Tracking Outbound / Affiliate Links with getClicky
I use Clicky for most of my day-to-day tracking and analysis, only using Google Analytics for the harder analyses. One of the things Clicky can do most wonderfully is track outbound clicks. There’s an issue however when you start routing your affiliate links through a script or on-site redirect. I redirect mine through /out/ here [...]
Clicky Analytics (getClicky) Review: clean, simple, effective
In my post last week about social buttons, I included code samples for Clicky Analytics. I got some emails asking me why I use Clicky and Google Analytics alongside each other. In this review I want to show you some of the cool features I use from Clicky Analytics (aka getClicky) that make me use [...]
Social Buttons: Adding them to your site & Tracking them
I’ve had a lot of questions recently (like literally, several a day) on how I implemented the social buttons in WordPress, whether I was using a plugin or using a theme. First of all I’m glad to see all of you noticing my social buttons section so much. Second, I’d love to share with you [...]
Comment Tracking in Clicky
So one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is use an Analytics tools API to enrich the data about a visit. Clicky is one of the few tools out there that have a well detailed API that allows you to push in extra data during the visit. The extra data bit I really [...]
Clicky Tracking for WordPress
The guys at Clicky recently wrote a post asking someone to re-develop their WordPress plugin. Since I have quite a bit of code lying around for what they needed, I emailed them and told them I’d be happy to build it. If you don’t know Clicky, you really should check it out, it’s a pretty [...]
SEO Ranking Data: Tracking Passively and Actively
People ask me at times whether I talk about SEO ranking data with my clients and/or monitor it for them. In almost all cases I do monitor it, in some cases, we talk about them, in a lot of cases we don’t, as it’s just not that reliable of a metric. On the other hand, with [...]
Tools To Improve Your Online Marketing Campaign
I recently gave a presentation at the Bol.com partner event about tools I use every day for my online marketing campaigns and site analyses, and I thought it’d be cool to share them with you in a post as well, even though for some of you this list might be a bit basic. Google Analytics [...]
Event tracking, bounce rate and affiliate marketing
Apparently, the way event tracking tracking works in Analytics, and how it impacts bounce rate, is still not understood as widely as I expected it to be, and I’m not the only one to think that. So let me explain to you how bounce rate is influenced by (properly set up) event tracking, and how to [...]
TwitterCounter: the API and the Mint Pepper
As you know I’m a big fan of TwitterCounter, and Boris, its creator and founder is one of the few Dutch entrepreneurs I’m actually a fan of, as he really seems to get the “new” web. I emailed him last week, asking why TwitterCounter didn’t have an API, and we started talking about what an [...]
GreaseMonkey statistics detector
A while ago I started developing a Greasemonkey script to detect if people where using Mint on their site. This shortly after evolved in to a package which detected any javascript-based statistics packages I came across, and even gave links to the statistics of those websites using them if they were openly available. => Install [...]
