Export GA reports into Google docs with just one click
June 20, 2008 – 4:30 pmReading the Blog Spanish Gringo (great name) from Micheal Freeman I fount a very interesting tip for Google Analytics. With your current Google Analytics version if you want to export a report to Excel you have to click on "export --> CSV". If you do so, you will probably face a problem trying to import the CSV to Excel (you can, but it looks weird). So Micheal got the answer on "Greasemonkey" and now you can export your report into a spreadsheet directly to Google Docs with just one click. Sounds great uh, I guess it is. Installation 1- Install Greasemonkey and Firefox 2 or a later version (I have Firefox 3 and works great). Once you install Greasemonkey you will see the icon at the bottom right of your Firefox. 2- After than you will need to download and install the user script. 3- Then you need to login into your Google Analytics ...

GAAC training in Buenos Aires
June 6, 2008 – 11:09 amYesterday (thursday 5th of June) was the first GAAC (Google Analytics Authorized Consultant) training in Buenos Aires. The event was planned by the untiring Enrique Quevedo. Enrique, who was also the speaker, has the non-minor task of developing the product through the Latam Region. The training lasted two days, the first day was focused on Business while the second was 100% technical. The training went from general to specific topics, and was both technical and pragmatic making very simple to incorporate pretty difficult concepts. Congratulations Enrique, Great initiative!!! Enrique is at my right (I'm with the unforgetable "tag my ass" t-shirt), and behind Enrique is Carolina from Intellignos.
From ignorance to full control in only 7 steps
May 28, 2008 – 3:24 pmI am still laughing after writing this title, mainly because I don’t believe in "gurus" and their magic formulas. This post aims to give some tips that although they are generic and should always be contextualized, with these precautions can be very useful, indeed they are for me. What do I mean with “from ignorance to full control in only 7 steps”?. I’m talking about the process that begins with a non-measured website to (and as Robert Kaplan said, if you can’t measure it you can’t manage it) and finishes with a full set of indicators that allows you to an efficient management of your online businesses. Here we go with the following 6 steps (disbelieve in Gurus and magic formulas, including this one, are the first step to a successful project): 1- Understand your project: This seems pretty simple however which usually happens is that we have the idea in mind and ...

Yahoo! Indextools represent the end of paid solutions?
April 17, 2008 – 11:06 amSome posts ago, I wrote a post called “Since Gatineau nothing will ever be the same” because Gatineau was the first competitor, a real one, that Google Analytics has as the top free Player. I was sure that the competition among free tools would be the base of a new age in analytics, the age where the most flexible and powerful tools reduce their price and become “smarter”. Now Yahoo! accelerated the process, because a Flexible and smart tool as Indextools is going to be provided free of charge. So we don’t have two Analytics tools markets, but just one…for free. The economy theory says that as close the substitute products are as important the variable price become. I mean, if you have two identical products, why should you pay more money for one of them?. Now lets leave the books aside for a moment because in the real world there are ...
