I've only run a couple of CPC campaigns but even as a reasonably clued up and very technical person I struggle to understand what's going on. Is there software out there that effectively closes the loop between adwords and analyti

This is such interesting stuff. If you go just one step further and plot the carrying capacity of a road against the speed of traffic on it you get a hump which tends towards zero as speed reaches infinity. The significance of that hump is

I'm pleased to see people showing off what you can do with Google docs. I think most people (and even most developers) totally underestimate what's possible with Google Apps Script. A great example of what is possible using Spread

Good article. I know of a startup who had revenue as a KPI but did not include ad-spend or margin. As a result they hit their quarterly revenue target (and got their quarterly bonuses) by amplifying their ad-spend to hundreds of thousands a

While I hate the heavy-handedness that the DMCA operates with and I think it's ridiculous that LL's video was banned it's worth remembering back to pre-YouTube to recall how we got here. Before YouTube there wasn't any c

I'm not sure what you're comparing this to but 9,000 lines of well-written code in a powerful MVC framework is a very significant size. Because there is so little boiler-plate code that is being written, the utility-density of suc
