It’s killing me!!! A new feature for Google Analytics is rolling out, and though they have given it to me on some of my accounts, they have not given it to me for Best Web Image yet.
Google is now slowly releasing the Annotations feature for their analytics. It allows you to make a comment about a specific date. This is something I have already been practicing using Microsoft’s Outlook Journal. I call it Journal Analytics. 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.

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 »

I may be jumping the gun here a little. This morning I decided to take a look at my stats to see how the Tweetmeme button is working out on this site since I added it. If you look at my past posts you will see that the button itself has not been heavily used, but the important thing to note is that it is being used. Just one tweet by a user with tons of followers could dump in some real traffic. Continue reading »
Yesterday I received an email from one of you asking me where the graph came from on my recent post, Get Free Usability and Design Tips by Not Subscribing.
The graph came from FeedCompare.com. All you have to do is type in the Feedburner name into the form, and their you go, a two year history of numbers graphed just for you. Use BestWebImage to give it a try. When you do, make sure you look at the two year view. You can see why I am such a huge fan of my new method for getting “subscribers”. Continue reading »
Google’s Webmaster Tools unleashed a pretty cool tool today to help you improve your websites load time. The tool is called Site Performance, located under the labs portion in the Webmaster Tools.
Looking at my own graph, it appears they have been tracking average load times since the end of July. For this site, the average load time is 2.4 seconds. Something I’m pretty happy about, but wouldn’t mind finding a way to bring it even lower. Continue reading »
Back in October I mentioned Google Analytics new feature Advanced Segments, and how you can use it to track visitors coming in through email. Here is the post: How to Use Google Analytics to Track Your Email Campaigns. Since then I have become a big fan of this new feature, and as far as I am concerned, they can take the beta icon off it now. Below are a six of my favorites, and thanks to Google, they make them easy to share.
My Six Favorite Custom Advanced Segments
To add these to your Google Analytics account simply click on the link and then save it by clicking Create Segment. See screenshot below on how to save. Continue reading »
Google’s Webmaster Tools Dashboard now comes complete with a keyword significance chart graphing your keywords. They rank the keywords found on your site by count, and in their words should “reflect the subject matter of your site”.
The list displays only one word keyword phrases, and appears to go as low as three characters. It noticed BWI on this site without a problem. I’m just wondering why usability isn’t over design for this site.
The unfortunate part about this new feature is the fact that when you download the list in CSV format, numeric values are not show along with the keywords. It’s just a list of words, but at least they are prioritized order.
