Web Site Measurement Hacks Book Review
Tips and Tools to Help Optimize Your Online Business- Author:
- My rating: 5/5
- Brief Review: I haven't been a fan of all Eric Petersen's books - some of the others are a mass of metrics. The O'Reilly Hacks format works well with 100 hacks about selecting a web analytics tool and using the right metrics to improve results. It is strongest for its explanations about how to tag pages for different online marketing approaches like Paid and Natural Search, Online advertising, Affiliate Marketing, E-mail Marketing, and accuracy issues around cookies.

Call-to-action Book Review
Secret Formulas to Improve Online Results- Authors: Bryan and Geoffrey Eisenberg
- My rating: 5/5
- Brief Review: "Call-to-action" is a great practical book relevant to anyone managing a web site aimed at generating sales or leads. I recommend it for the detailed practical tips on increasing conversion rates of site visit to outcome. It's structure is a bit idiosyncratic, but that makes it engaging.

Web Metrics Book Review
Proven Methods for Measuring Web Site Success- Author: Jim Sterne
- My rating: 3/5 Originally a 5, but now superseded.
- Brief Review: The original classic on Web Metrics. An entertaining book with lots of insights to improve e-marketing performance. Less structured and in-depth than Petersen's book.
