Each quarter, we release a ranking of the most responsive industries on Facebook, so that you can benchmark your level of customer care against the market standards. Check out the latest results for Q2!

Mejorar la vinculación de cuentas de Analytics y AdWords

Central de ConversionesEl Blog oficial de las herramientas de medición de Google

Hoy estamos felices de anunciar algunas mejoras útiles que facilitan que los dueños de las cuentas de Google Analytics y AdWords vinculen sus cuentas.

Estos son unos beneficios específicos de combinar los datos de AdWords y Analytics:

Importar los objetivos de Analytics y las transacciones a AdWords permite a los comercializadores definir el éxito de maneras poderosas, a menudo sin tener que volver a etiquetar tu sitio
Las estadísticas de actividad del sitio ayuda a los comercializadores a entender mejor el rendimiento del marketing y de qué manera optimizar
El remarketing con Google Analytics permite a los comercializadores llegar a nuevas audiencias
Importar datos de AdWords a Analytics permite a los comercializadores ver datos en muchas cuentas en conjunto y combinados con métricas enriquecidas del sitio

Todas estas características dependen de la vinculación de las cuentas de AdWords y Analytics, y este proceso es más fácil que antes. Anteriormente, vincular las cuentas implicaba varios pasos en muchas páginas dispersas entre dos productos, y este proceso ahora se ha consolidado en unos cuantos pasos en un asistente de vinculación.

Una vez que el nuevo proceso de vinculación se lance en todas las cuentas de Analytics en las semanas venideras, podrás crear vínculos adicionales desde la sección de Administración de tu cuenta de Analytics. (Si iniciaste sesión en tu cuenta de AdWords, también puedes vincular las cuentas al ir a Tools and Analysis > Google Analytics [Herramientas y análisis > Google Analytics] y seguir estas mismas instrucciones). Solo haz clic en AdWords Linking (Vinculación de AdWords) en la columna Account (Cuenta) y luego haz clic en el botón New link (Vínculo nuevo) para iniciar el asistente de vinculación.

What People Do on Your Site and Why – thnkz to @TheGrok

http://www.bryaneisenberg.com/

In the most general scheme of categorization, we’ve learned that each of the millions of different personalities falls into one of four main groups, which my brother and I labeled in 2001 in our book “Persuasive Online Copywriting” as Driver, Amiable, Expressive, and Analytical, and later renamed them to:

Competitive. Fast-paced decision-making, logically oriented
Spontaneous. Fast-paced decision-making, emotionally oriented
Humanistic. Slow-paced decision-making, emotionally oriented
Methodical. Slow-paced decision-making, logically oriented

It doesn’t really matter what you call them. The thing is, you need to become intimately acquainted with these personalities. They are your website’s visitors. And once you know who they are, you have the inside track on how you shape your design and writing to persuade them most effectively.

At the most fundamental level, all people are motivated by a single, critical question: what’s in it for me (WIIFM)? Their dominant personality types strongly influence how they ask that question, perceive value, and consciously – or more typically, subconsciously – approach a decision-making task.

You can certainly see this behavior when you listen to people during usability tests. In fact, check out this video for people searching for “black diamonds.” Listen to their choice of words, how certain things make them feel, and what moves them forward or causes them to stumble.

Usability pundit Jakob Nielsen shared the results of an eye-tracking study he performed in 2007 on the U.S. Census Bureau’s home page. He uses gaze plots to describe four main types of visitor behavior: “search-dominant,” “navigation-dominant,” “tool-dominant,” and “successful.” If you were to look at these four types of behavior through the lens of the personality types you would naturally see beyond what people gazed at and clicked on, and into why they acted the way they did. It’s a natural preference.
