Five Web Analytics Bloggers that NEED to Get Started Again
If your feed reader is anything like mine, you have no problem getting up to the second SEO info, but my fellow web analytics bloggers are usually a little more taciturn. There are good reasons for this. A good web analytics post takes time to write. It is not some quick rant on why Google’s latest announcement is lame or awesome; it must be carefully considered and thought through. With that in mind here is my list of five Web Analytics Bloggers that I think need to put their spreadsheets down and let the world know what they are up to.
-
Eric Butler of Inside Analytics - Eric always has some interesting news about some cool widget or technical item, and usally WebTrends related. There just isn’t enough of that these days.
-
Dylan Lewis of Passionate Analyst - Seriously good posts always. His thoughtful posts are always enjoyable to read.
-
Ian Houston of Visioactive - Just because you were shortsighted and joined Visual Sciences right before they got acquired, doesn’t mean you should retire from the blogosphere in shame. A real authority on cookie issues and measurement of web 2.0.
-
Wendi of Coremark Analytics - Since I don’t have a statistics background, I rely on the internet to get me educated in this area. Wendi has some posts that are really great, but I need more.
-
Aaron Gray of Greater Returns - While I might disagree with Aaron on the college degree requirement to be a good web analyst, I find his posts insightful and relevant.
So that’s my list, if you know one of these people send an IM or an email and let them know that while writing a blog about web analytics may not make you famous, there are still people who read and enjoy it.
Now, who else has been silent for too long?

Thanks for the mention, Michael. I’ve found that my “requirements” for a good analyst do touch a nerve. Some people really agree - others really disagree. I think that means I’m doing something right. ;-)
I’m thinking about picking up the blogging again…stay tuned. And thanks for the prod.

Well, I’m pimping myself but technically I’m not right in this because you said again. I’ve done nothing, but I need to.
’sup Mike, how’s the lower Snow Belt treating you these days?
