DISQUS

We recently published a white paper, “Small Business Guide to Web-Based Video Marketing,” which deals with how small business owners and marketing directors can use video to grow their business.

I can vouch for the TrackPageview tactic mentioned above -- most of my clients' sites are not e-commerce sites, making the whole game of defining and researching conversions really slippery. But adding this little snippet of code to every outbound link makes a lot of sense. CAUTION--even though Google recommends you drop the GA code way down at the bottom of the page, for TrackPageview to work, it's going to have to be near the top... or at least north of any mention of TrackPageview.

Now if only Google would allow us to set more than four goals for each site, then we'd be in great shape.

Nice post -- but I urge you to use more caution in using the word "world." We live in America, where for many generations $12-15 a gallon was far-fetched. But in many other parts of the world, it's much closer to reality and has been that way for quite a long time. I agree with the spirit of your position, but out of respect for diverse cultures with diverse approaches to consumption of the world's finite resources -- please don't confuse America with "the world."

This is an excellent primer in social media marketing. I think in future posts you can also look at white-labeled social media products for larger installations -- Ning comes to mind.

I'm guessing that one plausible reason would be, enabling "search by date" might also expose some of the shortcomings in the search engines' spiders. We know there is so much content they don't crawl every day... but it is likely in their best overall interest to keep awareness of that fact to a minimum...
