  • Les vidéos

    21 avril 2011, par

    Comme les documents de type "audio", Mediaspip affiche dans la mesure du possible les vidéos grâce à la balise html5 .
    Un des inconvénients de cette balise est qu’elle n’est pas reconnue correctement par certains navigateurs (Internet Explorer pour ne pas le nommer) et que chaque navigateur ne gère en natif que certains formats de vidéos.
    Son avantage principal quant à lui est de bénéficier de la prise en charge native de vidéos dans les navigateur et donc de se passer de l’utilisation de Flash et (...)

  • Lean Analytics in a Privacy-First Environment – Bootcamp with Timo Dechau

    In a recent bootcamp, Timo Dechau walked attendees through his approach to data and measurement in privacy-focused analytics environments. He demonstrates how to shift from a chaotic, ‘track-it-all’ mentality to a focused method that prioritizes quality over quantity. This post will summarize some of his key privacy-first analytics ideas, but be sure to check out the on-demand video for more detail.

    the consequences of more data are missing and incomplete data that messes up attribution and measurement.

    Unrestrained data collection leads to data bloat

    Marketing and the business world are experiencing a data problem. Analysts and business intelligence teams grapple with large amounts of data that aren’t always useful and are often incomplete. The idea that “more data is better” became a guiding principle in the early 2000s, encouraging companies to gather everything possible using all available data collection methods. This unrestrained pursuit often led to an unexpected problem : data bloat. Too much data, too little clarity. Digital marketers, analysts, and business leaders now try to navigate vast amounts of information that create more confusion than insight, especially when the data is incomplete due to privacy regulations.

    Cutting through the noise, focusing on what matters

    The “more data is better” mindset emerged when digital marketers were beginning to understand data’s potential. It seemed logical : more data should mean more opportunities to optimise, personalise, and drive results. But in practice, gathering every possible piece of data often leads to a cluttered, confusing pile of metrics that can mislead more than guide.

    This approach carries hidden costs. Excessive data collection burns resources, increases privacy concerns, and leaves teams unfocused. It’s easy to get lost trying to make sense of endless dashboards, metrics, and reports. More data doesn’t necessarily lead to better decisions ; it often just leads to more noise, hindering effective data management.

    Rethinking data management : From data overload to data mindfulness

    Data management has often prioritised comprehensive data gathering without considering the specific value of each data point. This approach has created more information, but not necessarily better insights.

    Data mindfulness is about taking a deliberate, focused approach to data collection and analysis. Instead of trying to collect everything, it emphasises gathering only what truly adds value. It’s about ensuring the data you collect serves a purpose and directly contributes to better insights and data-driven decision-making.

    Think of it like applying a “lean” methodology to data—trimming away the unnecessary and keeping only what is essential. Or consider embracing data minimalism to declutter your data warehouse, keeping only what truly sparks insight.

    Mindful data is ethical data

    Adopting a mindful approach to data can pay off in several ways :

    • Reduces overwhelm : When you reduce the clutter, you’re left with fewer, clearer metrics that lead to stronger decisions and actionable data insights.

    • Mitigates compliance risks : By collecting less, companies align better with privacy regulations and build trust with their customers. Privacy-first analytics and privacy-compliant analytics practices mean there’s no need for invasive tracking if it doesn’t add value—and customers will appreciate that.

    • Enhances data ethics : Focusing on the quality rather than the quantity of data collected ensures ethical data collection and management. Companies use data responsibly, respect user privacy, and minimise unnecessary data handling, strengthening customer relationships and brand integrity.

    • Improves data efficiency : Focused analytics means better use of resources. You’re spending less time managing meaningless metrics and more time working on meaningful insights. Many companies have found success by switching to a leaner, quality-first data approach, reporting sharper, more impactful results.

    Shifting towards simplicity and lean analytics

    If data mindfulness sounds appealing, here’s how you can get started :

    1. Ask the right questions. Before collecting any data, ask yourself : Why are we collecting this ? How will it drive value ? If you can’t answer these questions clearly, that data probably isn’t worth collecting. This is a key step in smart data management.

    2. Simplify metrics. Focus on the KPIs that truly matter for your business. Choose a handful of key metrics that reflect your goals rather than a sprawling list of nice-to-haves. Embracing data simplicity helps in targeting data collection effectively.

