Three of my learnings re tracking
1. Don’t aim for perfection
2. Creativity is critical (yes really)
3. Your tracking solution should be aimed at the lowest common
denominator

Getting the Page Naming Convention right
 Three rules for any page naming convention

ANALYSIS & INSIGHTS TIPS
@peter_oneill #ilive2015
Analysing a website funnel performance
Page 16 @peter_oneill #ilive2015
Business Performance Diagnostic
 Identify underperforming areas
 Create a list of actions with value per fix
#ilive2015@peter_oneillPage 17
Monitor negative experiences on the website
 Are negative website experiences an issue for you?
1. Viewing 404 Error pages
2. Experiencing Form Validation errors
3. Returning zero results from an internal search
 If % Sessions that experience issues is above X%, take action
 Set own limit but should be below 5%
@peter_oneillPage 18 #ilive2015
Identify the cause of form validation errors
Page 19 @peter_oneill #ilive2015
Identify the cause of 404 error pages
 From my core tracking recommendations:
1. The full URL of the page being viewed
2. The referrer to this page
 Key use is identifying the cause of 404 error pages
 URL that generated error
 Previous page whether off site or an internal page
@peter_oneillPage 20 #ilive2015
Identify search terms with 0 search results
 Tracking required is search terms for each search and the number of
search results that are returned
 Get a report of search terms with ZERO search results
 Fix it so people can find what they were looking for
@peter_oneillPage 21 #ilive2015
The Perfect Report
See this…
… do that

#ilive2015Page 23 @peter_oneill
Content Report
 Remember all that
content tracking
earlier?
 Article #2 – is not
actually that good
 Article #11 – promote
everywhere you can
 Note these reports
can also be grouped
by category, author,
etc

COMPANY & PROCESS TIPS
@peter_oneill #ilive2015
Ambition: Analytics Perfection
Cannot be achieved when
access to the analytics
data/intelligence is
controlled by the few
#ilive2015Page 26 @peter_oneill
Educate people on the basics – then more
 HITS – How Idiots Track Success
 UVs = Users = unique browsers = inflated number
 Campaign tracking is easy, attribution is hard
 You can track anything e.g. Weather
#ilive2015Page 27 @peter_oneill
Exposing analytics to the organisation
Analytics is not about
reporting…
…but reporting is
critical for analytics

Summary
@peter_oneill
People want data?
 Once you have educated
people, they should
start asking questions
& making requests
 If people want analytics
support, must first give:
1. An hypothesis of what
they expect to see in the
data
2. The action they will
take based on the data
#ilive2015Page 29 @peter_oneill
Analytics needs to go viral
 Spread throughout the company
 For every new campaign & website
feature
 Success is defined
 KPIs are defined
 Targets are set
 Is tracked properly
 Performance is evaluated
 The business learns & improves
