Book Review: SEO Search Engine Optimization Bible
SEO Bible by Jerri L. Ledford
(ISBN: 978-0-470-17500-2) As usual I have not purchased this book, I have, however, borrowed it from the Ottawa Public Library.

Analytics is now not reporting anything?
That is interesting, because the Adsense reports show lots of nice activity on my web site, yet Google Analytics report ZERO visitors, which seems really strange. I must have knocked something off the apple cart, and analytics has lost me or something. It does say it is receiving data, which is good, but there is [...]
Google Analytics Changes
Yes, the boys and girls and Google are working hard to keep us bloggers looking at more data to try to figure out why we work for Slave Wages, but Google Analytics has a new Beta version out that consolidates data nicely, thank you. I will poke around and see whether this helps me understand [...]
Traffic Back Up
Yes, after submitting to a few carnivals my article and Zen and the Art of Financial Planning I seem to have picked up my traffic again, which is good and my RSS subscription rate is back at about 50. I really need to push forward to get that closer to 100 and get the traffic [...]

Analytics not the problem
So at least the folks at Google Analytics were nice enough to answer my e-mail about why my site seems to be on the Google “no look” list. Initially they had problems finding my site, but then once they found it, they said there was no problems with the Analytics side of things (did I [...]
I have been blacklisted by Google?
So I have noticed that my hit counts have been rather flat for the past few weeks, and wasn’t really sure what was going on for the Canadian Financial Opinions site. I finally tweaked to when I looked at the analysis from my Google Analytics output (a very useful tool that you should add to [...]
