Web analytics Basics revisited

It was a while ago that i wrote about the importance of web analytics basics knowledge and how it forms the foundation for a web analyst. I also started with series of posts labelled Web Analytics Back to basics.


This was thanks to a great discussion on the Web Analytics forum about What makes a great web analyst or the traits one look for. 

The Web Analytics back to basic series will now be continued (thanks that now i have couple of folks to help me) on the Web Analytics India blog. So here are the topics to be covered!

I read your blog quite often. You wrote about What makes a great web analyst, Can you please provide the information to your blog readers about the Industry in India. Because this is quite a new field and is evolving so there are very few professional in this field. Mostly People use Google analytics but most big organization wants people already worked on Omniture, Web Trends tools.

Hi Nice Blog .I think HR understands the importance of other people tracking time--IT, Lawyers, non-exempt employees, but struggles with the idea of employee time attendance.
