New SEO Reports in Google Analytics
Tips on Using the New Data to Your Advantage
With the new Google Analytics there are oodles of new reports and features that are going to help you get the most out of your data. At the moment you can still switch between the ‘old’ version of analytics and the new, but this function is going to be phased out over the next couple of months, so it makes sense to start getting used to it now. After getting over the shock of everything being in slightly different place and finally locating the settings (it’s accessible from every screen via the cog logo that Google uses in other products – sometimes the things that are right under your nose are hardest to see!) I am pleased to report that the new features are so good that it is easy to prefer the new look.

Favourite Mac Apps
One of the great things about being an iOS developer is getting to use some really cool Mac software. In this blog post I’m going to give you a quick overview of some of my favourite Mac apps.
Here at One Result we have lots of projects all going on simultaneously. Keeping track of all the actions that need to be completed is a challenge. OmniFocus is an excellent personal task manager. Everything that I do at work has an associated action in OmniFocus. When I’m blocked on a task, maybe waiting for a client to sign off on a sprint or the for the designers to produce some fantastic artwork, I simply tell OmniFocus that the project is paused. Every morning we have a scrum to communicate what we did yesterday and the state of the projects we are working on. OmniFocus can instantly tell me exactly what I did and when it was completed.
Democratisation of Assistive Devices for individuals with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder
We recently posted about the use of iPad apps in the medical industry, where they are often used for presentations, analysis and learning. Soon, even diagnosis via app could be a possibility. However, iPad apps can also be used by those who need to improve skills and support developmental progress. One area where iPad apps have really taken off is in the area of assistive devices for individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
SEO and PPC Together
What SEO Monkeys Can Learn from PPC-ers
I mean no disrespect to SEO-ers in the subtitle of this post. It is, in fact, more of an affectionate term. I use SEO and PPC together myself and this is where I got the idea for this post from. There have been a few different posts on this topic floating around the blogosphere recently, so I thought it best to add my two-pennies worth. There are a number of PPC traits that can help you to reap benefits in the search engine optimization game.
