I liked your point about digging deeper. That’s exactly what BI software such as Bime does.. it helps you see trends and opportunities in your data that you wouldn’t be able to see from a simple top level analysis.

I honestly have trouble understanding almost all of Google's user interfaces including Google Analytics. Nothing Google does ever seems to follow a logical order to me. I like what you said about how you can't talk numbers to non-numbers people. I'm actually an accountant and I know it is very important to be able to speak English with my clients instead of numbers. Thanks for making that point. I hope Google figures that out someday.

Heat maps are a good way to see how users are interacting with your site. If you fix usability issues now, new visitors may find the site easier to use and stick around.

That's a great point. To much data can be overkill at times.

I have been considering ClickTail or Crazy Egg but have been trying to justify the price. For a site that is relatively new, still working on getting traffic, but seeing about roughly 50 visits per day, is it worth it or do you think the heatmap game should wait till there is more traffic available?

And sometimes we dig too deep.

Sometimes the answer is simple and in front of our face but we're too concerned digging deep into the analytics. Can't forget about the simple things.

Thanks for your great post. Web analytics play a major role in the optimization of your online presence; however, if you’re like most small business owners, you probably have only a vague understanding of analytics.

It is extremely vital to track all angles of traffic and especially pinpoint your advertising cost to sale action. Otherwise your throwing money into the wind and hoping it multiplies into sales which usually doesn't happen.
