By Marisa Peacock  ::  Filed Under » Web CMS

It’s a rare organization that does not track at least a minimum set of web analytics for their customer facing websites. The problem is rarely that there’s no data. Rather it’s what to do with that information once you have it in your hands. More often than not, it’s under utilized and probably finds it’s home in that virtual pile on your desktop.

It doesn’t have to be that way. There’s an upcoming Webinar co-hosted by Bridgeline Software and the Gilbane Group that will show you how to better use your analytics data to make decisions and improve the customer experience, and in the end improve your bottom line.

Gilbane Conference,Google

For those attending the upcoming Gilbane conference who are more on the geeky side of the spectrum, get stoked: Udi Manber, a Google Vice President of Engineering, will start off the annual San Francisco conference on June 18th at 8:30am with a discussion on Google’s search quality and continued innovation.

While Google’s success is generally thought of as being a result of their use of link activity and PageRank to supplement keyword search, this is in fact just one of many signals that help provide users with most relevant results. Udi Manber will share valuable info on improving search that should be relevant to everyone in the tech industry.

“Udi Manber is the engineering vice president in charge of this ongoing, and necessarily secret effort (on improving searches). What Udi is able to share about improving search will be interesting to all, but especially valuable to knowledge workers whose need for quality search is critical,” said Gilbane Group CEO Frank Gilbane.

The Gilbane Conference, now in its fourth year, has gained a reputation as a forum for bringing together vendor-neutral industry pros that share and debate the latest information technology experiences, research, trends and insights. Topics to be covered in depth will include enterprise search, text analytics and content globalization and location.

Details on the Google keynote session as well as other keynotes and conference breakout sessions can be found here.

OReilly Events, High Performance Websites event with Steve Souders

Spend forty-five minutes with Steve Souders and you too can have Even Faster Web Sites. That’s the plan anyway.

O’Reilly Media presents a free webcast with the author of High Performance Web Sites and former Chief Performance Yahoo!, Steve Souders.

The book High Performance Web Sites is based around the 14 most important rules that Souder discovered during his research and work on site optimization. If these rules are followed, he claims they can chip 25 to 50 percent off the response time when users request a page. Souder’s techniques have improved the functionality of such sites as Yahoo! Search and Yahoo! Front Page.

Now at Google, Souders has been busy working on a new set of best practices to make web sites zoom, zoom fast. Benefiting from his extensive background in web performance, participants will learn about the Performance Golden Rule, review his performance best practices and watch how YSlow, the performance analysis extension to Firebug, analyzes the top web sites in the world.

Joined by Andy Oram, author, blogger, and senior editor for O’Reilly Media, the webcast is sure to lend a hand in helping attendees harnessing the efficiency of their web sites.

The webcast is scheduled for Thursday, April 24 at 10 a.m. PST. Register today!
