Web Analytics Action Hero: Using Analysis to Gain Insight and Optimize Your Business
Companies need more than just web analysts and data-savvy marketers to be successfulâ€“they need action heroes!

While most of us never battle evil scientists or defuse nuclear warheads, successful web analysts benefit from the same attributes that fictional action heroes embody. As a web analyst, your main goal is to improve your organizationâ€™s online performance. You can become an â€œaction heroâ€ by translating analysis insights into action that generates significant returns for your company. How you approach analysis is critical to your overall success.

In this book, web analytics expert Brent Dykes addresses the unique challenges facing analysts and online marketers working within small and large companies, teaching you how to move beyond reporting and toward analysis to drive action and change. Taking a principle-based rather than a tool-specific approach, Brent introduces you to the Action Hero Framework that breaks down the analysis process into three key stages: Prioritize (what to analyze), Analyze (how to analyze), and Mobilize (how to drive action). And he reinforces these topics with real-world examples and practical tips from seasoned analysts at leading companies.
- Defines the type of environment in which action heroes thriveâ€“not just surviveâ€“as well as how to defeat the villains of web analytics that stand in the way
- Arms web professionals with a strategic framework for executing online analysis, as well as an arsenal of analysis techniques
- Reveals how companies need to be both data-driven and action-agile to drive business value from web analytics

"The ideas in this book will take you days (or even weeks) to work your way through, and they fly in the face of the emotional approach to marketing. The question is: would you rather have your competition lead the way with data and science when it comes to reaching your market, or are you going to go first? That's how it is with action heroes--no guts, no glory."