    3. Audit your current data. Review your existing data collection processes. Which metrics are you actively using to make decisions ? Eliminate any redundant or low-value metrics that create noise. Use ethical data management practices to ensure data efficiency and compliance. Understanding what is data management in this context is crucial.

    4. Implement lean analytics practices. Shift towards lean analytics by cutting down on unnecessary tracking. This can involve reducing reliance on multiple tracking scripts, simplifying your reporting, and setting up a streamlined dashboard focused on key outcomes. Embrace data reduction strategies to eliminate waste and boost effectiveness.

  • Run scripts in other instances and pass variables from the first script to the second

    3 février 2023, par Tyrone Hirt

    I have the following script :

    &#xA;

    Get-ChildItem -Path $RenderClient -Recurse -Filter "ffmpeg crop.ps1" |&#xA;  Where-Object { Test-Path (Join-Path $_.DirectoryName *.mp4) } |&#xA;  ForEach-Object {&#xA;  try {&#xA;  Start-Process -WorkingDirectory $_.DirectoryName powershell.exe "-NoExit -File `"$($_.FullName)`""&#xA;  }&#xA;  catch {&#xA;  Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Red "N&#xE3;o foi possivel cortar o arquivo:"; Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor White " $_.Name "; Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor White "`nMensagem de erro:"; Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Red " $($_.Exception.Message)`n";&#xA;   }&#xA;  }&#xA; }&#xA;

    &#xA;

    This code is a part of my first script, basically it looks for ffmpeg crop.ps1 files that have a .mp4 file in the same folder and runs those scripts.

    &#xA;

    The issue is that I would like to make the process a little cleaner and more practical, currently when I need to make a change in the ffmpeg crop script I need to open all the folders and change one by one.

    &#xA;

    To avoid this, I would like to have a single file ffmpeg crop.ps1, and every time a .mp4 file is found in the path specified in the first script, an instance of that single script ffmpeg crop.ps1 is triggered, too I need $_.FullName and $_.Name of each .mp4 file found to be passed to each respective instance so that I can use these values ​​within the ffmpeg crop script.

    &#xA;

    I've been racking my brain for days trying to get this to work, I'll be very grateful for any help with this.

    &#xA;

    Edit - in more detail

    &#xA;

    The $RenderClient folder of my script is C:/Videos inside that folder there are several child folders that follow the logic : 01-01, 01-02,02-01, 02-02...

    &#xA;

    enter image description here

    &#xA;

    Currently, inside each child folder there is a script ffmpeg crop.ps1, this script is responsible for cutting a piece of the video that is inside that folder, however it is only activated if there is a .mp4 file to be cut, in the same folder that it, that is, for the script ffmpeg crop.ps1 to be activated in folder 01-01, it is necessary to have the script itself and a .mp4 file.

    &#xA;

    This script would be triggered

    &#xA;

    enter image description here

    &#xA;

    This script would not be triggered

    &#xA;

    enter image description here

    &#xA;

    The point is, I would like to make this more practical, so instead of having one ffmpeg crop.ps1 script inside each child folder, I would like to have only one ffmpeg crop.ps1 script, and it would stay in the parent folder.

    &#xA;

    I would like it to work like this :

    &#xA;

    enter image description here

    &#xA;

    For that, I would need to change my code, so that the script recursively searches for .mp4 files inside the parent folder, for each file that is found, it must open an instance of the script ffmpeg crop.ps1 that is in the parent folder and pass the variables $_.Name and $_.FullName of the files found to the respective instance of the open ffmpeg crop.ps1 script, so that each instance will be executed correctly.

  • Organic Traffic : What It Is and How to Increase It

    19 septembre 2023, par Erin — Analytics Tips

    Organic traffic can be a website’s most valuable source of visitors. But it can also be the hardest form of traffic to acquire. While paid ads can generate traffic almost instantly, you need to invest time and energy into growing traffic from search engines.

    And it all starts with understanding exactly what organic traffic is. 

    If you want to understand what organic traffic is, how to measure it and how to generate more of it, then this article is for you.

    What is organic traffic ?

    Organic traffic is the visitors your website receives from the unpaid results on search engines like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo. 

    The higher your website ranks in the search engine results pages and the more search terms your website ranks for, the more organic traffic your site will receive. 

    Organic traffic is highly valued by marketers, partly because it has a much higher clickthrough rate than PPC ads. Research shows the top organic result has a 39.8% CTR compared to just 2.1% for paid ads.

