Back in April I wrote a how to for heading tags. You should know how to do this, yet at the same time, I think that within just a few years it will be pointless. I also think so will using a search engine that indexes the entire internet. There are three reasons I say this. One is due to the lack of technology, one is due to new technology, and the final blow is due to old technology. Did I mention money? Well I guess there is four. Continue reading »

 

Below are a list of the top blog posts that I wrote this year. Information was gathered using Google Analytics. I felt I needed to mention that I used Google Analytics because the first most popular post on this site for 2009 was bashing Google. I really like them, actually.

The list ranks the top first, and the items in bold, are ones that I personally prefer. Continue reading »

 

Huh? The goal is to have more goals? You may be thinking this is a stupid idea. I don’t actually want more goals though. My primary goal for 2010 is to have my “goals”, that I defined using Google Analytics, to occur more often. My goal is to increase my goal count.

Google Analytics

I’m sure many of you have Google Analytics running on your site, and already know what a great resource it is. Are you using it to its full potential though? In my most recent post, Your Website is Better than You Think, I mention a potential goal for websites owners. That goal was to get your visitors to do something on your site. Continue reading »

 

It’s true, most websites work great. I can lease a server from pretty much any hosting company, slap a website on it, and expect up time of 99% or greater with no issues for years. Another thing websites do really well? Nothing. This post is directed specifically to small business owners, because I know many of you have websites that do just that, they do nothing really well.

Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue, or in the case of blogging, sit on your hands.

If your blog is about improving websites, like this one, ranting about politics could be the worse thing you or I could do. This morning, the urge for me to get off topic ranting about politics was at an all time high.

Knowing that I often unfollow people who express political opinions that oppose me, I decided to turn it into  a reminder for others to keep it keep on topic. Continue reading »

 

Since mid 2008, I have made the habit of looking at the last quarter, and comparing that traffic to the previous quarter for this site. What I find is an average growth of 20%. That is especially nice as the numbers continue to get bigger. This quarter is looking like it will pull in a 30% growth rate over the previous quarter, and the main reason for this was not site improvements. It was because I started targeting other sources for traffic. Continue reading »

 

Looking into my little feed issue I was having with Feedburner yesterday…get my latest post titled “Invoice”? You were not supposed to. Anyhow, looking into it, I found Socialize. Socialize appears to be a new service for Feedburner for posting your feed onto Twitter.

Where Is Socialize?

To find Socialize, simply log into your Feedburner account, go to Publicize, and then go to Socialize. See the screenshot I took below. Continue reading »

 

The title of this post was partially developed by you! You may be asking at this point, why and how? To answer why, I’m trying to write content that my audience seems to like the most. To answer how, well that is what this post is about.

How Google Analytics Can Reveal Keyword Title Ideas

Using Google Analytics, I decided to look at the top content on this site to get some post ideas. I’ve done this before looking at my Feedburner statistics, and what tags are popular on this site. This method is a little unique though. I wasn’t targeting ideas, I was targeting what keywords within the titles were sparking user interest. Continue reading »
