It’s often been said that fifty percent of your marketing efforts are wasted. The problem is that you never know which fifty percent it is. But one of the great things about doing business in the digital age is that everything can now be measured.

With the right web analytics system in place, you can accurately track user activity in order to refine the tactics that work while cutting out the tactics that don’t. And once in a while, you may discover a buying pattern or motive that you never would have otherwise found.
