Another short roundup this week. Most of our staff is away, and have been for the last five days, leaving us without much good input for the Monday roundup.
In this weeks roundup: manipulation of human irrationality, more CSS3, and Firefox increases in market share

Next up in the series of most useful Google Analytics reports is the Map Overlay report.
The Map Overlay report is found under the Visitors tab. Simply put, this report allows you to see (visually on a map) where your visitors are located and how visitors from different locations behave.
Note: Google Analytics captures the visitors IP address, which is a piece of Personally Identifiable information (PII), just long enough to use to for a geo-IP look up. After GA has thrown out the IP address it still knows where each IP was located, and can plot a visitors location on the map.

Whenever we're about to launch a new experiment, I always give clients the same speech. It goes something like this:
"You probably won't be able to resist logging into GWO and checking the results every day. But always bear in mind that experiments cannot yield reliable results until they have run long enough to gather sufficient data. Early results are often surprising -- even alarming -- but you must resist jumping to conclusions. Let the experiment run its course."

A few weeks ago, ROI revolution published a great post about an updated script for integrating Website Optimizer with your Google Analytics reports. This script uses some of the new functions within the siteopt.js file I posted about last week.
Here's a link to the original post:
Website Optimizer Wednesdays - Google Website Optimizer and Google Analytics Renew Their Vows
This is basically an updated version of a script they released 18 months previously.

This is our first week with everyone back on task. Shorter round-up, again, since most of our staff has been away.
If you like this post then please consider subscribing to our RSS feed.Well, I am away for Christmas week, so this post has to get finished early, meaning that we're a little short of content.
This week we have interface tricks for Omniture's SiteCatalyst, some SEO science on why you should sometimes "avoid the average", research on how social media links affect ranking, and our own Erik Vold on how to modify adword tracking code.

I've written more papers on surveillance as power, the panopticon, plague theory, balancing surveillance power between corporate, government, and social spheres, the panoptic society, cellphone cameras, cookies, the information society, information-databases and the value of information, than I care to account for.
Now I work for a company that specializes in Google Analytics. Go figure.
In the spirit of the Christmas season, and privacy concerns—what with age old threats of panoptic surveillance from the north pole—I figured that I should take a look at how Google watches you, and whether you should care.

I'm always up for a game. Mysteries, puzzles, codes... I love them all. And as I soon discovered, dumoulin.com is teeming with them!
First thing I did was open a product description page. Notable by its absence was a link or button reading "Add to Cart". But I did spot an icon depicting an arrow pointing into a shopping cart. Ahhh... secret code. Very clever!
