Though more sophisticated analytics are now in vogue, and often important, there's nothing quite like stripping away complexity and tracking the cost per action on a single, or just two or three, conversion events. This can help put a marketing project on wheels when multiple stakeholders might otherwise quibble over too many details. I’ve long been a fan of conversion-only style analytics.
