I attended the Webanalytics Congres in Zeist (The Netherlands) last Thursday and must say that I am absolutely stunned to see this many practitioners attending the event. The Networking was equally great, getting the chance to say hi to:

Steven Kraal - Leads2Business
Aurélie Pols and René Dechamps (what happened to Siegert?) - OX2
Fulton Yancy - [...]

I returned safely yesterday, from a great Emetrics San Francisco summit! – No need for me to give you an update; as I am most sure we meet there already :-)However; you can find some comments from my fellow bloggers here (NB: highly inflated with GA2 posts, but that is only fair, as it is [...]

Today at Emetrics San Francisco 2007 Brett Crosby and Jeffrey Veen from Google announced the NEW Google Analytics – which they indicated have been a year in the works.
It includes among other things updates on:

Discoverability and data in context
Customizable dashboards
Scheduled email reports
Better visualization
Improved “segmentation”

Honestly; it looks good!! :-) … and they will definitely move closer [...]

Finishing up and closing down after some successful days at ad:tech San Francisco – and with this event being one of the biggest shows in the interactive world and the SF event is doubtless one of the premier locations for the ad:tech guys – it did not disappoint.

On the fun [...]

Just finishing up and closing down after four great days at Search Engine Strategies – New York … Waiting to go to the Airport in Newark (how did I end up there?).

I think my one (actually two) takeaways from this show would be that:

Use of Analytics to perform in a very competitive Affiliate Marketing [...]

I had the chance to sit down with David White from weboptimiser and comment on Emetrics and the Web Analytics industry general.
David’s comments:“Dennis from IndexTools explains why you should visit the next Emetrics Summit, He tells us what is in it for him, what is in it for you, why visitors enjoy the event and [...]

I attended Emetrics in London last week (..and just returned to the office) - and must say that this was definitely worthwhile. I think the biggest take-away from this show was the presentation by Vincent Kermorgant from Nokia, titled: “Implementing Web Analytics the Nokia way”.

What I liked about this presentation, was that it did not [...]

I just returned from SES in Munich; and from an Exhibitor point of view – it was not that bad! :-)
I was sitting in on Rand Fishkin’s presentation yesterday and beyond the usual fantastic show, he gave one memorable quote about how you could “easily” manage your online reputation - agreeing that SERP results is [...]
