- Multi-Channel Attribution Modeling – the Tool To Get You Started
- by Jim Gianoglio. LunaMetrics, Posted on May 17, 2012. "Last Thursday, Robbin wrote a post on attribution modeling without Google Analytics Premium. In that post she shows how you can use Excel to generate a first touch, linear, and first/last touch attribution model for your conversions or ecommerce transactions. This is a topic that a lot of you are interested in, judging by the amount of traffic and shares that post got. So I decided build on Robbin's post by creating a template that you can all use for your own attribution modeling needs. The Attribution Modeling Tool is a Google Doc spreadsheet that has all the formulas you need built right in. It will do the following types of modeling: - First touch - Last touch - First and last touch - Linear..."

- This Is How You Easily Setup Actionable Google Analytics Dashboards
- Written by Ruth Burr. Search Engine People, May 2012. "Google Analytics is a fantastic analytics tool, and it's gotten pretty easy to get some really sophisticated data out of it. Working in SEO can mean looking at a bunch of different metrics and doing a lot of deep dives into some serious data, and that's all well and good. But if you don't have some quick ways to get some top-level ideas of how the site is doing, you'll lose sight of the big picture really fast – and that's when performance suffers. That's why we need dashboards. Even if you're not a Google Analytics pro, you can set up a dashboard that lets you check in on site health, so you can make sure you're on track for success. Here are some tips for setting up dashboards and configuring reports in Google Analytics..."

- Posted by Mike Pantoliano. Distilled, May 11, 2012. "On May 7th, Mozilla announced that Aurora (Firefox's public beta) is beginning to roll out their HTTPS-by-default Google search behavior. It won't be long before this is default in Firefox. As their announcement states, the user will be none the wiser (save for that tiny 's' after http, and the secure lock icon). Webmasters, on the hand – let's just say (not provided) is not making any friends..."

- Using Google Analytics Social Reports To Measure Your Website Content And Engagement in Google+
- Google Analytics Blog, Monday, April 23, 2012. The following is a guest post contributed by Daniel Waisberg, Owner of Conversion Journey, a Google Analytics Certified Partner, and Founder of Online Behavior, a Marketing Measurement and Optimization portal. "Google Analytics has recently launched a new set of reports called Social reports, which can be used to analyze on-site and off-site interactions with social networks in reference to your own website content. The reports’ ultimate goal is to enable brands to measure the return on investment for social media activities and make more accurate, data-driven decisions about social. The most significant change that it brings to the game is we are now able to better tie social activities (on and off-site) to online behavior and revenue. This is especially accentuated for the Social Data Hub Partners, a group of networks that use the platform provided by Google Analytics; for all these networks we can learn deep information about off-site behavior..."

- Tools to Help Organize Google Analytics Events
- By Justin Cutroni. Analytics Talk, March 18, 2012. "I love event tracking.

From video players, to mortgage calculators, to mobile apps, events are a way to collect and count visitor actions. While the data may seem simplistic, it’s valuable insight into visitor behavior. But event tracking can be hard to implement, especially if you don’t know how to code. Even if you do know how to code, managing a larget amount of events can be a challenge. I wanted to push out a couple of tools to make implementing and maintaining events easier..."

- By Justin Cutroni. Analytics Talk, March 21, 2012. "We all love social media. We all use it all the time. As analyst and marketers we’re trying to define the business value of social. But the measurement is challenging. We’re trying to change that with Google Analytics and have introduced a set of Social Media reports to help measure the value of social.
