Advanced Web Analytics

Harness the Power of Advanced Web Analytics Training and Convert Data Into Profits!

Interactive marketing has exploded in popularity and usage, due in large part to its measurability. Web analytics tools make it possible to track everything from page hits to visitor demographics to advertising ROI. However, the key to success is not just obtaining accurate and plentiful data — it’s knowing how to use that information to your advantage. If you’re not making optimal use of your findings, it could be costing you money, customers and your competitive edge.

New research from Econsultancy and Lynchpin shows a shift from spending on technology (which decreased from 45% to 38%) to spending on internal staff (which increased from 36% to 42%)* as more organizations realize that even the best data is meaningless without trained analytics professionals to interpret it.

Advanced Web Analytics goes beyond the platform and empowers your employees to master the discipline. Not only will they learn what to measure and how to measure it, but they’ll also discover how to analyze the data and use it to optimize your website and campaigns.

Accomplished analytics experts provide a high-level strategic view, focusing on the core concepts that will remain constant even as the tools continue to evolve. In just eight weeks, this advanced specialized course will equip your team with the web analytics training they need to leverage your metrics and maximize your marketing success!
