5.0 out of 5 stars Yahoo Web Analytics Explained...Absolutely!, June 15, 2009

By	C. Holbech (Burbank, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have worked in the analytics industry for nearly 6 years and anyone who tells you analytics is easy is talking out of their hat! However, as any experienced analyst will tell you there are certain guidelines you can follow that will ease your use of a web analytics product.

Having read Dennis' book and personally worked in Yahoo Web Analytics for over 5 years, there are two things that struck me.

1) Dennis has cleverly turned what can be an incredibly dry subject, into an exciting one; the reader simply has to try putting chapters to the test. The order of the book is logical and, with little jumping around, keeps the reader focused on the job in-hand. As the title denotes: "Tracking, Reporting, and Analyzing for Data-Driven Insights"

2) Equally as important, he has also written the book in such a way that both the 'newbie' and experienced web analyst feels engaged and can leave with takeaways at their respective levels.

I would highly recommend Dennis' book to anyone currently using/starting to use Yahoo! Web Analytics or to complement an experienced users analytics library!

3.0 out of 5 stars If you aren't already a Yahoo Web Analytics customer, don't bother yet, July 21, 2009

By	Jeff Cate (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book and have been reading it. It is well-written and very detailed. If that was all that I was reviewing it on, I would give it five stars.

The problem is that unless you are already an IndexTools customer or one of the few Yahoo Web Analytics chosen customers, it is of no use at all.

I tried to get a Yahoo Web Analytics account as soon as I purchased the book. I have been using Google Analytics for the last couple of years, but felt like Yahoo Web Analytics offers some features that GA doesn't.

Imagine my surprise when Yahoo informed me that Yahoo Web Analytics is not available to the public yet and isn't giving any information about when it will be made publicly available.

I feel like Yahoo took my money on this one. They authorized this book to be published, but now won't release the software that is required to get anything out of it.
