—Seth Godin, author, Tribes

"Lots of companies have spent lots of time and money collecting data—and sadly do little with it. In Web Analytics 2.0, Avinash Kaushik helps us grasp the importance of this underused resource and shows us how to make the most of online data and experimentation."
—Dan Ariely, Professor of Behavioral Economics, Duke University, and author of Predictably Irrational

"Kaushik takes the witchcraft out of analytics. If venture capitalists read this book, they would fire half of the CEOs that they've funded."
—Guy Kawasaki, Co-founder of Alltop Et Garage Technology Ventures
