By JG

I read pretty much everything there is on web analytics; including books, blogs, white papers and anything else I can get my hands on. This book differentiates itself slightly from many other books in that it focuses heavily on the organisational and management aspects of building a data-driven culture. However, whilst these aspects of the book are indeed fairly unique and insightful, on the whole the book is badly written, confusingly organised and seems altogether rushed. What is most shocking is the unfathomable quantity of typos and grammatical errors, which leads very quickly to a lack of trust in the content itself.

Furthermore (regardless of the poor publishing structure and spell-checking) the content is really nothing that hasn't been said before, and is actually rather misinformed in places. The author is basically attempting to systematise every minute aspect of the web analytics process. Whilst this is a noble project, I don't believe it is ultimately possible. This is what happens when people with overly statistical analytical backgrounds are let loose on the management aspects of web measurement. Successful web analytics is, above all else, a form of creative and entrepreneurial effectiveness; the ability to see and pursue opportunity. Making a scorecard out of everything destroys this fluidity and is, in my opinion, ultimately futile.

On the whole I would say that this is definitely one of the worst books on the subject around at the moment, however if you are struggling with organisational structure then you might find some useful insights.
