Forget Analytics, what about “brand awareness”, “message saliency” and “likelihood to purchase”.
For an FMCG advertiser the web brings a host of challenges and digital marketers need to deliver analysis beyond the standard analytics feedback with measures that marketing managers are familiar with. This recent campaign for Velvet Toilet Tissue has examined the true brand effects of online video & rich media in the Irish market. Irish digital agency, Bark, has shown that using a combination of online video & display advertising in isolation leads to a dramatic uplift in brand awareness, message saliency and likelihood to purchase.

How about your website? Have you done any analysis on performance and have you made some improvements? How many of you have not looked at your website traffic and done some investigation work? Here are some tips that will help you improve the performance of your website. 1. Use a good analytics tool such as Google Analytics or Statcounter. 2. Set up your analytics tool to deliver you a daily reports showing a summary of the traffic on your website. How many people came to your website, what’s the difference over yesterday, what sites did they come from, what keywords did they use. This is all valuable and interesting information. 3. At the end of each week fill out an excel spreadsheet that monitors the vital signs of your website. What’s the traffic compared to last week, are you getting more leads or less leads? If you were running a shop would you keep an eye on how many people came in during the week? How many people left happy? What was their average spend? Consider your website is your shop, what are you going to monitor. 4. Read a couple of good books or follow a couple of good bloggers on analytics. You can follow Google’s analytics blog to find out all the latest changes or follow Avinash Kaushik for the advanced user! 5. Check out your bounce rate. A bounce rate measure lets you know what percentage of people came to a page on your site and left before going to another page. If you’ve got a high bounce rate on a page you need to check if this page needs to be updated and improved. @seamusbyrne sent out a link to-day about an article with more detials on bounce rate. 6. Check out the average time people are spending on your site. If they are not spending long on your site is your content not that good? How about improving it, making it more interesting and engaging would that help? 7. While you’re at it you should also check to see how quick your website is. Use websiteoptimization.com which is a free tool. If your site is very slow nobody is going to stay around too long! Have you any tips to add?

Google currently employs about 1,600 people at the Google offices in Dublin. Now, according to reports in the newspapers over the weekend, the internet giant is creating a further 200 jobs in Dublin, with a new investment in a shared services that will bring its workforce in Ireland about 1,800 people. The plan is one of several major jobs projects in the pipeline. IDA Ireland is set to make three other jobs announcements - one in financial services and two in internet-related firms - in the next two weeks. O’Leary said that companies were being attracted to invest in Ireland again because the country’s competitiveness was improving, with cuts in wages and other costs. The number of site visits by firms interested in investing was up by 50 per cent in the first quarter of the year, and is back to levels not seen since 2007, according to the IDA boss. He said that Ireland’s international reputation was ‘‘under a lot of pressure’’ last year, but he was now more optimistic about multinational investment as overseas economies recovered. He said Ireland could benefit from growth in particular sectors, such as IT. Projects that will create more than 500 jobs in financial services have also been agreed by the IDA, The Sunday Business Post understands. Informed sources said that an average of one project a week was being approved in the financial sector by the state agency. What is Google TV?
According to a live blog from the event on I4U, the system will take the form of an Internet-connected set-top box - with future version possibly being integrated directly into TVs - running Google's Android platform and include a Chrome-based web browser and full support for Flash 10.1. The principle is that Google TV will allow access to Internet-based content - including streaming video and web searches - without tearing you away from your normal TV viewing. By overlaying the information on top of whatever is currently playing back, it's possible to perform a quick search without stopping watching your favourite programme. Interestingly, the Google TV boxes will also feature video recording functionality: searching for a programme or channel name will bring up scheduling information, and a 'Record' option will be available for each programme. One thing that I4U did report on was that the early build boxes used to demonstrate Google TV were somewhat flaky: cries of "can we switch to the other box" were frequently heard as the demo units become unresponsive during the live demo - not the most auspicious of starts for the new technology. The company will not be producing the set-top boxes for Google TV itself, but is instead partnering with several manufacturers - including Sony and Logitech, which TweakTown reports will be producing both a set-top box and a companion controller featuring a keyboard, remote control, and touchpad in a single compact device. As with many of Google's products, there is one clear thrust to Google TV: advertising. According to GigaOM, Google's Eric Schmidt sees Google TV as providing a platform to get Google's advertising in front of more eyes than ever before, stating "we can do even more relevant television advertising [with Google TV], which should be worth a lot of money." If you're curious as to what the Google TV user interface is going to look like, early images have been posted over at BusinessInsider. This isn't the first time a company has attempted to combine the largely passive world of TV watching with the interactive world of the Internet - CNet has a run-down of previous attempts, and TVs from several manufacturers are starting to appear with in-built Internet access features - but with Google's backing it could well be the first to succeed.

Analyze this was a great movie with Robert De Niro playing one of his funniest roles. The movie was called Analyse because of Robert De Niro’s shrink that had to analyze and sort out his problems. If you watched the movie you’ll see that that didn’t really happen.
