Yahoo! Web Analytics Consultant Network Launch


More exciting news from the Yahoo! Web Analytics team. Dennis Mortensen notes on his blog that Yahoo! will be launching a monster consulting network for Yahoo! Web Analytics.

Mr. Mortensen says, "This is a network of third party companies with expertise in deriving insight from Web Analytics AND deploying Yahoo! Web Analytics in particular."

Once the consulting network site launches, you'll find a list of over 48 Yahoo! Web Analytics partner consultants to choose from!

I've actually worked with a couple of of these partners in the past (such as EngineReady and Semphonic) and they are solid when it comes to helping you drive a higher ROI from your analytics solutions.

And if you are interested in becoming a Yahoo! Web Analytics Partner yourself, here are some of the benefits you'll receive:
  • Yahoo! Web Analytics FREE account creation rights (This is sexy eh?)
  • Listing on Yahoo!’s Consultant Network web page
  • Potential client referrals from the Yahoo! Sales team
  • Exclusive “Yahoo! Web Analytics Consultant Network” icon for display on your website
  • Premium levels of technical support and access to a partner portal
  • Access to an exclusive YWACN forum to share ideas and technical tips with other top analysts worldwide
  • Unique opportunities to work with Yahoo! to provide trainings, books and speaking engagements

Hey retailers, it's time to step up your coupon game!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news retailers but I can't find your coupons online.  I've run countless coupon related searches (on all of the major search engines) for some of your largest brands such as Staples, Target, McDonalds, Home Depot, and CVS to name a few. To be quite honest, it's a lousy consumer experience. All I see are countless affiliate sites that claim to offer me coupons from the retailer but RARELY deliver.  Sites like Techbargains.com serve up links which you think will provide you with a coupon but all they do is redirect you to the retailer's home page.  I invite you to try it.  Click on one of the green 'Activate Coupon' buttons to access the particular coupon: http://www.techbargains.com/staplescoupons.cfm .  It tells you to 'Please wait while we activate your deal' as it downloads who knows what to your system.  Just when you get excited about being presented with a coupon that you can print out and take into the ret...

Monetizing Big Data In Yahoo Web Analytics

There's been a lot of talk/press already around Yahoo's new CEO, Scott Thompson, and his thoughts on big data at Yahoo.  Here are a few examples that have already been written since yesterday: Yahoo's New CEO Has Data Focus Can Yahoo's New CEO Thompson Harness Big Data Analytics? The Key To Yahoo's Long Term Health?

Hadoop is used by Yahoo, eBay, LinkedIn and Facebook. Google uses a proprietary version of Hadoop" And Hortonworks, a big data company that  spun out from Yahoo this past summer expects that "Half the worlds data will be on Hadoop in 5 years" So if Mr Thompson is looking to monetize "big d...

Analyzing Analyst Struggles

Raise your hand if you are an analyst and you've run into one of these issues before: Data Discrepancies:  Your stakeholder approaches you and says, "I noticed the data in your report doesn't match the data in this other report.  Which one is correct?" No Data:   Your stakeholder asks for some data but after some further research, you realize that product team never implemented the proper tracking.  Zero.  Zilch.  Nada. Blocked Access:   Your stakeholder asks for a dashboard that requires integration from multiple data sources.  You go to query the data but realize you don't even have access to one of the databases.   Ad Hoc Request Madness:   Multiple stakeholders ask for data, dashboards, and insights all at the same time.  And they want it yesterday. Groundhog Day Questioning:   Your stakeholders ask the same questions over and over and over again. Below I've laid out some of the Top Analyst Struggles along with the impacts ...
