Tracking The Right Stuff
Did
you know?
One of the most powerful features in web analytics software is the ability to
track metrics for more than 1 event or "action".
For
instance, let's say the primary action you're looking for on your site is a lead
or a sale, but you also have a newsletter and a contact form. To get the
best results from your campaign, you're going to want to measure performance
(number of actions and the keyword cost associated with those actions) for each
of those actions.
Why?
Well since a sale is worth more to your business than a newsletter sign-up,
you're willing to pay more for a keyword that generates a sale versus a
newsletter sign-up. Now assume your analytics is only tracking the number of sales
and the associated keyword costs that generated those sales.
Based
on this data, how do you know how much you can profitably bid on keywords that
generate leads for you through your newsletter sign-up form?
Without
the metrics for your newsletter sign-up, you might reduce your bids on keywords
not generating sales, even though those keywords are generating you profitable
leads via your newsletter sign-up.
In
order to accurately manage a campaign in this situation, your analytics programs
must allow you to define and track more than 1 action.
If
you're using Engine Ready's Conversion Analyst software, you can define and
track up to 10 different actions, giving you the power to measure the
effectiveness of your online marketing campaign, and determine which keywords
are driving your various actions.
Sounds
good . How do I set it up?

than 1 action. We've broken down the process into 3
