We are not using Data Reporting as the outcome of Web Analytics, although it is part of Analytics.

While reports are vital, the business insights generated are more valuable

These insights are actionable across all levels of business

The ability to synthesize business insights from Analytics Reports – defines the true capability of Web Analysts

Do you agree?

Interpreting Data



TOPIC 4:

Who is a Web Analyst?

Perception

Need programming background

Work in the trenches – pour into server logs,

session data, API integration, etc.

Reality

Useful, but no programming skills

needed

Useful to know where your data flows in

from, but not really part of the job

Who is a Web Analyst?

Perception

Generate reports using analytics & MS

Office tools daily, circulate to relevant

staff

More tool / analysis skills than employer business / industry knowledge required

Reality

While reporting is important, making

sure they are actionable is vital

Knowing your employer’s business and the industry is

critical
