Working in the Silicon Valley definitely has its advantages even though it sometimes takes a toll on you :) . Search Marketing and Analytics conferences take place right in our backyard and we need to be there (we really don’t have to, but we like to!).

In the last two weeks, we had back-to-back conferences and it was great to meet friends and learn and share experiences with the brightest minds in the industry. We participated in SMX West and had a one-day Google Analytics workshop in San Jose. We then participated in eMetrics (and the Web Analytics Association Gala dinner) and co-sponsored and spoke at the first Google Analytics User Conference GAUGE 2011 in San Francisco, (and somehow still managed to get client work done!).

I wan to specially thank the workshop attendees at both SMX West and GAUGE for their commitment and investment in learning Google Analytics and the great questions and discussions we had. I promised to provide a list with a number of useful posts and help topics, so here it is. Enjoy! :)

Thank you again for participation and attending the training sessions and I hope to see you soon!

E-Nor’s Google Analytics workshop will take place on Friday 3/11. It’s not too late to register for SMX West or the Workshop (or both), and yes, I do have a $100 promo code for all of you last minute folks :) . The promo code is smx100feras, feel free to use it and pass it along to your friends and colleagues.

Take a look at the workshop agenda and drop me a comment or an email if you have any other questions.

The morning session is marketing/business focused and the afternoon is more tailored to webmasters and techies. Analytics sits in between IT and Marketing, and to do it right, you really need to be aware of what’s involved in both aspects.

And rest assured that your questions will be answered. Even if we didn’t have time to cover a specific topic in-depth during the day, myself and one of our senior analysts will be available during the breaks and after the seminar for Q&A and hands-on review of your GA account and any data/analysis questions that you might have.

Register today and save $100 with this promo code (smx100feras).

I look forward to seeing you at the seminar!

Thanks,
Feras

It’s March 1st already, my goodness, I am already so behind on things I want to do in the first quarter! And this week it’s going to be busier since I’ll be attending & presenting at SMX West. But it’s worth every bit of it. The folks at SMX have assembled a great line up of speakers on all-things search (and yes, some analytics too).

For those of you attending SMX West, I’d love to meet and catch up. In addition to attending and taking notes at the various sessions, here is where I’ll definitely be networking or speaking: :)

  • Monday 3/1, 6pm-7:30pm: Meet & Greet reception
  • Tuesday 3/2, 5:45pm-7:00pm: Expo Hall Reception
  • Thursday 3/4, 11:30am-12:30pm: Measuring How Search Ads Drive Offline Conversions – Q&A Moderator
  • Thursday 3/4, 12:30pm-1:30pm: Birds-of-a-Feather Analytics Table (lunch)
  • Thursday 3/4, 1:30pm-2:30pm: Analytics Action Plans For PPC & SEO – Q&A Moderator
  • Thursday 3/4, 2:45pm-3:45pm: Conversion Ninja Toolbox – A Review of Tools & Technologies – Speaker
  • Friday 3/5, 9am-5pm: Google Analytics Workshop – Presenter

To our clients: many of us at E-Nor will also participate in parts of the conference and we plan to absorb as much as we can, pick some golden nuggets here and there and take it all back and continue to enhance our processes and add more value for our clients.

Thanks,
Feras

You probably have seen the earlier post on the Google Analytics Workshop that Dr. Brian Clifton and I are holding at SMX West on March 5, here in Santa Clara. The early registration ends this Saturday, so if you are planning on attending the workshop, take advantage of the 10% discount and sign up by this Saturday 1/30/2010, the discount code is GA@SMX.

In addition to the GA workshop, I’ll be speaking at the Conversion Ninja Toolbox – A Review of Tools & Technologies session on Thursday March 4, 2:45-3:45pm. Stop by and say hi! I’m certain you’ll pick up a tip or two on improving conversation rates, sales & profits. The session will also cover ideas on what to test and practical information on available tools and technologies.

The session will be moderated by Chris Sherman, the Executive Editor of Search Engine Land and the co-panelists are:

  • Tim Ash, CEO, SiteTuners.com
  • Patrick Bennett, Co-Founder, BLVD Status
  • Nicholas Ward, Product Manager, Range Online Media
  • Feras Alhlou, President, e-nor.com

I’ll be focusing on the Google Website Optimizer (GWO) and how website owners should use A/B and Multivariate testing to find site bottlenecks and improve the performance of marketing campaigns by adopting a testing methodology. I am hoping that your takeaways will include:

  1. Benefits of Testing and Google Website Optimizer – Free but powerful!
  2. Features – what should you test?
  3. Advanced Testing Strategies with GWO
  4. Testing Best Practices
  5. Sample Reports & Results

I look forward to seeing you at SMX West. Meanwhile, if you have a question, a comment or a suggestion, feel free to leave a comment or email me at feras @e-nor.com

I am speaking at SMX West

Thanks,
Feras
