SEO effects of my blog being down for a month
So, if you’ve been hanging around these parts for awhile, you’ll remember that this blog was down for about a month. Down, down, not just not being updated, but server down. It’s been back up for about two weeks and things have mostly shaken out - and I’m seeing what SEO effects occurred because of [...]

Mozilla’s data project could be useful, but still biased.
UPDATED Wed May 14 16:55:17 EDT 2008
Online metrics are hard enough when you’ve limited it to just a specific site with all the help the metric measurer could want. It becomes orders of magnitude harder to try and figure out this information internet wide. It seems like Mozilla is planning on stepping into that ring.

Google Analytics now with 300% more granularity!
Imagine, just imagine, my delight when I went my Google Analytics page yesterday and discovered some buttons over the graph that said Hour, Day, Week and Month. Are you done imagining? Good. I hope it was a lot, because I was pretty psyched. That’s one of the key features that’s really been missing from GA [...]
Review: Enquisite Pro, search analytics
I’ve been using Enquisite for about a year now and really liking it. It’s an analytics service that you can add to your website that tracks in great detail how you’re doing as far as the myriad search engines are concerned. Now, post electropacolypse, I just logged back in after a few weeks of not [...]
Google Analytics Benchmarks
UPDATED: Fri Mar 28 16:34:35 EDT 2008
A bit ago Google Analytics quietly put in a new feature that you could opt into - their benchmarks. It was going to, in aggregate, show you some stats comparing your site’s performance to a jury of its peers. So, dutifully, I signed up but all I got was [...]
RSS Subscriber Habits
It’s been 5 months now since I started tracking RSS subscriptions on Google Analytics. I thought I knew what I was going to see based on how I use RSS. I was so very wrong… While my site gets neither a ton of traffic nor a ton of subscribers there’s a reasonable amount of data [...]
New Google Analytics Comparison Feature
Huh, I just was perusing the ol’ Google Analytics when I noticed a new line in the date range selection box. It said “Comparing to: Site (?)”.
“What’s that?” I think to myself. Well, looks like Google has quietly rolled out a new beta feature that’s really nice! You have a choice of comparing to site [...]
PageRank, worth it or not?
UDPATE: Andy Beard posts about more PR craziness. While I think it’s unfortunate and makes PR more unreliable, I still don’t believe that it is worthless - comparing the number of heavily affected sites vs. the total number of sites on the internet, I think only a very tiny portion are really affected. What is [...]
Google Analytics Goal Tracking
So, I’ve been playing around with Google Analytics for awhile now, getting a sense of what’s what. Something that I haven’t really checked out, though, was it’s goal tracking abilities. Basically goals are urls on your site that you designate as special - for example a magazine site may designate the confirmation page of a [...]
Google’s enduring love
Well, a specific portion of the webnet is talking about the latest big change to Google’s ranking algorithms that seem to have spanked many of the most prominent websites. You, my valued ad-clicking reader, will be relieved… relieved to know that the pagerank of this very site stands firm at a modest, but increasingly interesting [...]
