			<title>Analytics Resources</title>
			<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/penworks/activate/~3/gYvvsNg0AZQ/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Understanding Web Analytics can be complicated and difficult. How they may impact on marketing strategies, whether to trust the data you&amp;#8217;re looking at, and how to interpret data in terms of how it may influence your website content are all common questions for businesses and freelancers. It&amp;#8217;s a long road of discovery, and the best way to find things out is to try them, and learn as you go along. Having said that, there are plenty of sources of information and help out there, and Ive listed a few below, to get you started.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activate.penworks.net/attachs/web-analytics-made-easy-for-marketers-chapter-6.pdf"&gt;Nixon McInnes free E-chapter on web analytics and marketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activate.penworks.net/attachs/how-do-i-set-up-goals.pdf"&gt;Google guide to goal conversion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.webtrends.com/Education/Glossary.aspx"&gt;Web Trends Analytics Glossary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activate.penworks.net/attachs/bounce-rate-wikipedia.pdf"&gt;Bounce Rate definition [Wikipedia]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activate.penworks.net/attachs/web-analytics-wikipedia.pdf"&gt;Web Analytics Overview [Wikipedia]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;Applications looked at in the Seminar:&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Google Analytics&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Google Ad Planner&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Google Trends&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Facebook Insights&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Campaign Monitor Analytics&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/penworks/activate/~4/gYvvsNg0AZQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;4. Analytics:&lt;/p&gt;
