Search: Not Provided: What Remains, Keyword Data Options, the Future
In late 2011, Google announced an effort to make search behavior more secure. Logged-in users were switched to using httpS from http. This encrypted their search queries from any prying eyes, and kept from being passed on to websites the users visits after seeing search results. This led to the problem we, Marketers, SEOs, Analysts, […]

Six Visual Solutions To Complex Digital Marketing/Analytics Challenges
Two things I love a lot: 1. Frameworks, because if I can teach someone a new mental model, a different way of thinking, they can be incredibly successful. 2. Visuals, because if I can paint a simple picture about something complex it means I understand it and in turn I can explain it to others. […]

Google Analytics Visitor Segmentation: Users, Sequences, Cohorts!
My love for segmentation knows no bounds. Weather you do online, offline, nonline analysis, or just randomly playing with data, insights arrive faster with segmentation. In fact I’ve gone so far as to say: “All data in aggregate is crap.” That’s certainly a bit melodramatic, but beyond the most bare bones “ahh, I see something […]

See-Think-Do: A Content, Marketing, Measurement Business Framework
The world does not need a new business framework. I get “About 269,000,000 results (0.25 seconds)” for business framework on Google today. But most of the frameworks available to us solve for divisional silos. For example AIDA is from the siloed lens of Marketing (and full disclosure, I humbly believe serves company’s own selfish perspective). […]

Eight Silly Data Things Marketing People Believe That Get Them Fired.
It turns out that Marketers, especially Digital Marketers, make really silly mistakes when it comes to data. Big data. Small data. Any data.

The Lean Analytics Cycle: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act
This should not be news to you. To win in business you need to follow this process: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act. Online, offline or nonline. Yet this structure rarely exists in companies. We are far too enamored with data collection and reporting the standard metrics we love because others love them because […]

Is Your Brand Magnificent At Digital Marketing? A Diagnostic Framework.
We like to believe that all there is to digital marketing is to do some search engine optimization, send out an email blast every once in a while, get our agency to create a flash-heavy “brand experience” website, or slap together a mobile app in the corporate-approved shade of eggshell white. A small bang here, […]
