What I Talked About

It was a 10-minute presentation, with a few very basic points:

1. Reports do not equal analytics. Analytics mean you did the work of analysis.
2. At a minimum, you want to have the following data: Referring keywords; pageviews per visit, by keyword; time on site, by keyword; bounce rate, by keyword; if possible, conversion rate by keyword.
3. Look at all of these statistics together. Looking just at pageviews or bounce rate can lead to snap judgments.
4. If you can, compare external referring search terms to search terms entered into your site search. You can learn a lot in that comparison.

Thanks to SEMPDX for inviting me. It was a blast!
