Welcome to the blogosphere Judah Phillips!
There was a question posted to the Yahoo! group recently asking about web analytics practitioner blogs. I looked at the post and thought “what a funny thing to ask about …” but it stuck in my head. I’m not even sure if the author got many answers given that most of the folks that pop into my head are all either working for vendors or working in consulting groups.
Some of the best practitioner-bloggers, folks like Clint Ivy and Avinash Kaushik, have gone to work for vendors (and I happen to know of one more such defection about to occur but have been sworn to secrecy, for now …) Of the folks I track in my blogroll, I believe that only Dustin Wallace, Paul Strupp, and Scott Baldwin are real web analytics practitioners-not-consultants-not-vendors … surprisingly few when you consider that the vast majority of people doing web analytics are not working for vendors or consulting firms.
Well all that just changed: My friend Judah Phillips has joined the fray. Not only has Judah joined the fray, Judah is the first practitioner to join me by blogging under the Web Analytics Demystified brand.
Now, in my experience, Judah has never been at a loss for words so I won’t do him the injustice of putting words into his mouth. He’s written an introductory post and I would encourage you to give it a read.
Welcome to the blogosphere Judah, and welcome to Web Analytics Demystified.

Hi Eric,
You can count me as one of the “practitioners-not-consultants-not-vendors” actively blogging, involved in the local web analytics community and the WAA.
See you at eMetrics!

[…] As usual, Ian’s writing continues to be well thought out and well written, and I highly recommend reading him if you’re not already. I also want to congratulate Ian on joining the team at WebSideStory/Visual Sciences. The blogosphere loses a great practitioner but gains a great vendor/consultant (and to be fair, Ian has been a private consultant for as long as I have known him.) […]

[…] Robbin’s “Birds of a Feather” Web Analytics Blogger’s luncheon on Monday, which I think was not Robbin’s idea but nonetheless is a wonderful idea! There are dozens of web analytics bloggers now, many of whom will be at the conference, and we’re having a private little meet-up. This is cool since my friend Judah can join us now, having recently joined the blogosphere! […]

[…] So, Eric P. announced tonight that Judah Phillips is joining him as a blogger "under the Web Analytics Demystified brand" - emphasis from Eric (I find this choice of words and emphasis particularly intriguing). Judah, an all-around sharp guy and director of web analytics at a "large media company", gets a hardy "Here, Here!" from me, I look forward to his commentary and insights. […]
