What good is an intricate Web infrastructure if you’re unable to measure its effectiveness? That’s why every business is desperate for feedback on their site’s visitors: Who are they? Why do they visit? What information or service is most valuable to them? Unfortunately, most common Web analytics software applications are long on functionality and short on documentation.
