5 minute introduction to IndexTools (Yahoo!) Web Analytics

- by Dennis R. Mortensen. Sunday, April 27, 2008 email  print   share

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?

  2. Dennis R. Mortensen Says:

    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?

  4. Dennis R. Mortensen Says:

    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?

  7. Dennis R. Mortensen Says:

    Hi Sidney,

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

    Cheers
    Dennis
