5.0 out of 5 stars More than just analytics, this is a manual for customer focused web marketing, 24 Aug 2007
By Mr. T. Leighton-Boyce (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best hands-on guide to web analytics and the importance of analytics to any on-line marketing project I have yet found.

The book balances both the high-level aspects of web analytics -- the philosophy, if you like -- with a huge amount of specific, practical, how-to information. It may seem like a big book, but I don't see how it could have been any shorter and still delivered so much.

Fortunately, it's an extremely readable book. I like the language and the style of the book. Avinash's enthusiasm for the subject comes singing out of the pages. He makes the subject seem fun and he sustains that over hundreds of pages. That's a remarkable achievement when you consider the length.

I have a shelf full of business or self-improvement books which try to make themselves readable and accessible by interjecting folksy anecdotes full of people with made up names every few pages. It's a very common approach. The result is often repetitious fluff. This book is very different. There is no padding of that kind: the examples given are all very clearly based on personal experience and are there for good reason. They are informative. They are not simply structural devices.

The language itself is also distinctive and entertaining. I believe that Avinash grew up listening to the BBC World Service. Although it's an American book, there are notes in the language which echoe a different world in a way which I find refreshing.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. One of my colleagues has a copy where most of the pages are thick with highlighter ink. The quality of information is that high. It really is that good. If you can buy only one book on the subject, this is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for those interested in making their website more effective, 7 Jun 2007
By M. Chaplin "Marianina" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book really is a must read if you have any interest in making your site work more effectively with immediate actionable web analytics - whether you're a CEO, marketing manager or a web analyst for FOOTSIE 500 companies like myself.
Avinash is an inspiration to me (and a very wide audience I do believe) and a beacon of clarity in his sedulous pursuit of web analytic principles that transform we way we see and act on marketing performance to make it work better. I truly do mean that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Web Analytics: A must for ever web team, 1 Aug 2007
By Lucy Spence "fumbles" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not a web analyst. Nor am I a statistician. However I've just finished reading `Web Analytics: An Hour a Day' and I feel like I could do a pretty good job of the former without being daunted by the latter.

It all comes down to one concept - that of a data driven decision making culture. Or put another way, how to maximise the return on all your hard work. Avinash describes it wonderfully and provides lots of useful advice about how to achieve it.

If that sounds dull, fear not - Avinash does a much better job of making it interesting and exciting.

If you're a web analyst, you shouldn't need this review to convince you to buy the book - read some of Avinash's blog posts and you'll soon work it out for yourself. If you're not an analyst but you're involved in managing a website or sites you'll find it incredibly refreshing and useful (failing that make sure at least one person one your web team has read it).

Personally I can't recommend it highly enough. You don't have to read it cover to cover, and even the most experienced web professionals should find plenty to think about.