    So, while you can pay to appear at the top of search engines (using a platform like Google Ads, for instance), you probably won’t receive as much traffic as you would if you were to rank organically in the same search engine.

    What other types of traffic are there ? 

    Organic traffic isn’t the only type of traffic your website can get. You can also receive traffic from the following channels :

    Direct

    People familiar with your site may visit it directly, either by entering your URL into their browser or accessing it through a bookmarked link ; both scenarios are counted as direct traffic.

    Social

    Social traffic includes visits to your website from a social media platform. For example, if someone shares a link to your website on Facebook, any user who clicks on it will be counted as social traffic. 

    Websites

    Social media isn’t the only way for someone to share a link to your website. Any time a visitor finds your website by clicking on a link on another website, it will be counted as “websites”. This is also known as referral traffic on some analytics platforms. 

    Campaign

    Campaign traffic encompasses both paid and unpaid traffic sources. Paid sources include advertising on search engines and social media (also known as PPC or pay-per-click), as well as collaborations with influencers and sponsorships. Unpaid sources, such as your organisation’s email newsletters, cross-promotions with other businesses and other similar methods, are also part of this mix. 

    In simpler terms, it’s the traffic you deliberately direct to your site, and you utilise campaign tracking URLs to measure how these efforts impact your ROI.

    A word on multi-touch attribution

    If you are interested in learning more about types of traffic to track conversions, then it’s important to understand multi-touch attribution. The truth is most customers won’t just use a single traffic channel to find your website. In reality, the modern customer journey has multiple touchpoints, and customers may first find your site through an ad and then search for more about your brand on Google before going directly to your website. 

    You are at risk of under or overestimating the effectiveness of a marketing channel without using multi-touch attribution tracking. With this marketing analytics model, you can accurately weigh the impact of every channel and allocate budgets accordingly. 

    What are the benefits of organic traffic ?

    Getting more organic traffic is a common marketing goal for many companies. And it’s not surprising why. There’s a lot to love about organic traffic. 

    For starters, it’s arguably the most cost-effective traffic your site can receive. You will still need to pay to create and distribute organic content (whether it’s a blog post or product page). You don’t need to pay for it to show up in a search engine. You continue to get value from organic traffic long after you’ve created the page, too. A good piece of organic content can receive high volumes of monthly visitors for years. That’s a stark difference from paid ads, where traffic stops as soon as you turn off the ad. 

    It also puts your website in front of a massive audience, with Google alone processing over 3.5 billion searches every day. There’s a good chance that if your target audience is looking for a solution to their problems, they start with Google. 

    Organic traffic is fantastic at building brand awareness. Usually, users aren’t searching for a specific brand or company. They are searching for informational keywords (“how to brew the perfect cup of coffee”) or unbranded transactional keywords (“best home workout machine”). In both cases, customers can use search engines to become aware of your brand. 

    Finally, organic traffic brings in high-quality leads at every marketing funnel stage. Because users are searching for informational and transactional keywords, your site can receive visits from buyers at every stage of the marketing funnel, giving you multiple chances to convert them and helping to increase the number of touch points you have.

    How to check your website’s organic traffic

    You don’t need to complete complex calculations to determine your site’s organic traffic. A web analytics solution like Matomo will accurately measure your site’s organic traffic. 

    In Matomo, on the left-hand sidebar, you can access organic traffic data by clicking Acquisition and then selecting All Channels.

    You’ll find a detailed breakdown of all traffic sources, including organic traffic, within the specified timeframe. The report is set to the current day by default, but you can view organic traffic metrics over a day, week, month, year or a date range of your choice.

    If you want to take things further, you can get a detailed view of organic visitors by creating a custom report for “Visitors from Search Engines only.” By creating a custom report with the segment “Channel Type is search”, you’ll be able to combine other metrics like average actions per visit, bounce rate, goal conversions, etc., to create a comprehensive report on your organic traffic and the behavior of these visitors.

    Matomo also lets you integrate Google, Bing and Yahoo search consoles directly into your Matomo Analytics to monitor keyword performance.

    How to increase organic traffic

    Follow these six tips if you want to increase the web traffic you get organically from search engines.

    Here’s the reality : Most websites don’t get much traffic from Google. Only 40% of sites rank on the first page, and just 23% sit in the top three results. 

