The fanfare surrounding Google+ died down a long time ago (aside from a brief resurgence while everyone threatened to leave Facebook following their redesign in September). Google’s “Facebook killer” has so far been nothing more than another flop in the line of Google Buzz and Google Wave.

Google Analytics is an excellent way to track and analyze on-site traffic. However, the UI for Goggle Analytics is not mobile optimized, which presents challenges for those who need to see updates on their mobile device. The Google Analytics Software Design Kit (SDK) and corresponding Application Programming Interface (API) rectify the issue by allowing developers to create their own Apps. Thankfully, there are several well-built, fast and intuitive Apps available. I will focus this blog on the App universe for Android powered devices. While I am inclined to frugality (some might argue parsimony), this blog will present what, in my estimation, are the best available free and paid Android Apps. (more…)

If you thought the black bar on Google’s page was the biggest, most jarring change in their recent redesign, then you probably aren’t really keeping an eye on your AdWords accounts. Now, your paid ads have a new layout and it seems that the humble display URL is getting its time in the limelight.[1] Granted, the new position of the display URL will probably cause users to pay more attention to it and your ad copy writers should now start to focus on making your display URLs more relevant.
