Web Analytics TV

I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a junkie for web statistics.

I can pour over web stats for hours whilst I try to work out what my web traffic is doing!

Product Listing Ads. The Battle lines are being drawn.

You may not have noticed the rather low key announcement from Google this week but it signals a significant step in Google’s strategy for continued dominance on the Internet.

I’m predicting the start of a revolution in advertising on the Internet in the coming year. In fact it will seem more like a war than a revolution.
