WHEN	I	STARTED	IN	WEB	ANALYTICS
• Webtrends	was	the	800	pound	gorilla	
• There	was	no	Google	Analy>cs	and	only	a	select	few	
had	used	or	heard	of	Urchin	
• Omniture	had	only	a	handful	of	customers	
(including	me!)	
• Mobile	phones	weren't	"smart"	yet	and	weren't	
tracked	
• The	only	social	networks	around	were	LinkedIn,	
Friendster	&	MySpace	(and	they	were	just	launched)

COMPLIMENT	DATA	WITH	FEEDBACK
@adamgreco
Ogen	>mes,	projects	are	95%	complete	when	
someone	says	"shouldn't	we	add	analy>cs?"
AVOID	ANALYTICS	FIRE	DRILLS
• You	need	to	build	analy>cs	into	exis>ng	
processes	so	they	are	thought	of	when	
projects	begin,	not	near	the	end	
• Rushing	to	add	tracking	produces	sub-
op>mal	results	that	make	your	team	
look	bad	
• You	should	refuse	to	add	tracking	when	
it	is	an	ager-thought	or	they	will	never	
learn	a	lesson!

A	FRAMEWORK	FOR	ANALYTICS	SUCCESS
@adamgreco
IMAGINE	THAT	THERE	IS	NO	SPOON
@adamgreco
1. Reverse-engineer	current	implementa>on	into	
business	requirements	
2. Use	your	website/app	and	see	what	ques>ons	can	
be	added	
3. Interview	execu>ves/stakeholders	to	get	business

4. Work	with	stakeholders	to	priori>ze	business
