My love for Google continues to grow. Sure they are Big Brother but when they provide the services they do, it seems worth it.
In my perusing (I MUST stop using that word so much), I come across a ton of features, widgets, add-ons and tools and when I find one I think you can't live without, I let you know.
I just started using Google Analytics which is a tool to help web developers and bloggers keep track of their visitors and their stats. I also use feedburner (Google owned- go figure) whose feed flare provides lots of stats but Google Analytics provides even more information and has it organized in an intuitive manner than only Google can pull off. A simple copy and paste of a code snippet is all you need to be tracking everything you want to know about your visitors. It's like google is letting you be big brother to all your visitors, allowing you to target your content (sound familiar).
It will even integrate with your Adords account (how convenient).
So for all you beginner and novice bloggers out there. Get a Goolge account and start using Google Analytics.
Let me know what you think.

Love Google Analytics. I can't be bothered to use all of the options it has, but it's helpful for me to see which of my posts are getting the most links, etc.
I hope I can figure this one out, it sounds like a cool tool!
Eat this big brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huh . . .didn't know . . . only found out about technorati a couple of days ago . . . go figure.
I have a statmeter at the bottom of my blog. It's weird. I pretty much can figure out who visited when, just by checking on the location of the visitors . . . but I don't have that much traffic.
I'm a cyberstalker, yes I am, oh yes I am . . .
