Note from Bobette Kyle

Hello All -

Today's articles are both about improving site success through emetrics...

Jim Sterne's, "Let There Be Light: A religious tract on web analytics" is a thoroughly entertaining, tongue in cheek commentary on the importance of measuring Website success. Don't miss it.

My feature article is Part 2 of a Site Success series: "How To Measure and Improve Site Success, Part 2: Evaluate Site Activity through Web Metrics". It explains some measures you can use to uncover opportunities for site improvement. You'll find reference to a couple of detailed resources as well.

Speaking of Resources...

I've recently received several requests to pass along useful information - among them, a new list building book with a twist, an emarketing conference, and an emetrics summit - so don't forget to have a look in "My Inbox".

Enjoy,
Bobette

Feature Article
How To Measure and Improve Site Success,
Part 2: Evaluate Site Activity With Web Metrics

Measuring and understanding your Website's performance is a process that is sometimes placed permanently on the "back burner". Knowing how and why your site performs the way it does, however, can lead to greater success.

In this Part 2 in the Site Success series, I look at several Web metrics, ways to measure and improve your site by understanding the data.

My Inbox

Emarketing Association President Robert Fleming asked me to pass along news of the upcoming Power of eMarketing Conference. The annual conference is May 21st and 22nd in Boston. Read all about it here: http://www.emarketingassociation.com/events/conference/index.htm

Mining Online Gold With an Offline Shovel: How To Build a Massive Online Mailing List by Mastering Offline Promotion, by George McKenzie and Joel Christopher, is a hit. Upon release last Thursday, it peeked at number 2 on Amazon. George has been a guest author twice for this newsletter. Have a look at his new book here:
Mining Online Gold with an Offline Shovel on Amazon.

Jim Sterne's annual Emetrics Summit is June 23 - 25 in Santa Barbara, California. See more information below, in the Guest Article section.

Dan Ries is the new Director of Marketing & Innovation at CMA, a Houston based Brand Presence and Design firm. Dan and I used to work together at Nestlé's Sunmark Division, where he was Marketing Manager for our Disney licensed products.

CMA offers a wide range of design services. Those of you in the Houston area (David Frey, Sharon Fling, etc.), give Dan a shout if you ever have a need.
