I can stare at them pretty well, but I don&#8217;t think winning a staring contest with my analytics is going to help my business.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhen I took the SATs and later the GRE a couple decades ago, my scores were pretty middle of the road.  My boyfriend at the time got a perfect score and one of my best friends was just shy of that by 10 points.  Besides feeling inadequate in comparison, I took solace in the fact that I had a super score on the analytical sections.  So, what has happened to my brain?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not that I haven&#8217;t tried to figure it out.  I&#8217;ve visited other sites that offer some explanation of how to &#8220;read&#8221; the reports.  Soon, I get the same vacant feeling between my ears and I go design something or hang out on Twitter.  And the analytics are left to themselves until the compulsion to conquer them comes over me again.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSo, I throw out this challenge to you.  If you have a good handle on your numbers, can you tell me how you do it?  I&#8217;m hoping there is some secret formula or code that will make it, if not easier, then interesting.  Do you have something like that?<br \/>\n<P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How often do you analyze your numbers?
