"Relationship marketing continues to evolve in new and exciting ways, and Actionable Web Analytics provides a clear and concise guidebook for the marketing executive. Shane and Jason have captured the essence of creating relationships online, which lead to meaningful customer dialogues, and then measuring the success of those efforts."
—Lester Wunderman, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Wunderman

"We have been fortunate enough during the past decade to see our business grow in parallel with and in partnership with the team at ZAAZ. As true thought leaders in the web analytics and marketing space, Jason and Shane have captured the important issues facing marketers and business people every day and explained them eloquently in Actionable Web Analytics."
Josh James, CEO & Co-Founder, Omniture

"Some people build web analytics tools. Some work tirelessly, deep in the hearts of their organizations drawing the rich value out of those tools. And then, there are those like Shane and Jason who have spent close to a decade helping a wide variety of companies optimize their advertising spend, supersize their website value, and maximize their online marketing ROI. These guys are in an amazing position to help you figure out all of the above. But that’s just the half of it. While their position is nice, their scary IQ, their awesome curiosity, and their uncanny ability to drill down to bona fide business value make this book a must read."
—Jim Sterne, President, Web Analytics Association and Producer, Emetrics Summit

"The real money is made when the initial click leads to a customer journey filled with meaningful, relevant dialogues that motivate action. Actionable Web Analytics helps marketers take customers on that journey and generate a good ROI doing it."
—Daniel Morel, Chairman & CEO, Wunderman

"These guys have forgotten more about analytics than we mortals will likely ever understand. Most analytics folks revel in the complexity of their work. Jason and Shane know how to simplify and communicate how analytics can really change marketing, and it is incredibly effective."
—Matthew Roche, CEO, Offermatica

"If you’re one of the many people who view web analytics as a necessary evil, this book will spin your perception 180 degrees. That Jason and Shane know web analytics backward and forward (not to mention upside-down and inside-out) is a well-known fact. But these two possess another singular talent: the ability to make analytics palatable, understandable, even digestible for even the most data- and math-adverse right-brain thinker you know (perhaps you’re that person?). These two go way beyond the numbers. They can explain with crystal clarity how to use data to improve processes, businesses, and their bottom lines."
—Rebecca Lieb, Editor-in-Chief, The ClickZ Network

"Digital Marketing excellence is paramount for today’s marketers. In this book, Jason and Shane provide straightforward web analytics insight and instruction to help marketers achieve greater performance and profit from their communications activities."
—Scott Lennard, Advertising Director – Central Marketing Group, Microsoft Corporation

"Jason and Shane have been sharing their extensive experience and insight with clients and through conferences for a while, so it’s about time they committed it to print."
—Laurent Burman, VP Web, Helio

"Jason Burby and Shane Atchison are two guys in the web analytics world that truly understand what success looks like. They wisely took much of what I wrote about in The Big Book of Key Performance Indicators and attached a dollar-sign to it, dramatically improving their client's desire to understand and deploy KPIs. I have little doubt that Actionable Web Analytics: Using Data to Make Smart Business Decisions will long be considered a critical work in the web analytics body of knowledge."
—Eric T. Peterson, author, Web Analytics Demystified, Web Site Measurement Hacks and The Big Book of Key Performance Indicators.

"I have been waiting for a book like this. They’ve helped me understand some of the finer points in web analytics and taught me how I can put those concepts into action with my team. What I like best about working with them is that their knowledge goes beyond finding the data and pulling the numbers—they know how important it is to tell the story behind that data."
—Kristen Findley, Manager, Website Analytics Interactive Marketing, Ameriprise Financial
