Comments on: Why Are Web Analytics Vendors Interested in Sweden and the Other Nordic Countries? http://www.webanalysts.info/webanalytics/why-web-analytics-in-sweden/ A blog about web analytics Tue, 22 Nov 2011 10:21:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Steve Jackson http://www.webanalysts.info/webanalytics/why-web-analytics-in-sweden/comment-page-1/#comment-901 Steve Jackson Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:50:24 +0000 http://www.webanalysts.info/webanalytics/why-web-analytics-in-sweden/#comment-901 It may also be the awareness building that the WAA (web analytics association) has been doing in the Nordics. Bryan Eisenberg asked me to co-chair the Nordic branch of the WAA in August of 2005, because we'd been working in this area in this field for nearly 18 months by then, including spreading awareness of the vendors and technologies at events like Search Engine Strategies Stockholm back in 2004. After a slow but steady start as soon as we got Lars on board (the author of this blog) to run the Swedish branch, things started happening here that became a catalyst for many other events across the Nordic region. You also have to remember that the IAB and KIA indexes have raised awareness of the general measurement issues very prominently, which hasn't happened in southern Europe. I don't think it's a surprise that the Nordics is well represented and the vendors follow what is happening with interest.
