Reference for Web Analytics

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2013

Website analytics is serious business. Eric address the subject matter in a direct and informational manner. I have lead several webteams across several Automobile companies and consider this one of the best reference sources for analytics. The depth of detail can address novice and professional alike and revisiting the book will always yield either refreshed insights. This is a book that I come back too time and time again.

Good window on basic concepts

Good window on basic concepts. Although a bit dated, it's still nice to have in a library on web analytics.

This was outdated and simple before it was pubslished. You can read better info just glancing at some white papers for web analytic firms. Even the person the author got to write a preface only suggested reading a few chapters - which you could read in no-time-at all.

Eric Peterson did a great job in demystifying web analytics. I'm a web metrics analyst in a Fortune 300 consumer brand and learned a lot from this book.

One of the top books on the subject

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2004

I've read the 'classics' by Sterne and Inan, as well as some other good and bad books on web analytics, and this one is among the best.
What I especially like is the way each approach to analytics is thoroughly examined, and the strengths and weaknesses objectively discussed. Some books are dogmatic in their approach, locking the reader into the author's view of analytics. This one differs by giving readers enough information with examples, clearly articulated factors, and other identified best practices to accept compromise solutions based on budget, level of in-house expertise and other considerations.
Another aspect of this book is the way the author cuts through ambiguous terminology that is rampant in the web analytics discipline, which does demystify. The comprehensive discussion of tools, classified by type, is another area where this book shines. There is too much vendor hype that promotes fear, confusion and doubt, and this book cuts through the hype and uncovers what is and is not important, as well as sets realistic expectations.
Using the same comprehensive approach as in other parts of this book, the author covers metrics in great detail. This is, afterall, the essence of web analytics, and the thoroughness and scope of metrics make this book an invaluable resource.
If you need to learn web analytics, select tools to support it, or are a practicing web analytics analyst this book is one which should be on your desk - and given to other team members and stakeholders. It raises the bar in books on the subject and is destined to become a classic.

A must have for any serious Internet Marketer

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2006

If you are doing Web Analytics already and use tools like Google Analytics, Web Trends, Web Position Pro, Clicktracks or similar products today, grab this book and get a deeper understanding of the various metrics you have already seen or ignored to this day, because you were not able to apply the results to your business.

If you are not doing Web Analytics, but have an online business and even use methods like PPC Advertisement and/or Search Engine Optimization to promote your products or services, get a copy of the book today and a Web Analytics Solution implemented into you Website "tomorrow".

You are throwing money out of the window every day you wait to get proper tracking and analytics in place. Read this book and you will understand why.

Narrative introduction to Web Analytics

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2006

In this book, Eric Peterson describes the basics of Web Analytics in a story-kind way. The text is very accurate, easy-to-read, and interesting. It is surely a good buy.

However, I prefer by far his book "Web Site Measurement Hacks" (I also wrote a review there), it is much more complete. Additionally, the Hacks are organized in a better way, more web analytics' friendly; I believe that it is more helpful to have a book divided in many subjects and not in an ongoing narrative, that's the way I practice Web Analytics, and I like to refer to a book as my doubts appear (though both styles are valid and important).

I bought both and I like both. But if I had to choose, I would go for the Hacks.

If you have invested any money on the Web, read it !

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2004

I wonder whether we should still try to make the Web analytics case in 2004. If you don't measure your Web data, you are simply incompetent. If you measure it, or are planning to do so, you MUST read Eric Peterson's book. As a Web analyst myself, I can humbly say that I have read everything on the topic, and Web Analytics Demystified is the most complete one. It covers all the major questions, and also goes into important details that will make you save a lot of time (I can tell you !). Everything you need to know in terms of using analytics with your marketing efforts is there, and it will also take you a long way on the technical side. Once you are finished, go ahead and read Eisenberg, Sterne, and Inan; you should master what they have to teach you. Peterson's book will definitely be counted as belonging to this very select group.
The book will surely become a reference you will often consult. One only regrets then that it comes in such low quality paperback.