    Let’s take quality first. The best content tends to rise to the top of search engines. That’s because it gets shared more, receives more backlinks and gets more user engagement. So, if you want to appear at the top of Google results, creating mediocre content probably won’t cut it. You need to go above and beyond what is already there. 

    But you can’t just create one fantastic piece of content and expect to receive thousands of visitors. You need multiple pages targeting as many search terms as possible. The more pages search engines index, the more opportunities you have to rank. Or, to put it another way, the more shots you take, the greater your chances of scoring. 

    Use keyword research tools

    While creating great content is essential, you want to ensure that content targets the right keywords. These keywords receive a suitable amount of traffic and are easy to rank for. 

    Keyword research tools like Ahrefs of Semrush are the easiest way to find high-traffic topics to write about. Specifically, you want to aim for long-tail keywords. These are search terms that contain three or more words. Think “Nike men’s basketball shoe” rather than “basketball shoe.”

    As you can see, long tail keywords have a lower monthly search volume (250 vs. 1,100 using the example above) than broad terms but are much easier to rank for (14 vs. 41 Keyword Difficulty).

    While the above tools can help you find new topics to write about, Matomo’s Search Engine Keywords Performance plugin can help highlight topics you have already covered that could be expanded.

    The plugin automatically connects to APIs from all significant search engines and imports all the keywords people search for when clicking on your websites into your Matomo report. 

    If you find a cluster of keywords on the same topic that generates a lot of visitors, it may be worth creating even more content on that topic. Similarly, if there’s a topic you think you have covered but isn’t generating much traffic, you can look at revising and refreshing your existing content to try to rank higher. 

    Build high-quality backlinks

    Backlinks are arguably the most important Google ranking factor and the primary way Google assesses the authoritativeness of your site and content. Backlinks strongly and positively correlate with traffic — at least according to 67.5% of respondents in a uSERP industry survey. 

    There are plenty of ways you can create high-quality backlinks that Google loves. Strategies include :

    • Creating and promoting the best content about a given topic
    • Guest posting on high-authority websites
    • Building relationships with other websites

    Ensure you avoid building low-quality spam links at all costs — such as private blog networks (PBNs), forum and comment spam links and directory links. These links won’t help your content to rank higher, and Google may even penalise your entire site if you build them. 

    Find and fix any technical Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) issues

    Search engines like Google need to be able to quickly and accurately crawl and index your website to rank your content. Unfortunately, many sites suffer from technical issues that impede search engine bots. 

    The good news is that certain tools make these issues easy to spot. Take the Matomo SEO Web Vitals feature, for instance. This lets you track a set of core web vital metrics, including :

    • Page Speed Score
    • First Contentful Paint (FCP)
    • Final Input Delay (FID)
    • Last Contentful Paint (LCP)
    • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

    Take things even further by identifying major bugs and issues with your site. Crashes and other issues that impact user experience can also hurt your SEO and organic traffic efforts — so it’s best to eliminate them as soon as they occur. 

    See which bugs cause your site to crash and how you can recreate them

    Use Matomo’s Crash Analytics feature to get precise bug location information as well as the user’s interactions that triggered, the device they were using, etc. Scheduled reporting and alerts allow you to automate this task and instantly detect bugs as soon as they occur.

    Improve your on-page SEO

    As well as fixing technical issues, you should spend time optimising specific elements of your website to improve how it ranks in search engines. 

    There are several on-page elements you should optimise :

    • Image alt tags
    • URLs
    • Headings
    • Title tags
    • Internal links

    Your goal should be to include a target keyword in each element above. For example, your URL should be something like yoursite.com/keyword.

    It’s best to err on the side of caution here. Avoid adding too many keywords to each of these elements. This is called keyword stuffing, and Google may slap your site with a penalty. 

    Track your content’s performance

    One final way to increase organic traffic is to use an analytics platform to understand what content needs improving and which pages can be removed.

    Use an analytics platform like Matomo to see which pages generate the most organic traffic and which lag behind. This can help you prioritise your SEO efforts while highlighting pages that add no value. These pages can be completely revamped, redirected to another page or removed if appropriate. 

    Conclusion

    Organic traffic is arguably the most valuable traffic source your site can acquire. It is essential to monitor organic traffic levels and take steps to increase your organic traffic. 

    A good analytics platform can help you do both. Matomo’s powerful, open-source web analytics solution protects your data and your users’ privacy, while providing the SEO tools you need to send your organic traffic levels soaring.
