KissMetrics Experience / Feedback
-
Hi Mozzers.
Can anyone share their experiences using KissMetrics: pros, cons, how it compares to Google Analytics etc?
Thanks, I appreciate any input.

Ah, my bad. That's probably why they changed their name.

Highland,
You are talking about KissInsights, which is different from Kissmetrics.
Kissmetrics is an advanced tool which gives you some better control than Google Analytics.
You can find most of the information about their freatures on their official website, but the key difference is the level of customized reports you can generate with Kissmetrics is better.
Important: The usability of Kissmetrics varies from business to business. The best way to find out if you need kissmetrics is:
-
Use google analytics for a few days (if you're not using it correctly) in your business. Try out their goals, conversions, and customized dashboards.
-
If you feel you need higher control over your data that Google Analytics isn't correctly providing, and kissmetrics provides that data, then you can think about migrating.
-
Before signing up, make sure the data you need from Kissmetrics outweighs the cost associated with it.
The standard reporting, goals, social analytics etc is same in Google analytics and kissmetrics (although kissmetrics provides better social signals data)

First off, it's Qualaroo now. Not sure what that has to do with metrics but it's not my brand.
Second, it doesn't replace GA, it complements it. The idea is that a user can submit instant feedback. We write our own e-commerce platform and use it in the checkout process to get feedback. Sometimes the feedback isn't useful but once in a while your users can tell you about problems before you find them. It's very useful.

In Google Analytic Experiment I want to Judge Performance of Page Along with Pageviews, Bounces, Transaction etc
Hi All, For my ecommerce site for mobile site category page I have redesign the page in 2 different ways so one original page and 2 new designs. Now I want to do A/B testing with google experiment. I want to measure performance of page via pageviews, bounce rate, exit rate, conversion rate, add to basket etc. Now in objective for this experiment I can select anyone thing either Pageviews, or bounces or transaction or goal. So my query is 1) I cannot select all objective together? 2) or for same page I have to create too many experiments by selecting each objective? 3) exit rate or add to basket objective is not in experiment list so? Thanks!

What type of links/redirect is Yahoo! using?
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what type redirect or hyperlinking Yahoo! is using on their article pages. For example:
Reporting & Analytics | | William.Lau
https://shopping.yahoo.com/blogs/fashionate/spring-clean-your-beauty-routine--10-tips-on-looking-fresh-this-season-000058218.html Hover over an external link, it shows you the ending URL. Right or left click it, it gives you a 302 redirect. When you actually left click it, it adds and "id" attribute, I assume for tracking. However, when you left click the the hyperlink, it no longer shows as a 302. I have limited working knowledge of web development techniques, so anyone with advance knowledge or have actually done this, it'd be helpful to understand this more.0 -

GA stopped tracking traffic, suddenly, why¿? :-/
2 days ago GA stopped receiving data. It only stopped for one account of all my projects. At this moment there are 5 persons navigating the site and these days there where numerous visitors as they contacted the support team thru the site. GA says that it's receiving the code, hw, I checked it twice. The tracking code is located below the footer, in the body. It was there for few years.... I also checked if there is some js conflict, negative. Is there something that could make the tracking to stop? Does anybody experienced similar problems¿? Should I be worried...¿? (and with SEOmoz server with issues not sure when will see new results.......) EDIT: In Web Master Tools I see results for indexing, with yesterday date, so I assume that the site crawling is ok and must be GA issue.

How Do You Determine The Value/Worth of A #1 Ranking?
There are many articles out there, some outdated, and I am confused as to how to determine the value/worth (in terms of estimated revenue and traffic percentage) when you achieve a #1 ranking in google. I am also looking for a way to estimate the value, say, if a lower ranked keyword jumped to a better position--what that increase might be. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
