Re: What I Enjoyed Reading This Week - June 11
- Hi Evan,
Thank you for the reading material. I look forward to the general release later this month as outlined in the 'Google Analytics To Add Search Query Data From Webmaster Tools' article.
Anything that helps us to understand maximise extra data from Google Analytics can only be of benefit.

Re: From $0.30 to $300 / Day on Google AdSense Part 1 - How To M
- HI Evan,
Look forward to hearing more. I like the point that you brought out with "testing." Google has some amazing tools that can help website owners track everything. From Google Adsense reporting to Google Analytic to Google Conversion and most recently Google Goal Tracking.
Between all of those tools a website owner should know exactly what type of traffic is converting & making them money and what type of traffic is not. I even use Google PPC to estimate organic search engine traffic!
Website owners would do well to follow your lead and create a base, and then test off that base in regards to advertising.

I thought I'd been a bit dumb, but when I checked the Google Keyword Tool today I couldn't find the CPC info, so thanks for mentioning that I need to turn it on!
Re: How To Pick Keywords To Rank For
- Hi Anelly,
You can also use the Google Keyword Tool to get # of searches per month for each keyword. I find it to be the most accurate measure because it's using Google's actual data.
