Google Analytics Getting WAY Better

Oh it’s a glorious day, yet frustrating at the same time. Google has announced a whole slew of very valuable additions to Google Analytics, which I already have an infinite list of uses for. The only catch is that they aren’t really available yet. They’re due in the ‘coming weeks’, but I need them now!

Enhancements include: Custom Reporting, Advanced Segmentation, Motion Charts, a New Dashboard, Data Export API, and more. it’s such a tease, they have online tutorial videos, how to sections and more, yet none of the features are available to me yet. Arrrrrg.

A Search Engine Doing SEO? Huh? Will Yahoo?

Came across an interesting post on WebProNews about Yahoo’s potential venture into Search Engine Optimization tips. Obviously search engines usually shy away from SEO, as it has a bit of a reputation of ‘tricking’ search engines into ranking sites higher than they naturally deserve. Yahoo on the other hand has applied for an SEO related patent, that gets you wondering just what they might be up to.

Maybe it’s a sign of changing times. Old-school black hat SEO and link pyramid schemes are a dying breed anyways, perhaps Yahoo will simply show developers that a good, modern site with good, fresh content and effective use for multi media may be all you need!
