Image
           This week ill be closing out this blog post. I have learned so much in this course that requires me to blog weekly. It has given me a chance to learn about the introduction of web analytics. I have earned a google analytics certificate with a chance to use and explore Google Analytics and hopefully I can use it in the future with Adwords and other similar programs that give me important information on traffic on the internet and other data that is important to observe through Google Analytics. I have applied to various jobs last week as I mentioned in my previous blog that I hopefully will get called soon. I have been using YouTube primarily with the use of these tools. I do not get much data but something is better than nothing. I would have to figure out a way to attract traffic to my channel. I am looking forward to graduating in the spring as completing a stepping stone in my life. It has been a great semester and I am looking forward to...

               This week is a pretty interesting week. I took my google analytics exam couple weeks ago and I passed. I watched the YouTube video that Todd Kelsey posted on YouTube as he was a headline speaker for NYC AI Summit. I had no clue what this event was about so I did some investigating. In his YouTube video he mentions one should learn new things and adapt to the new of the future. AI is the future of things for business. One must be aware of this technology change and should adapt to this technology change. It will difficult but will open up doors for one in the future. It brings more opportunities for one.

AI is Artificial intelligence. It’s a new way for the future that will create things way easier for one. It’s another way of thinking to secure an...

These skills are important since you can provide your skills to a employer in exchange for money. There are different ways one can use there analytics skills to make money out of it.

The book I am about to introduce is about a professor I am currently taking his course that introduced me to is called  Surfing the Tsunami: An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence  by Todd Kelsey. The book throws an introduction on what the chapters are about in each chapter.

Artificial intelligence is a new innovation that is started by introducing robots how to do stuff like humans. In this case the video that was presented in the book a link will be posted at the bottom of this blog post.      ...

Week #11 Referral Spam

Spam is annoying in whatever form it comes in if its a phone call or email. One can get spam visitors on ones websites. This is usually something called a bot that is programmed to surf the internet and potentially spread malware and viruses.In Google Analytics one can check this spam out by seeing the links that are clicking on ones websites. The host name is usually the way one can analyze this spam and try to block it. One can block this spam that is coming through ones traffic. It might not be much importance but it can make a difference in when analyzing data that is accurate. The people who send this data are bots. These bots are programmed and no human controls them as monitoring them 24/7. Ghosts will pop up in ones data. This is important so one can exclude all traffic from ones GA reporting view where the browser size is as “not set” or the other way to block these ghosts is only allow the traffic to be recorded to the GA reporting view where host name is your domain name. Th...

Week #10 More on Trending

Image
            Data trends are pretty important since if one can figure out what happens often then it can be easier to predict what will happen next and what is needed to improve this data. We mostly are looking into sales growth but other factors like performance of marketing channel, traffic source, campaign and metric are important data to look into it. Once we spot the trends and patterns one can make predictions. This usually happens in a business where we see trends like this. One way is that the month of February can be the about the same as the month of February the year before. If you add a epidemic numbers will fluctuate and make sales either go down mostly or up depending on the business.          There are 10 ways to see Data Trends. The first is always question how data is collected. The second is understand that historical data is in fact “dated”. The third is select the right time period to analyze your trends of d...

This can be used to create viewers to help reach a higher value of customers to bring in people for products or services. Products and Services are advertised everywhere on the internet. This is important since one is trying to bring the most audience to ones page. Analytics brings information to make one investigate where they are coming from in the world or how long they are spending on a webpage. One can track from where they are coming from the site if they are just entering the url on the address bar or they are simply clicking an ad or even using a search engine.
