It’s surprising that such a good tool is not easy to find on the Google Analytics website, especially when it makes measuring online campaigns so darn easy!

For those of you that use Google Analytics there is a tagging feature that allows you to create unique URL’s for all of your campaigns. It gives you the ability to tag every and all links in an email campaign, or even in your PPC efforts. Obviously, Google Analytics is integrated with Google Adwords (if you have your accounts integrated), so you can easily measure these campaigns. However, this tagging tool is especially helpful if you’re participating in other PPC efforts, yes there’s more than just Google Adwords!

Anyway, this tool allows you to enter your campaign information and then produce a unique URL with the tracking data integrated. It will give you a much more accurate picture of what your advertising and emailing is doing for you.

It can be a little tricky to setup at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be tagging everything!

Check it out.

I am a fairly new user of StumbleUpon but I must say, it’s really cool. If I am bored or want to find something different I click the Stumble button on my browser toolbar, and I’m off! A lot of what you come across is crap, but every once in a while you find something cool.

I have used StumbleUpon to promote my own blog and it seems to be driving good traffic every day. They also have a neat advertising program that allows you to get quick traffic to your site for about 5 cents per impression (not visit).

Anyway, I came across this neat site. It allows you to highlight text on any website and send it to someone. So, if I found something interesting buried deep in a forum, I could highlight the good part, and send a link directly to it. Try it out.

It seems silly to me to write a post about a section of my website, but what the heck. I wanted to let folks know there is an absolutely no string attached, free website evaluation I am offering. Of course, I offer a paid one as well, but you’ll still get a nice report for free.

So why the heck am I doing this? Part of the reason is to promote this blog. I am trying to bring new readers to the blog every day, and since the blog is pretty young, that isn’t easy to do. Also, I truly love this stuff! I have evaluated sites for prospective clients plenty of times, and to be honest, I enjoy going through a site with white gloves. Trust me, I will find some dust.

You can read more about the Free Site Evaluation, and how to get one. The long and the short of it is, it’s free, there’s NO obligation (gosh that’s such a cliche), and it will hopefully provide some insight as to where you can imporve your business. Just so you know, almost all of my clients are ecommerce merchants, so if you have some other personal site, or blog, I doubt my evaluation will help much.
