Google Analytics Changes Reporting Format

Google Analytics Version Update

Google is discontinuing its existing platform for your Google Analytics account.  This account tracks the important activity on your website and/or blog and then reports back to you through its web interface at www.Google.com/Analytics.

Here is what Google has to say:

It’s time to update your Google Analytics scheduled email reports and move them to the new version of Google Analytics. As of June we will no longer be supporting the old emailer and your currently scheduled email reports will stop mailing.

How Google’s Changes Affect You

What this change means to your account is that the reports that you normally receive need to be re-programmed under Google’s new platform.  Examples of the types of reports that can be programmed are:

• Keyword Reports
• Visitor Reports
• Geographical Reports
• Company Name Reports
• Most Popular Content Reports
• Email and Text Message Alerts
• And more…

How To Detect A Corporate Reputation Problem

Reputation Awareness

How concerned are you that your company may have a real reputation problem?

Some leaders mistake their companies for having a reputation problem with poor market conditions, new competitors entering their industry, or a slow news day if bad press has been reported about their firm.

The Warning Signs

Below are a few warning signs (that we have learned from our clients) to be aware of that indicate a reputation problem may exist with your organization:

• Negative commentary appears about you or your company online.

• New business prospects quietly disappear into the arms of your competitors.

• Existing clientele begin to unexpectedly challenge and question the value of your products or services.

• Phone calls, text messages, emails, and other methods of contact go unreturned from trusted sources and contacts.

What to Do About It

Once a reputation problem has been identified with your company, the next step is to contact a specialist in corporate reputation repair. By using The Online Body Guard™, BizHive is able to effectively monitor and repair your corporate reputation so that your corporate brand regains its positive momentum.

Changes Coming For Blogger - Are You Ready?

Blogger, a very popular blog platform, will be changing the way that they allow blog files to be uploaded...for certain users.

Is Your Organization Ready For This Change?

Here is what the team at Blogger has to say:

"FTP [publishing] remains a significant drain on our ability to improve Blogger: only .5% of active blogs are published via FTP — yet the percentage of our engineering resources devoted to supporting FTP vastly exceeds that. On top of this, critical infrastructure that our FTP support relies on at Google will soon become unavailable, which would require that we completely rewrite the code that handles our FTP processing.

Three years ago we launched custom domains to give users the simplicity of Blogger, the scalability of Google hosting, and the flexibility of hosting your blog at your own URL. In evaluating the investment needed to continue supporting FTP, we have decided that we could not justify diverting further engineering resources away from building new features for all users.

For that reason, we are announcing that we will no longer support FTP publishing in Blogger after March 26, 2010. We realize that this will not necessarily be welcome news for some users, and we are committed to making the transition as seamless as possible.

While we recognize that this decision will frustrate some users, we look forward to showing you the many great things on the way."

The business blogging team at BizHive has a solution for the changes that were recently announced by Blogger. If you find your company, or an organization that you know and care about, struggling with what to do next as a user of Blogger; reach out and contact us today.
