• Your 6-step guide to increasing acquisition

  2 juillet 2019, par Matomo Core Team — Analytics Tips
  Your 6-step guide to increasing acquisition

  Want to save time and money, as well as increase conversions and acquisition ? Matomo Analytics is here to help with that !

  Let’s start by helping you create a website visitors’ acquisition strategy, without it you might be going in blind and missing opportunities that might’ve been easily found in your metrics.

  To help you craft a strategy for your site, check out the steps below !

  Step one : Get familiar with the Acquisition feature

  The easiest way is to start with Matomo’s Acquisition feature itself. Discover and take action on the marketing channels with the biggest ROI for your business. You’ll learn :

  How to get traffic from external websites : Find out who’s helping you succeed from external websites and convince them to do more of it. Get more traffic by proactively asking for : paid sponsorships ; guest blog posts ; or spending more advertising on the particular website.

  

  About Social Networks : Which social media channels are connecting with the audience you want ? Take the guesswork out by using only the ones you need. By finding out which social channels your ideal audience prefers, you can generate shareable, convincing and engaging content to drive shares and traffic through to your site.

  Campaigns : This helps you understand which marketing campaign is working and which isn’t. You can then shift your efforts to effectively gain more visitors with less costs. Keep track of every ad and content piece you show across internal and external channels to see which has the biggest impact on your business objectives.

  Enhanced SEO : Every acquisition plan needs a focus on maximising your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) efforts. When it comes to getting conclusive search engine referrer metrics, you need to be sure you’re getting ALL the insights to drive your SEO strategy. See keyword position rankings, integrate Google, Bing and Yahoo search consoles, and no longer be restricted with “keyword not defined” showing up in your keywords reports.

  Step two : Set your goals and monitor conversion funnels

  Let the Goals feature guide you

  Goals are essential for building your marketing strategy and getting new customers. The more goals you track, the more you learn about behavioural changes and modify pathways to impact acquisitions over time. 

  Are you checking :

  • Which channels are converting the best for your business ?
  • Which cities/countries are most popular ?
  • What devices will attract the most visitors ?
  • How engaged your visitors are before converting ?

  This way you can see if your campaigns (SEO, PPC, signups, blogs etc.) or optimising efforts (A/B Testing, Funnels) have made an impact with the time and investment you’ve put in.

  The Funnels feature leads you to success

  Conversion funnels give you the big picture on whether your acquisition plans are paying off and where they may be falling short. If the ultimate goal of your site is to drive conversions, then each funnel can tell you how effectively you’re driving traffic through to your desired outcome.

  Step three : Measure the success of every touchpoint in your customer’s journey

  Multi Attribution feature

  Accurately identify channels where visitors first engage with your business, as well as the final channel they came from, before purchasing your product/service. This helps you make smarter decisions when determining acquisition spend to accurately calculate the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). Here you no longer falsely over-estimate investment in failing marketing channels.

  Step four : For ecommerce sites, understand who your customers are to increase sales

  If your website’s overall purpose is to generate revenue, the Ecommerce feature gives you comprehensive insights into your customer’s purchasing behaviours.

  This heavily reduces your risks when marketing products to potential customers as you’ll understand who to target, what to target them with and where further opportunities exist.

  Step five : Make sure the forms on your website are easy to complete

  Form Analytics feature

  Once you get visitors through the funnel, the forms on your website are the final step to conversion and need special attention. If not done right, you could be missing out on converting a large portion of your visitors.

  Thankfully, you can now identify and fix pain points on the forms that are most important to your business’ success.

  Step six : Discover what a customer journey looks like on a user-by-user basis and bring in key acquisition elements to your strategy

  Visitor Profiles tell you each visitors’ history

  The Profile feature summarises every visit, action and purchase made.

  Better understand :

  • Why your visitors viewed your website.
  • Why your returning visitors continue to view your website.
  • What specifically your visitors are looking for and whether they found it on your website.

