The behavior of some web surfers might cause web-counters to overestimate the number of visitors that you are actually getting.


The article also gives some column inches to the importance of time spent on sites by individual users, which we have considered to be an important indicator for years.

FWM Clients are great! You deserve it! I would give each of you one if we could afford it. Hey, maybe one day...

I don?t even have one yet, but I gave one to my good buddy Ben Glass for his big 5-0 birthday recently. He loves it.

So what?s the catch? No big deal, I am just looking for testimonials from you all. Now, I know many or most of you would be happy to simply give us testimonials because you know that we work very hard to help you be successful on the web and whenever you say something or write something nice, I ask if I can use it and you all always say yes. We appreciate this very much, no doubt.

But I want to make this FUN!

Please email us with your best testimonial about our services, design, seo, video, good looks, unhealthy egos, whatever you want. We will decide which one is the best and you win an Apple iTouch.

That?s not all I?m gonna do. If it?s really, really good and meaningful and I can tell it really came from your heart, I will give you a month of CMP for FREE! (MY discretion)

So what do you have to lose? Nothing?

What do you have to GAIN? Besides one of the coolest toys out there (iTouch), you will get our tremendous gratitude!! YAY!

Hint - be creative, video testimonials are the best, then audio, then text. So think that way. The Testimonial Contest deadline is May 31, 2008. We will announce the winner on June 6th, 2008. We reserve the right to use all submissions on our website and in our marketing materials.

Now, ?relevant? has gotten bigger, even ?universal.?

Google ?Universal Search,? which we are expecting to see in November, lists maps, news, images and books related to a search query. Right now, you can get these returns by clicking on different tabs on the Google search bar. In just a few months, they will be combined into one. Video will be next!

Check out the Universal Search Article

OK, I already admitted to not reading the paper because I don't like being depressed, but I don't like not knowing what's going on either. So, my wife reads the paper and tells me all the happy things!

I just added to my library an interesting article about whether Google is all that it is cracked up to be. The gist is that there are always people smarter than you. Google is becoming so big and so dependent on Pay-Per-Click that other smaller search companies have an opportunity if they play their cards right.

Please read this article about Google Search that was in the Washington Post on August 9th, 2007 by Rob Pegoraro. Interesting!!
