1. How to connect all your inbound and outbound channels to GA
2. To learn where your best (not most) traffic is coming from
3. How to determine if that campaign made you any money
What you’re going to learn today:

To solve any problem you need:
Who What How

1. Segments (The Who)2. Conversion Goals (The What)3. Campaigns (The How)
The Three Core Concepts:

Just because
![Page 11: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Segments (The Who)
Rule: Aggregate numbers are lies! LIES!!! Break them into segments to find their value.
![Page 12: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Proof that aggregates are lies:
Average pant size in this room is ~32”. If I start a business making pants, should I only make size 32 pants?!

2. Conversions Goals (The What)
Rule: You don’t want traffic. You want sales (or leads, or comments, or conversations, or shares, or something). So stop measuring “traffic.”
![Page 22: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What’s a Goal?
So… what do you want your site to do?What do you really want people to do on your site?If you can track/measure it, it can be a goal.

3. Campaigns (The How)
Rule: Don’t tell anyone, but Google is kinda dumb. It thinks in very limited channels. You can work around it, but you’ll need a magic key.
![Page 29: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What’s a Campaign?
A series of related actions (a Facebook ad, an email blast, a flyer and an AdWords ad, for example) that are connected in your mind, but not in GA’s mind.
![Page 30: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Example:
Product launch:●Facebook posts (1/week)●Twitter announcements (2/day)●Two email announcement●Posters●AdWords Ads
![Page 31: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
To Google, this looks like:
Source:●Facebook ●Twitter ●Email ●Direct●AdWords
![Page 32: James Ellis: ContentJam 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b76b484a79596d3a8b456a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Problems:
● Doesn’t see the campaign, only sees the elements
● Mixes in non-campaign activity (Twitter links unrelated to the campaign)
● Sifting through the haystack to find the needles from the same brand. Good luck.
