Open source...

The world is going the open source way are you ?

What is open source? Is it free?

Open source softwares are those softwares whose source code is open for editing and modification Unlike windows where we buy the software but for changing it we need to buy the patch for it.

Open softwares are like buying a car. We buy a car and we are the owner now, we can do whatever we want to do to the car, change the body, engine, color and the company is no way bothered.

This category of open softwares will introduce to you some very good open source softwares which are at times better than the proprietory softwares yet they are also free at times.

so keep a tab at this space.

Google Analytics- Make profit-generating improvements to your advertising and website.

Hi all,

Google wont keep quiet and neither me...

Google has come up with yet another path breaking technology called google analytics.

Google Analytics shows you how people found your site, how they explored it, and how you can enhance their visitor experience. Improve your website return on investment, increase conversions, and make more money on the web.

With over 80 reports, your free Google Analytics account will track visitors through your site, and will keep track of the performance of your marketing campaigns - whether they're AdWords campaigns, email campaigns, or any other advertising program. With this information, you'll know which keywords are really working, which ad text is the most effective, and where your visitors are dropping off during the conversion process. Don't be fooled by the fact that this functionality is available to you for free - Google Analytics is a full-featured, powerful analytics package.

AdWords advertisers can find all of these benefits from within their AdWords account - Google Analytics has been fully integrated with AdWords. All of your reports and settings are available from the Analytics tab.

To get started with Google Analytics, simply visit www.google.com/analytics or click the Analytics tab in your AdWords account. You'll be guided through a simple sign-up process, which will require the addition of a code snippet. Once that's done, you'll start gathering data immediately, on track for improved ROI!
