I normally don’t write articles on new analytics software but this one is really cool. It has an Ajax interface and virtually live data. Within 10 minutes of installing the tracking code you can see live statistics. Again I have been known to promote Google Analytics very highly as in my opinion it is the best analytics software on the web. My stance on that has not changed however I will use Clicky Web Analytics 2.0 side-by-side with Google Analytics. There are things I like about each tool and each has things the other doesn’t. I am pleased with the setup and ease of use of Clicky Web Analytics 2.0
Very easy to use and understand, they did a good job of putting it together and making it look good and still provide the stats we all want.

I was reading a post by Jennifer at Jensense.com yesterday about the Adsense arbitrage and I found it interesting. Ever since the Adsense arbitrage take off I knew Google would eventually deal with this problem. Of course it means throwing out some very high-profit publisher accounts, some which make 10-15k or even more. So Google isn’t playing favoritism here, they are dealing with the problem as a whole which I am very happy to see. I hate it when companies single out the little guys or just part of the problem, deal with it all or leave it be. Well it appears that Google will be shutting down publisher accounts which practice adsense arbitrage and MFA sites, according to Google you will get to keep any money you have made upto this point and have till June 1st to find a new ad network but after that your out. Personally I think Google did that on purpose so Yahoo would get them all (more…)

I have believed for a long time now that Google has had in the works a user behavior factoring system. This is to say that that the behavior of users during searches made at Google will effect the Google results. This means that some of your sites, those ones that don’t deserve the positions they claim, the ones that don’t have an ounce of usefulness to the world, those pages may soon go. I have always said white hat was best, maybe now it will be even better.
Okay, okay back to the topic at hand…
