Adam will be presenting on the topic of Measure Twice, Blog Once in the Users track.  Here’s an extract from what you can expect to hear from Adam:

This presentation focuses on methods and tools that can help folks get more actionable data out of their WordPress sites. I cover the basics of the Google Analytics plugin, and the other low-cost-or-free analytics application (Chartbeat, Clicky, etc.) plugins that are available for WordPress. Then I cover some basic analytics strategy best practices, before diving into the meat of the presentation, actual examples of ways to use analytics to gain more insight into user behavior. These include some basic tips like capturing off-site clicks to social media connections, and more complex, like feeding Google Analytics cookie data into contact forms and CRMs.
