I'm currently a webmaster at a small, family-owned company that has a huge name in the sports industry. Because of our size, I am responsible for development,...
I've been measuring the performance of web sites since 1999. The site I'm currently working with is primary brand focused with little focus on e-commerce. I'm...

For most business you want to hire someone who is focussed on understanding and applying the analytics/information commercially/strategically, that you receive...
Hello all, I both agree and disagree with Jon. "Analyst" does indeed conjure up a pointy head in the corner, yet this job really does require "analysis." I...
This is a fascinating discussion, because over the weekend I was trying to think of the ultimate preparation for a web analyst. My first choice was a MS in...
Hello, I am relatively new in the web analytics field, but from my personal experience this past year, I would say that there aren't a whole lot of people in...
FYI - I have been working in web analytics for 4 years. I knew I wanted to get into the web analytics arena. I sought out this company as being one of few...
Hey, all, Well, glad to see my original job post has stirred up some interesting discussions here! But I'm still waiting for the huge influx of resumes.... ...
Frankly, I think you are "barking up the wrong tree" in the current marketplace because the web analyst is being viewed as someone who is taking technical...
Hello David, I definitely agree with you in "home-growing" your talent. Since this is a new field, the best way to grow future employees, for all companies,...
Well, for what's it's worth, I have an MS in "Human Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology", which is about as obscure as it sounds. At the end of the day though, it...

Eric, you are not alone. My degrees were in biochemistry/chemistry and here I am, in the wonderful world of web analytics. It¹s all problem solving anyway,...
I think we're all on the same track in terms of what the position requires, generally speaking. All would agree that you need to understand statistics/math and...
One additional point I would add - for those of us with zoology degrees :), it really helps not to have to go through the HR filter before we get to the hiring...
