Measuring Web Site Success Web Conference

For colleges and universities, web sites are more important than ever. Tight budgets force more information and services online, alumni and parents grow increasingly web savvy, and, of course, students of all ages practically live online. Measuring your site's success is tricky business, though - content grows, technologies become more complex, and privacy measures make site traffic analysis a challenge. Join us for a discussion of practical ways to measure the success of your site from a non-technical perspective.

PROGRAM AGENDA
Using real-life examples, your instructors will lead a discussion of how to glean the most usable information (both quantitative and qualitative) about your web site from a variety of sources, including:

-- Web server log files
-- Traffic analysis software
-- Webmaster emails and other email feedback
-- Surveys
-- Your site's search engine
-- Usability studies
-- Focus groups

This web conference will also focus on how to apply this data to ensure that you use your web site to communicate in the most effective way possible. Further, discussion will include:

-- Common myths about web stats
-- Best practices and standards for measuring your site
-- Common pitfalls to avoid
