Marking the essentials (or better essentials based on your your current understanding) is different from marking whole sections or pages. I remember one of my teachers saying he needs some books like Goethes Faust about every 10 years becau

If I save on time with development (as I do) I come out net positive. And why shouldn't I pay for a great tool? As said it is a question of what to value more. My time. Working with a great tool (imho) or saving a few bucks. But everyb

Sounds great. What did you do? How did you structure client communications to reduce this 'being on call' feeling, if I may ask. That is something I struggle with currently. Working a full-time job and freelancing on the side as w

Basically there is nothing wrong with WP. It is maybe too bloated for some. Too riddled with insecurities. Too far used (and therefore an interesting target). A bit like using windows. Some prefer Mac, some *nix. Some are put off by php. So

You are very welcome. In the end you are not loosing this data. It is just one step removed. So you need to think about extracting it from Google Ads into Excel/Google Sheets (or an external dashboarding solution) and combining it with

It is PD (Personal Data). The same way an IP or any 'anonymous' identifier from web analytics is. So from my understanding of the GDPR regulations this is a clear violation.

Actionable depends on your needs. As always the typical answer you receive from an analyst is: It depends. Sorry, couldn't resist the in joke of the team I am part of. But let me try an example. Visits as a global metric don't tel

A plausible alternative depends on your use case. If you just want basic numbers (visitors, visits, page views, few interactions tracked) one can probably chose any of the myriad of alternatives like fathom, Plausible, Matomo, and so on. Wh

The data migration might stem from the fact that the underlying data model is so totally different, that it just might not be possible to migrate anything. GA3 and GA4 are so different, it isn't like the US and Russia, it is Earth and

In principle I agree. Still I see structural differences in comic books and the abuse potential of psychological principles behind skinner boxes (esp. randomized rewards). We are basically training ourselves with systems like these to press
