If you wanted to know what they are thinking just go and ask them

Multivariate or A/B testing is very cool and useful. Today’s solutions are very flexible and allows you to test several pieces of marketing (ads, lading pages, etc) in real time without the need of being an expert. You have tools for any particular need, free solutions like Google Content Experiments; paid solutions for a low price like Convert, Optimizely, Unbounce and VWO; and paid solutions for bigger budgets like Adobe Test & Target, Sitespect and Autonomy optimost among others.     Even though this kind of solutions are great and useful it is important to know what are they useful

Awards of excellence – Digital Analytics Association

As every year the Digital Analytics Association is conducting the Awards for Excellence. This year I can’t be more glad with the nominations, not just because I was nominated as practitioner of the year but also Intellignos was Nominated as Most Influential Vendor! Intellignos has an amazing team headed by the awesomely perfectionist Richard Dawson, that can definitely win any prize but the idea of being nominated with companies like Adobe and Google is the best way to let us know that we are on the right track. Congratulations Intelligners, you rock! Intellignos and me are waiting for your vote

HOW TO AVOID RISK WITH TWIN ANALYTICS

If you are using a page tagging web analytics solution you must be aware that your information is being (in the most of cases) saved in a third party database, ergo if anything happen with your service provider or you just want to change it you will lose your historic information. Your historic information is all what you’ve got to plan your future action, so losing it will leave you almost blind. So one way for avoiding this risk is just implementing another web analytics tool in parallel. I mean, I’m not talking about training you and your team for

CALL IT AS YOU WANT JUST HELP ME MAKE DECISIONS

It’s somehow funny but for some reasons we (people) use to generate multiple systems from something that has just one objective by generating some fake objectives. In this case it’s regarding the activities related with generating and providing information for decision making. This kind of activities are provided today by different disciplines (that in some companies do share departments and in some others don’t) like Market Research, Web Analytics, Business Intelligence, CRM (part of it), Data Mining, and so on. So is getting harder to understand what’s the limit of each discipline. So the people from those disciplines fight for hours arguing which information must be generated by the Market Research

WHY INFORMATION DOESN’T MEAN INSIGHT

I know, you probably read the header and said, I know it is not, however sometimes the obvious it is not that obvious so let’s go for it. Information is just set of data ordered and processed in an specific way that make it relevant for decision making. However the human brain is responsible for the magic of understanding a situation using this information. A tool will never be able to do this. Humans performs very poorly with repetitive processes but are great creating things based on information understanding. To break the wall and invade the “Insights” arena it is

ANALYTICS NINJAS UNDERCOVER

During the last HOWA Buenos Aires Mariano Amartino (one of the most recognized bloggers in the region) was presenting the topic Analytics & Bloggers. He agued that he is not an Analytics expert but just a guy that uses a couple of metrics and a lot of intuition to manage their blogs. Actually I invited him to challenge us (people working in Analytics). You know, something like “I never used Analytics and I’m very successful”. I had the fantasy that if it is possible to be successful without Analytics then we had a lot to learn from…actually we could even understand why Analytics is not as much developed in

A/B TESTING OR 360 VIEW? “BENEFITS” IS THE KEY

Identifying the type of information we are handling is the base for building decision-making scenarios with an acceptable level of risk. The type of information has nothing to do with the information source.  The information source is just a mere “provider” but is not important at all once the information is already in your information system. For instance a Web Analytics tool could provide Behavioral information, however some of them could provide attitudinal information and it doesn’t make any change as long as you know which kind of information you are handling in every case. If your Web Analytics tool just provide Behavioral information (all the Web Analytics tools do it)
