Ditch the expensive subscription and instead hire a dedicated person to analyze the data.

Avinash suggests a 6-part recovery plan for those of you blowing money on Ominiture, WebTrends, HBX etc.

Steps include ditching your high-cost analytics and instead getting a free Google Analytics account. Then?

...Cancel the contract with your favorite expensive analytics vendor and take that $50k or $100k or $200k and: 1) Hire a smart analyst for between $50k to whatever maybe your areas great salary 2) Put the rest of the money in your pocket.

Sound advice. We install GA for all of our clients, and it's the first place we examine when trying to determine the success of a campaign.
