Do you own an Echo Studio, an Echo Dot, or a Ring Floodlight Cam? If so, Amazon is about to introduce your device to a new type of network it calls Sidewalk, which is meant to help extend the range of its low-bandwidth devices (so that if your network goes down, for example, your Dot can piggyback on your neighbors’), and also to make location devices such as Tile more efficient.
Use interactive charts to explore a deeply-nested inflation datasetShowing data broken down into categories is quite easy — just use a humble bar chart or pie chart (although there’s a 100-year old debate about which is best). But what if each category has sub-categories? And those sub-categories have sub-sub-categories? This is a common data pattern found in many domains including filesystems, biology, and economics.
A look into how software developers are taking on more responsibility, and what this means for traditional tech rolesPhoto by Peter Gombos on UnsplashHistorically, IT departments have been structured across lines of technology, such as the app, UX, and database teams. More recently, the 2-pizza DevOps team has emerged and evangelized restructuring around lines of business. A single team is now responsible for a particular business capability end-to-end. This has ushered in the era of the full-stack developer — an engineer who can contribute to any facet of the system.
Google is constantly working on its algorithms to improve search quality and give users the best possible answers to their search queries. However, it would be naive to think that algorithms can do the whole job flawlessly. In addition to algorithms, Google also has a Search Quality team that manually reviews websites that show signs of unethical behavior. In fact, it is a full-time job for the Google Search Quality team to decide whether a particular website has or has not violated the rules.
In Google Analytics, you can define any actions that are valuable to your business as a conversion. For example, someone completing your contact form, signing up for your newsletter, or making a purchase could all be considered conversions. And your conversion rate is the percentage of people (based on either sessions or users) who visit your website and complete your desired action, compared to your total number of website visitors.
Master data management definitionMaster data management (MDM) is a set of disciplines, processes, and technologies used to manage an organization’s master data. Master data is data about business entities or objects (customers, suppliers, employees, products, cost centers, etc.) around which business is conducted. It is used to provide context to transactional data and is typically scattered around the business in various spreadsheets, applications, and even physical media.
I’m starting to see the big consultancies and advisory services coming out with their lists of “what’s hot” from a data and analytics perspective. While I may not have the wide purview of these organizations, I certainly do work with some interesting organizations who are at various points in their data and analytics journey. With that in mind, I’d like to share my perspective as to what I think will be big in the area of data and analytics over the next 18 months.
Technology gave rise to Data Analytics, but it can also become the cause of several privacy issues. Data Analytics is progressively changing the world. Businesses, governments, and different organizations are unlocking their true potential with the help of Data Analytics. Real-time analytics provides swift solutions to complex problems, enabling faster decision-making, and accelerating investments across all industrial sectors.
Sentiment Analysis — Comparing 3 Common Approaches: Naive Bayes, LSTM, and VADERA Study on Strengths and Drawbacks for the Different Approaches (With Sample Code) Sentiment Analysis, or Opinion Mining, is a subfield of NLP (Natural Language Processing) that aims to extract attitudes, appraisals, opinions, and emotions from text. Inspired by the rapid migration of customer interactions to digital formats e.g. emails, chat rooms, social media posts, comments, reviews, and surveys, Sentiment Analysis has become an integral part of analytics organizations must perform to understand how they are positioned in the market. To be clear, Sentiment Analysis isn’t a novel concept.
As an agency, one of the most important resources you will need to create and develop is your pitch deck. It is one of the last steps in the funnel for converting your leads into clients, which, in turn, allows you to grow your business – a major problem for 47% of marketing agencies. It makes sense, then, to ensure that your pitch deck covers all bases and seals the deal. After all, nobody wants to go into a potential client meeting unprepared and underwhelm their audience.
If marketing were an apple pie, data would be the apples — without data supporting your marketing program, it might look good from the outside, but inside it’s hollow. In a recent survey from Villanova University, 100% of marketers said data analytics has an essential role in marketing’s future. With everyone on board with the importance of data analytics, it’s surprising that as of 2020, only 52.7% of marketers were actually using analytics in their marketing efforts (according to Marketing Evolution), and only 9% of marketers polled by Gartner’s Marketing Data and Analytics Survey said their company has a strong understanding of how to effectively use data analytics. This illuminates a disconnect: Marketers understand data’s significance, but they don’t know how to use it to best serve their business objectives.…

No matter our background or beliefs, we all want control over our personal information, our private views and our sensitive data. That control is key to our autonomy and our liberty. But in 2013 Edward Snowden pulled back the curtain on how governments had used the excuse of the “war on terror” to erode that liberty.
According to BrightEdge, 68 percent of all online experiences start with a search engine, and 53 percent of website traffic corgomes from organic search. Yet, only 0.78 percent of these searchers click results on the second page of Google. That means if you’re not showing up on the front page of the SERPs, you aren’t getting traffic.
In recent years, researchers have used artificial intelligence to improve translation between programming languages or automatically fix problems. The AI system DrRepair, for example, has been shown to solve most issues that spawn error messages. But some researchers dream of the day when AI can write programs based on simple descriptions from non-experts.
As organizations look to safely and securely connect with their partners, executive decision makers are increasingly finding that their strategic discussions on data collaboration need to include privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). PETs offer businesses the ability to accelerate safe data collaboration, build customer intelligence, and maximize the value of data without relinquishing control or compromising consumer privacy.
Most marketers know link building is one of the countless critical factors for boosting your search engine rankings in the eyes of the Google Gods. However, the words you choose for linking out and into your site matter too – and quite a lot! Those words are called anchor text, and Google’s algorithms pay more attention to them than newbies (and even some marketing veterans) realize.
You’ve worked hard to perfect your ad campaign, create action-inducing landing pages, and win sales. Your ads have just gone live, but there’s one big problem: People are out there clicking your ads over and over with absolutely no intention of buying anything. It sounds dramatic, but click fraud is something advertisers should be aware of (advertisers lose around $5.8 billion a year globally), and it can make a difference to the success of your ads.
There are tons of resources and links out there, but often we get confused on which resources to follow. Don’t worry, I have got you covered. I have attached the links to several YouTube channels, blogs, courses, and other websites that I found appropriate for a beginner. You can also use the Data Science Community Websites Like Analytics Vidhya and Kaggle for implementing your learning and getting hands-on experience in Data Science.
Conversion tracking is a feature in Google Ads that keeps tabs of what meaningful actions are completed by visitors on your website or landing page. This is to help you better understand the effectiveness, as well as the return on investment, for your ad spend and marketing efforts. But as great as it sounds, it gets complicated. You start hitting snags. Conversions fall off. Things start breaking. Next thing you know, you’re in an account with skewed conversion data and no idea if the money put towards your ads is actually making a difference in your business’s success.
