Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The history of Web Analytics is very recent! We saw the arrival of the World Wide Web in 1990. Silently an industry grew in the shadows, an industry designed to monitor the performance of these web sites. This started in a basic way, using simple web page counters in 1990, then moved to logfile analysis in 1995. That industry grew and has become known as Web Analytics and Google Analytics revitalised the whole thing. In teaching Digital Marketing and specialising in Marketing Research I am always at a loss for up to date teaching materials. Textbooks are outdated as quickly as they are published. Web metrics is a moving feast and the task is made harder in this specialist area.
However it must be said that Google Analytics has transformed the sector. That being the case then a GA text is essential and this fits the bill perfectly. The quality seal is the publisher who has the confidence to publish an updated version. So yes, onto the RECOMMENDED READING list for Universities and professional qualifications.

Must Read for Online Marketing Professionals 29 Mar 2012
By Ken M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just got my hands on the 3rd edition of Advanced Web Metrics, and I am happy to say it is a great update to the book. I have said for a while that anyone interesting in online marketing should start by reading Advanced Web Metrics. They then should go learn about all the functional areas of online marketing (e.g., paid search, SEO, email marketing, etc.) and then come back and read Advanced Web Metrics again. Metrics are the cornerstone of online marketing, and Brian Clifton just nails the subject. He does a great job of weaving high level concepts together with real world implementation.

The 3rd edition keeps the book fresh and tackles a number of areas that have changed since the 2nd edition (e.g., the new Google Analytics interface). This is a fast moving area after all!

The only topic I would like to see Brian cover in more detail is privacy. The theories on privacy are pretty clear, but the tools are moving so quickly that there are some gray areas in the real world. Hopefully we will see that in the 4th edition!

The 2nd edition of Advanced Web Metrics has been the only book sitting on my desk for the last 12 months (because it is so darn handy). Now the 3rd edition will have to take its place.

Genial :) 17 May 2012
By Monica - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I already had the 2nd edition and I was looking forward a 3rd one. I had no doubts in buying it, it's "the book" anyone working daily with Google Analytics should have. Almost all the issues you may have, are resolved in the book.
It is easly to read even for non-English speakers (I'm spanish).
I love the structure (basic chapters and advanced ones) and tips and as Google Analytics is changing so quickly I am already looking forward a 4th Edition.
Congrats Brian and all the staff involved in the edition of these books.

The best edition yet - Worth every penny! 17 May 2012
By Adrian Speyer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When this book was released in March, I already owned Brian's two previous editions, so I was a little on the fence about buying the third edition. Eventually, I broke down and bought the 3rd edition, because my second edition was so worn-out. To my surprise the 3rd edition was much larger than the 2nd edition, so I quickly saw this was not just a re-hash of the same. Not only was this book chock full of new information, it had some great code examples for the new version of Google Analytics. This is what I expect in a book titled "Advanced Web Metrics." I can get the basics online, in blogs, but Brian's books really help as a guide to going to the next level. Don't get me wrong there is a good balance here, with plently for those new to Google Analytics as well, including a lovely "Google Analytics in Color" section for those unfamiliar with GA. In short, this book I keep handy as my reference for the right answer on most questions and I cannot recommend it enough for those who are serious about analytics. It was worth every penny.
