User behaviour reports
-
Hi there!
we are all aware about the importance of user behaviour in search results. But I am a bit short of ideas in how a good report/analysis of this specific topic would be.
So far, I have managed to do the following:
-
Usability tests and anlysis using tools like crazy egg, in order to check how is the traffic flow and the call to actions to the best products regarding people who come from SEO traffic.
-
GA analysis focused on: bounce rate, page views and traffic flow
Is there anything else you would add to these two items to get the most out of this topic?
thanks a lot in advance!!

thanks for your answer, although I am still a bit lost about new options to start with. Analytics world is huge!

Good morning,
I think you're off to a great start. One thing I would touch on considering your essentially talking about bounce rates and analytics reports are all the other companies out there aside from Google that do analytics for instance I use HubSpot, Adobe's Omniture Sitecatalyst, core metrics, kiss metrics, Web Trends & Reinvigorate by Web Trends https://www.reinvigorate.net/ the reason for so many is a lot of the businesses I'm involved with have different needs. For instance if one has a Web server in place already it might be much less money for them to use web trends in-house version than to pay for a software as a service version. Then again I use kiss metrics and Reinvigorate because one is only $20 a month to others for only $10 a month program that will give me heat maps and create reports is worth its weight in $10 bills.. I believe Adobe has the crown currently and is the King if you want to get technical however core metrics is honestly in my opinion just as good better for some things. What I would do is make your report on why some people choose to not use Google analytics. I know it sounds crazy however I personally would rather not use Google as opposed to use some of the services I have listed as it's just a little less information Google has of mine not to mention I truly enjoy using HubSpots all-in-one system you can't beat it if you're using a content management system and making many pages and want your prospects along with fairly comprehensive analytics built-in. I hope I was of help to you I would also add the good parts about Google and Yahoo ( have never used Yahoo analytics however I know they are free) things like certain video programs for CDNs use in the Google analytics ID along with outstanding programs such as SEOmoz with their campaign tools. I hope this is giving you some ideas of what to write about I look forward to reading it.
Sincerely,
Thomas Zickell

Displaying different site content to users who have already visited your site
I've seen and heard about the concept of treating repeat site visitors differently, displaying different content based on behavior etc. Not sure what it's called buy Hubspot seems to offer something like this with their platform. Anyone know of a third party app (Wordpress perhaps) or tool that does this? How does this even work? Thanks for the help!!

How to test a site for usability with hundreds users and get genuine feedback?
My question is twofold; firstly is there a recommended company that I could use to get feedback on my site usability. Ideally I would like this company to arrange a focus group of a couple hundred people that fit into the right demographic and organise a report on the opinions of the group and the issues faced. Secondly an in-house understanding of usability Now I would like to think that when I review a site for usability I am not biased in any way. But I believe that if I look at the page that I have created or even collaborated on that I will always miss usability issues as I frankly think my/our creation is amazing. I'm interested to know how people rank and check their site usability and what factors rank highest in their assessments i.e. the tools you use and how you use them.

What's the best SEO management system for link building and reporting?
We've tried multiple management systems, with the last one being Raven Tools (I think this is the most popular). We've also done our own manual tracking in excel and that gets very very tedious and sometimes hard to keep track of. What are some other ones that people have found that have been easy to use and made their work much more efficient (link building/tracking, reporting, competitive research, social, etc.)?
