Time for another Web Analytics Wednesday! July 20th the Burlington Web Analytics Wednesday will be a presentation of data generated during last month’s Burlington Social Media Day.

Lara Dickson, BTVSMD Super Organizer, will show some of the data gathered and the audience will work together to come up with some meaning, ideas and possible actions to take to make the next one even better.

So come get your geek on at Web Analytics Wednesday! As always: bring your friends, bring your boss, bring your clients.

• When: July 20th, 6pm-8ishpm

• Where: Office Squared on Main Street Burlington VT

• Official WAW site

Our usual format: Hang out starts at 6pm. Presentation starts right at 6:30pm and goes about a half hour or so. Then we resume hanging out. Easy. Fun. Summer.

If you want your data aggregated into the census, please fill out the form below. In addition to helping to generate a clearer picture of online activity in Chittenden County, you will receive a custom Google Analytics dashboard that is focused on local traffic. You will like it very very much.

Gahlord will be looking at a variety of online customer factors including social media traffic generated, mobile device usage and content engagement.

Whether you attend the event or not, you’ll get a copy of the report he makes from the data.

In many ways, the digital layer of Burlington community is just a natural extension of the strong community networks that exist in the non-digital life of Burlington–music, agriculture and independent business community networks are exceptionally strong in Burlington as well.

Gahlord and Thoughtfaucet are psyched to be a part of all this.

Our journey at Burton with Web Analytics: How the position started and how it has changed in the past two years. The challenges I have faced and the tools I use etc.

Gahlord Dewald and Justin Cutroni will be having a conversation about web analytics this Thursday May 5 at 1pm Eastern. Who knows what exactly they’ll cover, but if you want to learn more about your online audience, chances are good you’ll get something useful from listening in on their conversation.

This is bound to be a pretty popular session and spaces are limited.

Register to listen in on Gahlord and Justin as they talk about web analytics and other geeky fun stuff.

Gahlord Dewald says “When people ask me how I learn about Google Analytics I usually just say something like ‘Oh I read a blog post now and then.’ But that’s a lie. I don’t read a blog post now and then. I ask Justin Cutroni.”

Justin Cutroni is the director of digital intelligence for Cardinal Path and is also the guy who wrote the Google Analytics book. He’s also incredibly gifted at making analytics accessible and understandable for business owners, marketing wonks and anyone else who worries too much about their bounce rate.
