Every blogger loves statistics. It’s nice to know how many people came to our sites, how they got there, what they read, how long they spent and where they went when they left. It’s a comforting feeling knowing exactly what’s going on with your site and we even have services like Woopra and Google Analytics Realtime that can follow what’s going on with your site right now. But as neat as all of that is, as anyone who uses two or more systems knows already, these stats are far from perfect. Simply put, there’s a lot of wiggle room when it comes to getting those numbers and, despite having over a decade to perfect and hone our stat-gathering abilities, we seem to actually be getting farther away from firm, consistent information. How so? There are actually too many ways to count. But here are just five ways of the more important ways that the stats you’re looking at every day are becoming less and less accurate and, more importantly, what you can do about it (if anything)

In general, I would say that most bloggers are technologically savvy. They usually love social media, love trying new plugins and designs for the blog, and of course love their smartphones. I know that I can see my emails and Facebook messages with the click of a button, I can let everyone know where I am through my Foursquare app, and I get tweets in the form of a text message so I know exactly what someone is mentioning me through Twitter, and I can do all of this on my smartphone. Needless to say, it goes everywhere with me. I quickly discovered that there are many more apps to help me with my blogging than I had realized. While there are quite a few apps dedicated to helping you write a blog post, I was more concerned with apps that help every part of blogging EXCEPT the writing (I have a hard enough time sitting down at a computer and writing a blog post sometimes; there was no way I was interested in writing an entire post on my phone). Below is a list of a few of the IPhone apps that I found to be very helpful apps for bloggers: IPhone Apps That No Blogger Should Live Without 1. Awesome Note – I like this app because it does it all: takes notes, organizes information, and creates a calendar. You can customize the app in any way you like for easy use

Racking up thousands of pageviews and unique visitors might make you feel as if your work is more valuable then it use to be, however in the eyes of advertisers a websites success is based on more than just the number of people it reaches. One of the most important factors is the amount of time users spend on your website, known as “time on site.” While there are many ways you can increase your blogs “time on site” numbers the following three options are simple to implement and can be placed on many of your top posts. 1. Add Video In Proper Placement Settings Video in and of itself will typically increase “time on site” numbers because users are forced to sit through a video to learn more about your post, however the placement of video can drastically increase the chance that users actually watch your videos. I often notice that blog posts will show a video at the top of the post, while that placement might mean users will engage with the video immediately it also lends itself to users leaving after gaining knowledge of your topic via the video. Testing on several large scale websites I manage have shown that placing a video in the middle of a post is best for “time on site” engagement

So when Google forgot it’s very own motto – yes, the motto that they came up with way before becoming an IPO – “Don’t be evil” – social networking sites besides Google have come out with a tool that should sure remind Google that it focus must remain on the user. So, the engineers of various networking sites came together in the last weekend of Jan, this new year, and devised a perfect solution: The “Focus On The User” tool. This is basically a bookmarklet which needs to be added to your bookmark tab. ? It’s simple. Simply go onto the site, and drag the bookmarklet tool to your browser – Firefox (IMAGE1) or Chrome (IMAGE2) or any other browser. Why is this tool important? And what’s so wrong about search plus your world
