Thanks a lot Sir. Just went through your post and whole of your blog. Would love to meet you and spend 5 minutes with you talking about analytics. Truly you are a genius Sir. Thank god that I stumbled upon this interview and just thought that will post a question but was not sure it’ll be answered. Thanks once again.

Naman: Some ideas….

1. It is very hard to answer this question without knowing enough about the site. For me improvement starts with understanding the company’s intent for the page and the customer’s intent (as identified by say referring search keywords) from that page. If you solve for what the customer wants, bounce rates go down.

2. Here is a blog post I had written about Seven Skills to look for in a WA Manager: http://sn.im/wamgr

Hope this helps.

Sir,

I have just got into analytics and finished reading your book recently. This intervew has given me an opportunity to ask you. Thanks in advance for the answers.

1. How do we improve ‘Bounce Rate’ effectively?

2. What are the key skills for a successful Web Analytics Manager? Which are the skills I need to fine tune myself in?

Thanks a lot once again Blogadda for providing me this wonderful opportunity. I recommend your book to everyone who wants to understand Analytics.

Very informative interview. The urge to share and give back is indeed a driver found in most of the bloggers i’ve known. Congratulations to Blogadda for featuring such leading bloggers!

I remember that conversation with Avinash. Having just watched this ball of energy give a great presentation, I just knew his personality would make any blog a huge success! I think even I underestimated just how big of a hit Avinash would be!

Its really astonishing that within 3-4 blogging he has moved to such a great level. Though i have read only some of his articles i find them very encouraging and interesting. I feel like every article written by him has great insights and includes his personal experiments along with some meaningful and thoughtful use of pictures to explain the respective article even wonderful. Truly an Analytics Genius he is.

I feel like now even i need to take blogging serious from now ;). Ahh let me start that after a peek into this post “Ten More Blogging Tips From A Novice Blogger” 😀
