Are you aware of CrazyEgg.com? If not then you should check it out. There once was a time when the only data you could retrieve about your users was from your server log files. Then Google Analytics came into the picture and started adding powerful free analytical tools for webmasters. You should be using Analytics and their variety of testing tools. However, one of the items that Analytics hasn't refined is the Overlay feature that shows how many times each link on a particular page is clicked.
Overlay in Google counts ALL clicks for a particular link and thus the data for ONE particular page isn't correct. In comes CrazyEgg that manages to track individual click by page and not by site. Not only do they have an accurate count of clicks on links, they have cool heatmap and confetti views that show you where people click (precisely where), and where that user came from (color coded).
Add another weapon to your analytics arsenal because after all, the only competitive advantage you have online is your own brand and data.

Also, you need to keep in mind some rules when thinking about how your web site will rank in the search engines.
Firstly, web sites that are 100% flash are generally invisible to the search engines. Read the rest of this entry »

Q. Describe your experience with the Distinct SEO team.
It was quite wonderful, their team was quite knowledgeable and always VERY quick to email questions and concerns. They are very knowledgeable in what they do and they do it VERY well.
I really appreciate alternative voices, not just because they go against the grain, but because it's necessary to have opposition to expand perspectives. No point having a company or industry with a bunch of yes-men, you'll never discover or fix problems. Take a read on one of my favorite 'alternative perspective web marketing' blogs on the topic of 'Google Stealing Traffic'.
Great read, and brings up a few questions that I want to muse about here. Read the rest of this entry »

You don't hear much about post modernism outside of philosophy and theology. Fact is, post-modernism is the framework by which people think. Not all people mind you. Generally those under 35 look at the world through the lens of a postmodernist. An interesting article came out on how leadership in business will have to adapt to engage the postmodern generation in the workforce.
