I just got back from Omniture Summit ‘08 - and what a great experience it was! Taking place up in Omniture’s home city, Salt Lake City (and what a beautiful city it is), I was fascinated by seeing and meeting so many like-minded web analysts and online marketers.

Buy.com. Now that is a perplexing online shopping website that has been around for years, with some dizzying highs and troubling lows. I was just using them recently and thought it would be great to review how they are currently doing, and compare them to the (in my opinion) online shopping industry leaders, Amazon.com.

MyBlogLog have been around for quite a while now and are gaining significant users in the blog world. Yahoo even bought them in January this year. They claim they turn your blog into a community and allow you to connect with fellow readers. This is a great idea in theory, but I feel that MyBlogLog [...]

Maybe that’s a ’slight’ exaggeration, but the latest search engine market share rankings are in. No surprising Google is still dominating second placed Yahoo, but the real interesting news is that MSN is growing faster than both of them in terms of share of searches! Live search actully grew 77.4% in the last year, compared to Google, [...]

One of my favorite blogs have just come up with a great idea! They have just launched a landing page makeover clinic - CopyBlogger.com. First up to be made-over is SEOmoz.org (a leading SEO blog, with great free SEO tools - another one of my favorite blogs). And their makeover ‘makes’ for great reading. Take a look:

Being a serious blogger, I am forever looking on websites for that perfect relevant image that is worth a thousand words. So I thought I would give my two cents about the different options for finding images online.
