VisualRevenue | 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. :-)

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

Cheers

Is there a French translation of the IndexTools back office? If not do you plan to translate the service?
At April 30, 2008 , Dennis R. Mortensen said...: 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 :-)

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 ;)

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

Cheers
