Update - Data Export and more
No Responses since November 27th, 2006
We’ve completed the data export feature, and made it live last Wednesday.
Along with PPC tracking, this was one of the very first requests we received, and an extremely high priority. We’re pleased to have completed this feature request, and to be able to make it available to you. Once you log into your Enquisite reporting interface, you’ll see a link below the Search Engine Summary Report; that will lead you to the data export area.
We’ve also move the search interface to this area of the reporting. It was right at the bottom of the reports previously, which was not the most logical or natural placement. That’s been fixed. As you know, there are 2 search options: exact match and loose match. For example, type in “analytics” with exact match selected, and you’ll get a report on just the term “analytics,” do the same with loose match enabled, and you’ll get a report with “search analytics”; “web analytics”; etc… very useful for search engine optimization when working on Long Tail issues.
Data exports are prepared on the first of the month for the previous month. We’ve gone back and prepared all your historical data for export as well. The files are zipped, and are tab separated value text files, with all the information we’re collecting for you ready for you to use!
A number of people have been very anxiously awaiting this feature - they do a lot of data modeling in Excel, and this data should save them a lot of time. We hope you’ll like it! We’ve had lots of requests for all sorts of interesting reports. Of course, we want to build it all, but can’t do so at the speed we’re getting requests. We realized that data exports would allow us to provide you, Enquisite users, a tool so you could build your own. It’s your data!
By making the processed data downloadable, we’re empowering users to create customized reports, as you need / want them. We’ll continue to create features and reports that users ask for, but some things that users want today, we just can’t do. For example, one user wants to be able to extract specific information on traffic week over week, and graph just that one piece of information as a trend over time chart. We’ll get there, but now he doesn’t have to wait – we’ve given him the raw data which he can import into Excel, and process to look exactly how he wants it. Another user wants to track groups of keywords from specific engines, and graph their trends over time. Again, we’ll get there, but can’t do it today. Now, she can get that one additional report she wants, today, and doesn’t need to wait for us. That’s powerful!
As always, please let us know if you like it, if you don’t, if there’s something you would like added to it, etc…
Next up is some housekeeping; password management, multiple accounts per organization, etc… Surprisingly, (and happily), having multiple accounts per organization has been a very common user request! As has been the request to have multiple accounts accessible under one log-in.
Keep the requests coming!
Thanks again ,
