Hi webmasters

I need a little help here, and some suggestions. I am currently in the process of choosing a new webtracking system. I have tested a couple and think i am ready to choose.

I have now specified the different elements i find important to track, and hope that you can contribute with elements that YOU find important to track, and WHY you find it nessecary to track.

I want to setup the following tracking and reporting:

- Funnels for all products (we have 6 products, all downloadable): entrypage -> download page -> download -> installation complete -> buy -> different stages in the buy process -> end of buy (thank you page)

- The conversion rate from visitor to download from PPC vs. SERP.
- The conversion rate according to countries
- Monitoring pages for abnormal high conversion
- Monitoring pages for abnormal low conversion
- Monitoring pages for high amount of visitors
- Monitoring pages for high bouncerate
- Monitoring positions for primary keywords in SERPS
- Possibility for A/B Splittesting
- Possibility for tracking different campaigns (banners, ppc, email, ec.)
- Amound of visitors according to Countries

Thats about what I can come up with would be relevant data to track - I hope you have suggestions to elements to track, cross-reports that could be of interest etc.

Conversion rate by Keyword organic and PPC

Conversion rate by campaign source (not limiting campaign to PPC but also websites where you can't control the inbound link - e.g. organic search and blogs that talk about you.)

I find that being able to schedule and email different reports direct to different people (including myself) a timesaver too.

Funnel Velocity: time it takes to move from one stage to the other in the funnel.

Email campaign effectiveness: lift analysis (targeted vs control group and targeted vs total customer base)
