Google Analytics Seminar
Despite the fact that my photograph leaves much to be desired, it looks like Google has posted news of our Google Analytics training seminar, which will be held on March 25th and 26th in Raleigh.
I must admit, it’s a little crazy seeing my mug anywhere on the Google.com domain.
Exact Keyword Tracking Update
I’ve posted an update to my Google Analytics Keyword Sleuth, over on the ROI Revolution blog. It’s been rather popular since I announced it last April, but due to the new JavaScript being used for Google Analytics accounts, it was time for an update.
This was originally posted here on Oldbie last April.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
Oh Boy. Gdrive. For Real. Uh-huh.
From the WSJ:
“Google is preparing a service that would let users store on its computers essentially all of the files they might keep on their personal-computer hard drives — such as word-processing documents, digital music, video clips and images, say people familiar with the matter… The Mountain View, Calif., company plans to provide some free storage, with additional storage allotments available for a fee, say the people familiar with the matter. Planned pricing isn’t known.”
Well, hey! If “people familiar with the matter” say it’s going to happen, it’s gotta be true!
Way to go, WSJ. Citing your sources like a pro!
More Work For the Webmaster
Latest article is up at ROI. This one is about not stepping on the toes of your Google Analytics (or any script-based analytics) installation.
Which raises the question: do analytics even have toes?
Bonus points because I was able to insert both a reference to World of Warcraft and to JoCo.
Google Analytics and Exact Search Queries
Update: This data is now available by default within the Google Analytics interface. Just head on over to the Advertising > AdWords > Matched Search Queries report and knock yourself out. My advice? Don’t fiddle around with your GA code to get this data, because it’s built-in now!
I just wanted to point out an article I wrote for ROI last week which details something that many, many AdWords (and other paid search) users might find interesting. Google Analytics, by default, will show you a visitor’s bid term for your paid search advertisement. It will not, however, show you the exact search query typed into the search engine by the visitor.
So, I thought I’d fix that, because it’s pretty useful stuff. Check it out, if you’re at all interested: Exact Keyword Tracking with Google Analytics, Revisited
