What is web analytics?

Performance Metrics Framework
• Measurements for assessing the effectiveness of internet marketing
can be thought of as answering these questions:
• Are corporate objectives identified in the internet marketing strategy being
met?
• Are marketing objectives defined in the internet marketing strategy and
plan achieved?
• How efficient are the different promotional techniques used to attract,
interact, engage and retain visitors to a site?

Channel buyer behaviour
• Once customers have been attracted to the site we can monitor
content accessed, when they visit and how long they stay, and
whether this interaction with content leads to satisfactory marketing
outcomes such as new leads or sales.
• If visitors are incentivised to register on-site it is possible to build up
profiles of behaviour for different segments. It is also important to
recognise return visitors for whom cookies or login are used.
• Key ratios are:
•
•
•
•
Bounce rates for different pages, i.e. proportion of single page visits
Home page views/all page views e.g. 20% = (2358/11 612)
Stickiness: Page views/visitor sessions e.g. 6% = 11 612/2048
Repeats: Visitor sessions/visitors e.g. 2% = 2048/970

Collecting site-visitor activity data
• records the number of visitors on the site and the paths or
clickstreams they take through the site as they visit different content.
• Page impressions or page views and unique visitors are good
measures of site activity.
