| Twitter Follower Tool to help find local tweeps I was looking through my analytics and it seems like there are three key phrases that continue to drive Google search traffic to my blog.
Twitter Follower and Twitter Followers
Twitter Follower Tool and Twitter Follower Tools
Twitter Follower Management
I was a bit surprised that Google views Tycoon Blogger as an authority when it comes to Twitter Follower Tools, but instead of question it, I have decided to embrace it and will continue to write posts about Twitter Tools that help Manage your Followers.
With that being said, I wanted to share with you a new Twitter Tool that I discovered called Locafollow . Locafollow is an easy to use Twitter app that makes it easy for you to locate Twitter users by searching on their profile and location fields.
The thing that is cool about this app is the fact that they use Google to search on text that appears in close proximity to the bio and location fields. This is a major advantage over Twitters current search capabilities.
Locafollow co A Blogaversary Treat: Children of the 90s Favorite Analytics Sear… brThankfully, I am the almighty arbiter in ascertaining what exactly constitutes a treat--whether you like it or not. The real question on my mind is, how do all of you get here? I didn't issue any personal handwritten invitations (at least not lately, you see, my calligraphy ink well has run dry), so many of you travel here through the magic of Google. I get about 400 daily visitors who stop by here via Google search, and through the magic of Google Analytics tracking data, I've learned a great deal about what exactly brings people here.In honor of the blogaversary I totally forgot about yesterday, I thought I'd share with you just a few of the many, many hilarious search terms I've seen in the past few weeks. Apparently the answer to how some of you got here involves some truly bizarre Googling. Don't worry, though, I'm not here to judge. Actually, that was a boldfaced lie. My major purpose is to judge. All in good fun, and all that, but some of these just can't go unsnarked. It wou Why You Should Use Google Analytics To Help You Blog I’ve found blogging to be an absolute blast to do, but today I wanted to share about a tool that helps me a ton in doing it. Well it’s actually a service Google provides called Analytics. Here’s their website www.google.com/analytics. If you write for a blog you need to use this.What Google Analytics does is tracks the web traffic coming into your blog, but it will tell you incredibly detailed stats about each visit and visitor. It might sound like a simple service, but here are some ways it helps me. Hopefully it can help you too!Here are the stats I find most useful and why:Visits - Do you wonder how many people are coming to read your latest post? Well Analytics most basic feature answers that question by telling you how many people are coming to your site. It breaks down by day and you can adjust the filter to show the last month, 6 months, year, ect. This is a really nice feature to have, because knowing people are reading your stuff will encourage you to keep writin The Forgotten Split Test – a 3 Year Test! I was writing a post for the Dave Naylor blog about Google Analytics and Website Optimizer when I thought “have I ever done a split test?”, so I logged into Google Website Optimizer briefly and noticed the following test from 9th May 2007! And it was still running!!!
I’m not entirely sure what is happening over time, but it seems as those my initial test increased conversions by around 33%. But it seems over time that the effectiveness of this has decreased. The test in question was for an old site, originally designed by SEO Doofus, when he was at 9XB (sorry to point the finger Carps).
Here is the original:
And here is the alternative which performed significantly better (awful design I know – but it shows how it was a user interface problem rather than a “style” problem):
So this awfully designed changed actually increased conversions coming through the home page by 35%!!! So can anyone explain the convergence of the split test over time?
