MDB2

I posted on MyDataBook recently so I felt I should inform anyone considering an install that MDB2 has been released. You can check out the demo here (change log is also available). It’s a very useful tool if you like to manage your life online. However, I must warn you that it has no Outlook integration.

Some of the new features include recurring reminders and events, customizable fields, and a much improved interface. If you have any more questions about the script or need help installing it let me know.

Check out a screenshot.

Updated 1/3/2005 – It would appear I need to do some explaining. I’ve received a few emails regarding MyDataBook. The script isn’t built for the business world in my opinion. This is what I use for personal use. For business I use SugarCRM to manage clients. You should check it out.

Demystified

I picked up Web Analytics Demystified by Eric Peterson the other day. This book came highly recommended and although I have not yet completed it, I strongly advise it to anyone interested in the field. I believe web analytics is a field that is mistakenly overlooked by small and mid-sized companies. Many businesses pay big bucks for search engine marketing. However, they have no plan once a visitor has entered the site. MidScape has recenly added web analytics services and can improve your ROI success.

*More to come on web analytics as I come across topics of interest.

Turkey Day SEO Tips

Tip – Make sure to take advantage of header tags by loading them with core keywords.
Ex. – Within my H1, H2, or H3 tags I attempt to always include “Alex McArthur” and other category keywords on this site.

Warning – Don’t use links within header tags. Matt Cutts, a google employee, warns against this practive.

Happy Turkey Day. Have a safe holiday.
