Release: Free Cost Data Uploader for Google Analytics

In your Google Analytics today, for how many traffic sources do you know the ROI, Cost Per Acqusition or Revenue Per Click? If you haven’t recently uploaded cost data for these traffic sources, the simple answer is ”only Adwords” or ”none”. Without access to these metrics, decisions for how to spend your marketing budget will be qualified guesses at best.

Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half. – John Wanamaker
