Came across this nice little site whilst doing some research for one of my clients the other day.

Using web analytic data is becoming an essential part of a media agencies role. Although aesthetic considerations have to be a large priorty the project team should also remain focused on their data. Data that is used to its full advantage can often leade to vast improvements in the end users overall experience.

Imedia connection have recently published an interesting article on this very subject: http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/20964.asp

The four key questions you can answer using your data are:

1. How do your visitors arrive?
2. What are visitors looking for?
3. Where are visitors landing, bouncing and viewing?
4. What are your website's trends over time?

Get these right and you're onto a winner.

Came across an interesting bug on one of my client's sites the other day. She was having problems with a link being pushed off her screen. So following the basic diagnosing a problem rules, I found out she was using Firefox. Checked that it was fine no problems. So naturally asked her to provide a screen shot. Snap shot below.

As you can see this was most strange as her browser had added in all this additional formatting around the phone number, causing the email link to be pushed out. Naturally this intrigued me to find out what was causing it, so after looking on several forums found out that it was a Skype Plug-in on Firefox. So basically when you browse a website and see a phone number on the site, the Skype extension automatically converts it into a button that you click to call the person using Skype. Although quite handy for some, very annoying for others, and looks like Skype secretly install it without you knowing.
