The latter has been linked of articles on Big data in order to generate traffic. In this article, we will look at the website statistics using Google analytics. It's quite hard to estimate the efficiency of this blog because of the lack of baseline data and the short term duration. Audience overview : The report above highlights the audience metrics for my blog, such as : How many users How many sessions How many views How many time is spent by session The bounce rate These metrics shows some interesting elements.

Artificial intelligence, a valuable tool for digital marketing

Image
               In a marketing context, artificial intelligence can be defined as entrusting a machine, software or set of algorithms, a task that cannot be handled by a human or that could only be performed by an individual under conditions of cost, quality or time that are less attractive than those provided by the artificial intelligence device. The boundary between a "simple basic algorithm" or the "simple automated use of a response library" and real artificial intelligence is tenuous and sometimes debatable, especially in a context where the term artificial intelligence is often used as a marketing argument or image factor by marketing solution providers. Other observers may have a higher requirement to qualify a technology as artificial intelligence, and some, often from the humanities, even go so far as to say that artificial intelligence does not yet exist. In the field of marketing and e-commerce, for example, artificial intelligenc...

The value in Big Data for Marketing

Image
              Marketing data is changing.   It moves faster than most marketing professionals can even predict, so it is essential to understand that the processes around it are changing, too.   Data integration is the result of data generated by various platforms and sources, collected, cleaned, sorted and ultimately brought to companies in a form and shape that they can use directly to make decisions.Today, organizations are active on so many platforms – Facebook and Linkedin, Microsoft Advertising, Google Analytics and email marketing solutions like Mailchimp, that the amount of data they generate is simply overwhelming. Getting the right data         Companies can have a lot of data, but they are often disorganized, unstructured, and displaced.   Data brings information with them, and when integrated in the right way, it can bring a lot of benefits to the business.

The 3Vs of Big Data : Volume, Velocity and Variety

Image
.        Each company, large or small, manages a considerable amount of data generated by its various data points and business processes.   Sometimes companies can process this data using Excel sheets, databases or other similar tools.   However, when data cannot be integrated into such tools and human error cases exceed acceptable limits due to intensive manual processing, it is time to think about big data and analysis. In this article, we will be discussing how big data can be analysed using the famous 3Vs - Volume, Velocity and Variety. Volume : Considerable amount of data to process The amount of astronomical data generated by businesses and individuals is constantly increasing.   Only Big Data is capable of handling such a large amount of data and information.  Within the Social Media space for example, Volume refers to the amount of data generated through websites, portals and online applications.

What is Big data ? A new gold mine ?

Image
       Big Data has long been on everyone’s lips and is the subject of a lively debate. While its supporters point out the great usefulness of this big data that has emerged with digitisation, criticism is directed at the confidentiality of information. However, the concept is much more complex than it seems and that is why a definition of Big Data is necessary.        Big Data, or literally “big data”, is also called mega data or even massive data. This data is so complex that conventional software or hard drive is unable to process it. In addition, the notion of Big Data is vague since it can also refer to rather innocuous amounts of data from research. Given that the data collected relate to the consumption or communication behaviour of Internet users, the notion is poorly perceived. Critics view this data collection as an infringement of their private law.        The volume of digital data has increased signific...
