Loading ...For those that are interested e-books there is a PDF version of the Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics book. A kindle version (Amazon’s e-reader) is due May 18th 2010.
There are a number of sites purchase the Google Analytics ebook from:
Discount Code:
If you have the printed version, I have a 25% discount for the PDF ebook. Just send me a picture of you with the book in an interesting location and I will send you the discount code. What’s an interesting location I hear you ask…? I don’t know, a landmark, a great view? Surprise me… Oh, and keep it clean! I would like to add them to the picture gallery of engaged readers 
The second addition will be available in French, German and Chinese in the very near future. The first edition also had Korean (via Acorn) and Czech (via Computer Press), Russian, so expect these to pick up the second edition shortly. Not sure why these specific languages first, but a great deal of interest in those regions. I would be interested to hear from Arabic and Far East readers. Please drop me a line directly (my address is at the bottom of every page).
If you are super cheap(!), you can read the content online at Google Books:

Its free (though no copy & paste or no printing available), so please show your thanks with a book review at Amazon, or wherever you wish…
enjoy

Hi Brian! Could you help us Czechs find the Czech version of the ebook?
Thanks very much!

Just to et you know I am looking at how you can purchase the book in different languages. Czech is to be available form mid February.
BTW, if you follow the link to the Wiley site for the PDF version it says “This product is not currently available for purchase from this website“. So let me chase this as well and post back here.

Brian – Will the e-book be updated with fresh content as time goes on? There are some really great e books out there that offer up to date versions of the book as the evolves with the subject matter.

JG: the e-book is a carbon copy of the printed version. I use this site to keep it up to date.

This is the updated link to purchase the PDF version:
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470290900.html
You need to ensure that the “location” is set to United States (top of page) for this to work. Also, ensure you read the “Important E-Book Information” on how to use the PDF version

Hmm, I tried to follow the link, but it keeps reverting to au.wiley.com (I’m in Australia), and that server just times out. Am keen to purchase but don’t seem to be able to.

Hi Brian
Just wondering if there is Chinese version in your plan?
March 17th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Hi Brian! When spanish version of the book?
Thank you very much!

Simon/Álvaro: The way internationalised versions work is that a local publisher buys the rights from Wiley & Sons. They then translate and sell in their market. As yet, no Spanish or Chinese publisher has made an offer, but if you know of one please send through!

Brian,
Thanks for the extended preview of your book on google books – I own the hard copy (well, paperback anyway) but it’s really quite handy to be able to just browse to a section online instead of getting off my butt to pull the book off the bookshelf. Of course, I don’t really know what this says about me….
anyway, thanks. you’re the man.

Is it possible to get a Google Analytics IQ coupon with the PDF version?
May 6th, 2010 at 1:48 am
Simon: good news. A Chinese edition has just been announced though I don’t have an ETA on when it will be available to purchase. My guess is allow 2-3 months.
David: Many thanks for the feedback. I agree, for technical books a PDF ebook is a must have. If only the publishers would bundle both together. I will keep pushing…
Bani: good question. GAIQ yes, AdWords no
May 12th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Thanks Brian, that’s great. I’ll get it as soon and I arrive home

Very nice news on that! i enjoy this professional sharing!

How can I get access to the code on pages 438-442? I’ve toured this site and can’t find it(although lots of other good stuff!). I tried the Google link but pages are missing out of the Google book, including page 439…and it’s not copyable anyway. Someplace else I’m not looking?
July 20th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Mark: You *should* be able to copy & paste the code from the ebook. Can you confirm if you find this is not the case please.
I am in the process of building a Member’s system for this site. This will contain the book code examples, all colour images, errata pages and more. Access to these will be free
July 20th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
I just shelled out $40 for the physical book, kind of expecting I would get access to the code online. Spending another chunk of cash for the ebook… wouldn’t be right, eh? When I spend that cash I want to spend it on my next book! It’s fairly standard for technical books to have code online (or a CD). Can you email me the 4 pages with the code (pg 438-442) to get me along until you make this generally available?

Also, FYI, this statement in your page above is inaccurate: “…you can read the entire content online at Google Books.”
Actually the Google book has major random blocks of pages intentionally removed to encourage book purchase making it effectively unreadable. It IS a great way to get a feeling for how good the book is though… just as it’s intended! -Mark

I am currently managing and overseeing my company website. Having in place a PDF booklet which I can download and print is invaluable to me; there are so many books out there but having a fully relevant resource like so and one that is free is just what I require as there is so much for me to learn.

When will the kindle version be available?
July 22nd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Dan – odd, the Kindle version should be available. Let me check with the publisher and get back to you.
July 28th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Mark: The pages you reference are for extracting the GA cookie for use in a CRM/Form processing script. If so, you can see the code working on this site. For example the Hacks page has a form (one field) to be notified of updates. I use the same Hack in the book to grab the GA cookies and use as hidden form fields. Therefore viewing the source code will allow you to copy the code.
Hope that helps. Brian

Hi Brian
I have also been wondering when a kindle version will be available. Any news yet?
Best,
August 13th, 2010 at 8:28 am
This is embarrassing. Apparently there is a delay due to getting the Adwords coupon, that comes with the hard copy, in the Kindle… It is completely out of my control, though I will keep you posted
August 13th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Thanks Brian. I look forward to the kindle version when it becomes available. (& no need for embarassment
as you say – it’s out of your control)
Cheers!
