Google Analytics For Local Search: Tracking Traffic From The 10 Pack
Mike Belasco, SEOverflow | 6/30/09

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

Traditionally URL parameters such as those found in your tracking URL come after a ? in the URL. However we replaced the ? with a # remember? The reason we did this is search engines such as Google don’t consider URLs with # in them as ‘duplicate content’, saving us from any future problems.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. Track SEO rankings with Google Analytics
    Andre Scholten, Yoast.com | 1/5/09
  2. Google Analytics Maximized: Deeper Analysis, Higher ROI & You
    Avinash Kaushik, Occam’s Razor | 1/6/09

The winner and runners-up are welcome to grab the appropriate badge — we have a badge for both winners and runners-up.

Don’t Be Overwhelmed By Data
Vanessa Fox, adCenter Analytics Blog | 12/11/08

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

People often ask me what data they should be paying attention to, but the answer really depends on your situation: What are your goals? What stage is your site in? From that mountain of data, you may only need a few pieces of actionable information to help you measure your current efforts and make adjustments for the future. A mature site embarking a new TV-based branding campaign will use very different measurements than a new site relying on grass roots efforts to get the word out.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. Video Optimization and Analytics: A closer look at YouTube Insight
    Jake Matthews, 10e20 | 7/15/08
  2. How To Excite People About Web Analytics: Five Tips
    Avinash Kaushik, Occam’s Razor | 4/8/08

The winner and runners-up are welcome to grab the appropriate badge — we have a badge for both winners and runners-up.

Web Analytics Demystified
Avinash Kaushik, Occam’s Razor | 12/18/07

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

You are looking, first, for pages with the highest bounce rate. Remember bounce rate measures this from a costumer’s perspective: I came, I puked, I left. Or technically speaking: single page view sessions.

Pages with a high bounce rate are not delivering on the promise that is driving customers to your site. The ones in the top ten Entry Pages report need your attention.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. SEO: Metrics That Matter
    Stephan Spencer, Practical E-Commerce | 6/17/07
  2. Analytics on the Cheap: Six Free Stats Packages for the Startup or Small-Business Owner
    Tamar Weinberg, 10e20 | 3/1/07
