5 minute introduction to IndexTools (Yahoo!) Web Analytics
There’s a lot of positive talk about what IndexTools (Yahoo!) Web Analytics is capable of. I created a 5 minute introduction into the features of IndexTools as an appetizer of the look and feel and some of the basic features - for those who do not yet have an account. This is not comprehensive and I will endeavour to create more detailed videos later.
This is NOT a video in which you as a web analysts should expect to get new insight, but a video that demonstrates and somewhat educates on some of the technical features within IndexTools (Yahoo!) Web Analytics.
You will see features like:
- Control Panel
- Dashboards
- Last Visitor Details (including mark on 7 second latency only)
- First time vs. Returning visitors
- Time Zones (including real-time filtering)
- Search (including real-time dimension and metric customization, through our Custom Report Wizard)
- Search (including real-time filtering on customized report)
- Alerts
- Scenario Analysis (including real-time creation without tagging and on data in retrospective)
- Date Comparison (including dual funnel visualization)
- Path Analysis
- Campaign Summary
- Merchandizing
- Visits (including real-time segmentation with multiple overlapping segments at the same time)
- Notes (he he… a short story by Dennis)
There is a whole lot more to show, but this is what I could pack into a 5 minutes introduction. :-)

Lots of good stuff you got in 5 minutes. : ) Should there be a voice too, because I didn’t get one?

Hi Petri,
No voice this time my friend. There was simply not much room for voice at that pace! :-)
Cheers

Seems very interesting but no sound on the screencast… too bad. It would help.
Is there a French translation of the IndexTools back office? If not do you plan to translate the service?

Hi,
The screen-cast is purely an appetizer; I will really endeavor to create one with audio (me singing) on it – at a later point. In regards to a French interface – all I can say is that the application is based off a language Database and it would technical possible without major changes – whether this will be a priority to begin with is unfortunately unlikely.
Cheers
Dennis :-)

Hi,
Tx for your answer.
I’ma asking about French because it’s often easier to show prospects/clients a French written BO; it’s the froggy thing.
Let me know when we can test the Yahoo IndexTools service.
Cheers, Syvlain
Ps: i’d be delighted to hear you sing and make web analytics rhymes ;)

The tool looks fancy. And how could I get a trial?

Hi Sidney,
Thanks. You unfortunately have to wait as the first planned group of adopter will be Yahoo clients
Cheers
