I had the pleasure of being invited to sit down with Eric Enge from StoneTemple, as part of their 2007 Web Analytics shoot out, talking about 10 cool things you could do with the IndexTools Analytics tool package. As I understand it, he will do a couple of other articles in this “series” – so [...]

I was recently quoted over at the Alarm Clock (inside new technology ventures) – and I absolutely love their blog post title of “Disrupting Web Analytics From Budapest” – there is NO DOUBT that I am going to “steal” that phrase and re-use it over and over and over till Omniture or one of the [...]
