]]> The WMT Team wants to know… What are you doing new years eve? I will be enjoying time with family and friends and will most likely get a little dance in or two. :)

And you can thank the Hello Giggles Team for this beautiful delight: ‪What Are You Doing New Years Eve? by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt‬. Zooey’s voice is heavenly and Joseph is too handsome for words. You can find HG on Facebook and Twitter. Their YouTube channel is VERY entertaining (I especially enjoy Molls’ Five Favorite Things of the Week.) And here is Joseph’s amazing site: http://hitrecord.org/.

Jimmy reminds us that humor is one of the best ways to capture your audience’s attention and get them to remember and talk about you. Please enjoy BOTH of these videos and be sure to share the holiday comedy relief!

]]> Happy Twitter Tuesday I know the work day is almost complete however I could not resist sharing these twitter tools with you today. The list of social media tools keeps growing and growing however it is more important to focus on “how to use” the tools for marketing success rather than “using the tools”. Before you dive deep, plan your strategy, know your audience, and list your goals to make sure these tools increase performance.  Social Media is a privilege not a right.

  • TweetFeed.com: A customizable page that displays related Twitter activity live.
  • TweetChat: TweetChat helps put your blinders on to the Twitter-sphere while you monitor and chat about one topic.
  • TweetReach: TweetReach analyzes the tweets that match your search.
  • Klout: Compare your Klout with connections on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
  • Hashtracking: Track Campaigns, Measure Reach, Calculate Influence, and Create Beautiful Presentations
  • TweetLevel: TweetLevel is a Twitter measurement tool
  • Tweet Grader: Twitter Grader is a free tool that allows you to check the power of your twitter profile compared to millions of other users that have been graded.

Tweet @NickiG for more social media support and I will tweet and blog my answer!

]]> You might have noticed the new version of Google Analytics which is currently being rolled out. Google Analytics v5 will become the default for all users over the next few weeks. Google will also be simultaneously rolling out the report email scheduler and PDF export. The new version of Analytics provides three significant enhancements:

I. A redesigned Google Analytics platform to enable major new functionality
II. A streamlined interface to make it easier to get to the information you want
III. Improved report performance for faster reports
In addition to a redesigned interface that makes it even easier to explore your data, you’ll also notice some significant new features:

New Version of Google Analytics

1. Google Analytics Real-Time Real-Time reporting shows you what’s happening on your site – right now! The reports are updated continuously and each pageview is reported seconds after it occurs on your site. You’ll find Real-Time reports in the ‘Home’ tab.

2. Multi-Channel Funnels See which channels your customers interacted with during the 30 days prior to converting or purchasing. Conversion path data includes interactions with many media channels, including clicks from paid and organic searches, affiliates, social networks, and display ads. Video demo and Usage guide

More and more, visitors are using mobile devices to browse the web. Mobile reports in the new version of Google Analytics help you understand how mobile visitors are interacting with your site. You can even see which mobile devices your visitors use and optimize for those devices.

Flow Visualization is a beautifully designed and highly sophisticated tool for graphically showing how visitors navigate through your site. We’ve completely re-imagined and redesigned the navigation tools available in the old version of Google Analytics. Video demo and Usage guides for Visitor Flow, Goal Flow

Need to check something in the old version? Look in the top right corner of Google Analytics and you’ll see a link for Old Version. (Please note, that the old version will only be available until early next year.)

Want help adjusting to the new version? Contact WMT for Google Analytics support to setup a benchmark report or contact the the Google Analytics Help Center.
Happy Analyzing,
Data Diva
