Hi all, I'm trying to spread the word about the Analysis Exchange. This was set up as a means of giving budding web analysts on-the-job training, as it were. To provide a FREE and useful service for all, it's aimed at non-profit websites. If you have Google Analytics or another analytics package on your website, you might be interested.
To explain - I'm involved in this project aimed at non-profits called the Analysis Exchange (http://www.webanalyticsdemystified.com/ae/what-is-analysis-exchange.asp). Basically, it's a way of getting experience for student analysts with a mentor while a non-profit gets free web analysis. And it only takes a couple of weeks, generally.
I'm a mentor and you can see the reviews from my last 4 projects here: http://www.webanalyticsdemystified.com/ae/members/profile.asp?m={ED919C01-3C41-4AAD-909A-D70F0C616AAD}
Most of the non-profits currently involved are based in the US (Make a Wish, PBS, Charity:Water), but as I am from Ireland and currently living in Hungary, I'd love to get more European orgs involved (Bóthar and Kimmage DSC from Ireland have been involved recently).

I've found this to be a very rewarding process for all involved. For the org, with free analysis, there is the opportunity to improve the site, get in front of more donors, optimise your web presence etc.etc.
To sign up, simply visit www.analysis-exchange.com or if you need more information let me know.
