Web Design & Search Optimization by Cuis InteractiveIf you’re anything like me, a Geek, you probably have more than 1 RSS feed and multiple outlets that you would potentially LIKE to display them in. But most of these outlets (think: Facebook, Twitter, your Blog, etc…) pin you down to just 1 feed.
Allow me to introduce you to ChimpFeedr: enter a bunch of RSS feeds into ChimpFeedr, and they’ll mash ‘em up into one master RSS feed. Then, maybe you can use that master feed for your social outlets!

Google Analytics is a reliable enterprise-level web analytics application that get’s tied into your website, your blog, and even your e-commerce store. Google Analytics is intelligent, offers advanced reporting and data segmentation, and is easily customizable.
But it’s most important attribute is: it’s gratis.
Do not allow it’s free nature to nurture disbelief that free solutions are resigned exclusively in small organizations or somehow diminished in its capacity to provide enterprise-level value. In a recent survey by Forrester Consulting to evaluate the use of Web Analytics within US-based enterprise organizations, a staggering 71% used “free” tools in some capacity.

Web analytics programs that ascend beyond mere clicks and visits are ones that derive insight from their data.

Companies that apply Web analytics in this manner obliterate guesswork marketing and develop online programs with the evidence of past performance, projected outcomes, and clear expectations of returns.
