Getting Help
If you are a self-helper, then apart from reading the book, the section Other Reading Material contains a book list from a wealth of talented people – all of which have influenced my thinking. In addition, you can tap into Google itself as well as numerous groups, forums, blog enthusiasts and a global network of official Google Analytics Certified Partners. This page is intended as a starting point for these – see below…
If you like what I write and how I approach web metrics and optimisation, you can hire me (and the team!) via my company – GA-Experts.com. We work with proactive clients wishing to change how they conduct business on the web. Note, my deliberate emphasis on change…
1. Training workshops with Brian Clifton
Education is a key part of what my company (GA-Experts.com) does. We specialise in one-to-one, in-house training of teams, where the focus is on building an organisation’s metrics understanding and how Google Analytics (as well as combining with other products) can be used to achieve this. View the GA-Experts.com Google Analytics Training service.

Official Google sponsored Seminars for Success. Run globally, these are classroom training events were you sit alongside other companies. They tend to be larger classrooms (i.e. cheaper and less personal – though great value if you don’t require a one-to-one touch) and are most suited to individuals looking for a jump start in AdWords, Analytics, and Website Optimizer.
