How To Use Social Reports in Google Analytics To Analyze Specific Blog Posts or Content [Tutorial] In March of this year, Google Analytics released a set of new reports for measuring the effectiveness of traffic from social networks. It was a great addition and provides some valuable information about how social is affecting your business. For example, you can view social referrers, content that received traffic from social networks, view conversations across certain social networks, view conversion data (including last click and assisted attribution), how social visitors flow through your site, and more. One question I keep getting from business owners is how to easily analyze a piece of content they are tracking? For example, let’s say a certain blog post went live recently, was heavily shared across social networks, and ended up driving a lot of traffic. Isolating a Blog Post or Piece of ContentFor this tutorial, I’m going to use a recent post of mine, which ended up being popular within the search marketing industry. Back to our example.

Help Mike Essex Break Into Amazon's Top 100 Bestsellers! | Boom Online Marketing Today (Friday 27 July), Mike Essex is trying to achieve something a little bit special. He wants to get his Kindle book, Free Stuff Everyday into the top 100 on Amazon. We grabbed a few mins with Mike to ask him about his latest challenge. So we know that you’re trying to break into the Kindle top 100, but why are you doing it? There’s two reasons. The other key driving force is that I’ve hit the same wall that most new authors face. What are you doing to try to get into the top 100? The bulk of the experiment involves asking people to share a link to the book’s Amazon page. How is it all going so far? It’s been a really crazy week. So because of that it forced me to redouble my efforts, and gave me an extra push to see this project succeed. What can other authors learn from your example? Regardless of the success of the experiment, what I’ve already learnt is that people you already know are a huge marketing resource that everyone should use. What can people do to help? Good luck Mike!
Added Nofollow to Paid Links - How Long for Google to Notice? Google SEO News and Discussion forum at WebmasterWorld I disagree with everything you said. If the main income of the website comes from the paid links, why would they fire the company? How would they get paid? Your statement sounds a lot like paranoia: "Hey, if you are afraid of the high odds of getting in a car accident - don't leave your house". As far as the links - if they are relevant and not a lot of them - you have nothing to worry about. There is nothing wrong with linking out. My advice is to cut the middle man (link company) and work directly with the website owners. Remember that using no-follow in your links simply shows Google that you sell ads.

Mobile Retail Applications: Native v Web Apps In recent years, mobile technology, primarily in Smartphones, has developed to the stage where people are using them in most aspects of their daily life. They use them to check the weather, send emails and connect with their friends. My friend even asks his phone to tell him when to take his food out of the oven. Smartphones have become the modern day Swiss army knife and retailers have been using mobile platforms to generate business from these ever more popular devices in differing ways. With the recent implementation of HTML5 mobile browsers are starting to become more popular with retail companies when they are looking into their mobile Apps. Firstly, I should explain the difference between the two types of Apps and give you a little idea of why this is important to retailers more so than it has been in the recent past. A Native App is software which is specifically designed to run on proprietary operating systems (OS) such as iOS or Android devices.
MozCast Shows Huge Google Changes But Was There An Update? Yesterday, MozCast, Moz's Google ranking volatility tool, reported the highest level of change in Google's search results in the history of MozCast. 113 degrees hot. Typically, on a normal day it will be in the high 60s or low 70s. Why the huge temperature? The other tools such as SERPs.com and SERP Metrics reported normal days for Tuesday. And more importantly, I didn't see any chatter in the SEO forums that would signal a Google search algorithm or ranking update. What set off MozCast? One thing is for sure, I am 99% certain there was no major ranking change yesterday. Heck, even the threads talking about the MozCast numbers have dozens of webmasters saying they didn't see any ranking changes. The threads talking about the MozCast numbers include Google+, BlackHatForums and the ongoing WebmasterWorld. I should note, we did suspect an update on June 19th and Matt Cutts did say there is a multi-week update rolling out now. Forum discussion at Google+, BlackHatForums and WebmasterWorld.
Quick Sprout The Challenges Facing AuthorRank...Sell It To Us Google! A perpetual three way game of cat and mouse is being played between search engines, the virtuous white hatters and the evil gamers of the system with the user standing by oblivious. This post looks at the state of Google’s move towards personas or AuthorRank. Disclaimer: I like PageRank. As Google originally placed merit on networks of links and then subsequently the quality of those links, so with AuthorRank it now seeks to reflect the merit of the content publisher, almost calling the bluff of the original instigator of the link sharing. The theory of AuthorRank appeals to me. And then watch this to see how you get yourself set up. It works in conjunction with the PageRank measurement and works to act as a balance to sites that may have an artificially high score. It has a ranking influence we’re told but I’ve yet to see it quantified to a satisfying level. Sell it to us Google…we’ve got the cheque book out, we’re on the brink of buying… Give us visibility of Author Score.
My Top 5 Most Used Custom Reports in Google Analytics Well over a year ago now, I found myself in a bit of a situation. A new client who had been on Webtrends had decided to switch to Google Analytics and had lost all their previous data. That, in and of itself would be bad enough, but I was faced with taking the data that was available (about eight months worth) and figuring out what the top pages were and what keywords brought those visitors in through Google's organic listings. No problem, right? The only related metrics I was able to view were pageviews. Below are five of my most used Google Analytics Custom Reports. Unique Visitors by Page Get Report This custom report gives you the data I was looking for above. Clicking on the Source associated with your chosen Medium will display the keywords that brought people to this page. Conversions by Date and Time Get Report This report was inspired by Marty Weintraub's article "Google Analytics, Conversion Tracking & Single Segment Reporting Power."
