Completely agree. I measure EVERYTHING. The old cliche of “I know 50% of my marketing works, just not necessarily which 50%” doesn’t exist any more. No excuse in 2010 not to track.

I’m an obsessive tracker by nature and I love to know how I’m doing and where I can be most effective. There are so many tools out there to choose from, but I totally agree that doing more of what works is the absolute key to success.

Very true Dawud. I’m guilty of analysing things too much if anything – it’s very easy to drown in statistics!

Dawud, Cheryl and Chris above, I completely agree! It’s incredible to think that many folks running their own enterprise or whom are self employed don’t really have a clue how to plan, measure and budget for their business. Running an online business is arguably even harder, as competition is rife and popularity is everything.

Perfect! If you’re not measuring, how do you improve what’s not working? You don’t because you don’t know what’s working and what isn’t working.

I am definately one of those people that dont track there business at all. Started about 6 months ago and in the beginning I tracked everything but over time I became really sloppy.

Thanks for the wake up call!

I agree analytic is a must in every business site. It is a good practice to keep details about your business for future references and strategy.

Hey There,

I agree as well that this is a huge item that needs to be measured better. How could any business owner know the true potential without this data.

Thanks,

Bingo! Although it’s very easy to become obsessed with analysing results – every now and then I have to stop myself and avoid micro-managing everything.
