it," but at the end of the day all marketing efforts for any company must be held accountable. Don't fall for the whole "social media can't be measured" line of thinking either; it can be and you just need to know what your end goal is..."

- Benchmarking your web traffic
- Posted by claus-groot. Distilled, September 14, 2012. "Internet traffic is a funny thing, and sometimes things happen to your traffic you don't understand. Your industry's traffic may be growing, and almost certainly includes some seasonality. This post suggests a method to look past the traffic's trends, and instead tells you if you are beating the competition... In this post, I advocate benchmarking your traffic to the industry you are in. This allows you to look past the seasonality and overall growth / contraction of your industry encounters, and instead lets you focus on your market share of relevant internet traffic. The problem is to figure out how that traffic changes..."

- Web Analytics Maturity: 3 Signs on the Road to Success
- by Andrew Edwards. ClickZ, September 10, 2012. "The first sign that you're getting mature about analytics is that you have stopped calling it "web analytics." Actually that isn’t going to be one of the three signs. I call it web analytics because that’s what most folks recognize. Talk about Digital Analytics or Marketing Analytics or a new breed of data crunch-and-display tools that service a new market I have called "Convergence Analytics," and you may get more than a few blank stares..."

- by Phil Anderson. LunaMetrics, Posted on August 30, 2012. "Google Analytics is a big tool, loaded with lots of features. It's possible, even for experienced users to not have discovered all of the nooks and crannies where features hide in Google Analytics. As someone who trains and consults in the tool, I've used everything at least once, but sometimes I forget these features are there as well. - Term Clouds - Motion Charts - Plot Rows - Compare Metrics - Pivot Table

- Customize Google Analytics with Shortcuts
- by Justin Cutroni. Analytics Talk, August 29, 2012. "Everyone who uses Google Analytics has different needs. If you're an executive you need different data than a marketer. If you work in an ecommerce business you want to view different data than someone in the publishing business. While you could alway do some customization in Google Analytics you could never save a report with all of your changes, like a new sort order or different table visualization. That's where Google Analytics Shortcuts come in. Shortcuts are a way to save almost any customization to a report..."

- 4 Ideas for Better Social Media Measurement
- by Adam Singer. ClickZ, August 9, 2012. "Although the social space has rapidly matured over the last decade-plus, social media measurement remains a mystery for many. This mystery is due to two main factors. One is the fact that understanding off-site social activity, where marketers lack a data set as robust as they receive on their own website, is a challenge. The other is that despite social media itself not being new, it's still an emerging (and fragmented) marketing channel and frequently lacks clear objectives/conversion goals from brands..."

- Data Overload: Finding the Right Mix of Social Analytics Metrics
- by Andrea Fishman. ClickZ, August 8, 2012. "... The rapid growth in popularity of social media, from brand pages on Facebook to flash sales on Twitter to custom YouTube channels, has transformed social media from a personal engagement channel to a core element of most businesses' marketing strategies. Unfortunately, the amount of interactions and touch points is dizzying: too much data to sort through, too many sources of data to consolidate, too many vendors to manage, too many ways to interpret the data, and too many meaningless metrics..."

- Rethinking Blog Metrics
- By Justin Cutroni. Analytics Talk, July 27, 2012. "A few months ago I started an experiment. I added some code to my site to better track how visitors interacted with my content. The new code tracks various user activities, like scrolling and reaching certain locations in the page. Not only did the code collect more data about user behavior it also changed many established metrics, like time on site & page and bounce rate. The result is an entirely different view of a user visit and new benchmark metrics for blog performance. At least that's my opinion. I’d like to hear yours :)..."

- Understanding And Using Page Value
- Posted by Google Analytics Advocate Justin Cutroni. Google Analytics Blog, Tuesday, July 24, 2012. "When Google launched Google Analytics many moons ago (2005 to be exact) there was a metric named $Index. It wasn't your standard analytics metric, like pageviews or visits. It was a calculated metric to help businesses understand value of content. Unfortunately $Index was removed from Google Analytics version 5 due to some technical limitations. But now it's back as a new metric named Page Value!... Page Value is calculated using the value of your transactions and your goals..."
