I’ve been playing with the thought of developing a Pepper for Mint for ages, but never got to it. Tonight I decided to do it, and it turned out to be incredibly easy! So I’ve developed a Pepper that has two panes, one displays your Technorati scores like this: The other displays the latest links…
The “Yoast Post” and more
Mel Carson has done a great great post (cough) on the MS AdCenter community blog, thanking me for my work on the AdCenter Analytics plugin. Well, Mel, my pleasure (and kudos for the great headline :) )!
Web Analytics Congress: the learnings
I’ve had a great day at the web analytics congress, the keynotes by Neil Mason and my good friend Avinash Kaushik were inspiring as ever, and Mieke from Independer.nl had a nice presentation. Not much real news in there for me, but very, very inspiring. What I saw today was mostly this though: even though…
Web Analytics Congress in the Netherlands
I’m currently at the web analytics conference here in the Netherlands, where Neil Mason of Applied Insights is doing the keynote speech, saying he doesn’t actually like web analytics, but rather calls it online marketing optimization and I feel strangely at home…
Piwik – Open source webanalytics
I got a tweet from @zjuul today, because he was modifying (and has since released a beta version) my Google Analytics plugin to work with Piwik. Piwik is an open source analytics tool, in it’s very early stages of development. I’ve been looking at it, installing it on this site, and so far, I like…
Heroes coming to Holland
In the coming few weeks, a couple of my friends and heroes are coming to Holland! First, Kris Jones from Pepperjam is coming to do the keynote at Affiliate Dag 2008, the very first Dutch affiliate conference with over 500 people registered already!
WordPress Google Analytics 2.3: XHTML strict
After all the ASP and XHTML strict validation issues with Google Analytics, Google updated the default generated script code. I’ve now updated the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin to version 2.3, which uses this new code. You should really upgrade! Next to that: I’d like to hear from you on which new features you’d like…
A better way of tracking feed subcribes
I use FeedBurner, just like anyone else, to track my subscribers. One thing I really like to measure too though, is the number of feed subscribes, as in the act of subscribing. Now you can simply add onclick handlers for Google Analytics or any other stats package to all your feed links, but that means…
Google Analytics plugin updated!
I’ve just updated my Google Analytics WordPress plugin to version 2.2, it “forces” you to switch to the new tracking code. Image tracking and AdSense tracking should still work. It requires the code to be in the head, as outbound link tracking will still not work correctly otherwise. Before you install it, delete the old…
Image search keyword tracking with the new Google Analytics
While rewriting my Google Analytics for WordPress plugin, I found out that in the new Google Analytics tracking with ga.js, tracking the keyword people used in image search is a lot easier than it was in the old version, as changing the referrer info doesn’t involve rewriting an entire function anymore. You can simply change…