  The benefit is being able to see how a combination of acquisition channels play a part in a single buyer’s journey.

  To summarise

  This guide will set you on a path to creating a well-planned acquisition strategy. It’s the key to attracting and capturing the attention of potential visitors/leads, and successfully driving them through a funnel/buyer’s journey on your website.

  Because of Matomo’s reputation as a trusted analytics platform, the features above can be used to assist you in making smarter data-driven decisions. You can pursue different acquisition avenues with confidence and create a strategy that’s agile and ready for success, all while respecting user privacy.

• Encoding videos locally or through a third party ?

  7 septembre 2015, par JordanDevelop

  We’re in the process on building a view uploading and sharing community right now and we’re currently developing with idea of using a third-party like Zencoder, but what makes Zencoder a better option ?

  I’m sorry if i butcher up what is involved with supporting a local encoding system, so I’ll try to be vague. We plan on releasing with AWS, so why not setup an instance running ffmpeg ? I understand it’s a lot more then simply that, but if is it that difficult to find someone who can put together an instance for encoding ?

  Am I right to assume most third party encoding services seem very unrealistic, price wise, for a web application who specifically focus on encoding large amounts of media ? I did notice Amazon offers an encoding features and would definitely feel more comfortable using them, but even that seems seems redundant.

  I completely understand the cost behind encoding is very real, but I just can’t understand why third-party encoders are so widely accepted.

• Piwik 2.10.0 – Release Candidate

  22 décembre 2014, par Piwik Core Team — Community

  We are proud to announce that the release candidate for Piwik 2.10.0 is now available !

  How do I upgrade to the release candidate ?

  You can upgrade to the release candidate in one click, by following instructions in this FAQ.

  Think you’ve found a bug ?

  Please create a bug report in our issue tracker.

  What’s new in Piwik 2.10.0 ?

  Since our last release Piwik 2.9.1 one month ago, over 100 issues have been closed. We’ve focused on fixing bugs, improving performance, and we created a new plugin that will let you better scale Piwik to very high traffic websites using Redis.

  Much improved Log Analytics

  Log Analytics is the powerful little-known feature of Piwik that lets you import dozens of different server logs into Piwik. In Piwik 2.10.0 you can now import Netscaler logs, IIS Advanced Logging Module logs, W3C extended logs and AWS CloudFront logs. Piwik will also automatically track the username as the User ID and/or the Page Generation Time when it is found in the server logs.

  Better scalability using Redis (advanced users)

  At Piwik PRO we are working on making Piwik scale when tracking millions of requests per month. In this release we have revamped the Tracking API. By using the new QueuedTracking plugin you can now queue tracking requests in a Redis database, which lets you scale the Piwik tracking service. The plugin is included as Free/libre software in the core Piwik platform. More information in the QueuedTracking user guide.

  Better performance

  A few performance challenges have been fixed in this release.

  The Visitor Log and the Live API will render much faster on very high traffic websites. Any custom date ranges that you have selected as default in your User Settings (eg. ‘Last 7 days’ or ‘Previous 30 days’) will now be pre-processed so that your analytics dashboard will always load quickly.

  For users on shared hosting, the real time widgets could be use a lot of server resource as they are refreshed every ten seconds. We’ve improved this by only requesting data when the Browser Tab containing the Real time widgets is active.

  Other changes

  We packed in many other changes in this release such as compatibility with Mysql 5.6 and Geo location support for IPv6 addresses. A community member made Piwik compatible with Internet Explorer 9 when running in compatibility mode (which is still used in several companies).

  The Tracker algorithm has been updated : when an existing visit uses a new Campaign then it will force creating a new visit (same behavior as Google Analytics).

  If you need professional support or guidance, get in touch with Piwik PRO.

  Changelog for Piwik 2.10.0 – we plan to release Piwik 2.10.0 around 2015 Jan 5th.

  Happy Analytics, and we wish you a nice holiday season !
