  1. Anyone know what the threshold is for the auction insights report? My experiments suggest about 300 impressions/month: lower than expected
  2. @lakey the old Tinker, Tailor rhyme doesn't really work for you then
  3. Visual website optimiser display a horrible understanding of statistics visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/split-testing-… (or I do)
  4. RT @PennyJAnderson You stole my line! RT @RichardFergie Friday jargon buster: Big data = data << Guilty
  5. Friday jargon buster: Big data = data
  6. @social_media_uk and in this case, the abyss is definitely staring back at you
  7. @ismepete probably easiest to setup a filter on your inbox
  8. AdWords auction sometimes confuses me: I raise bids, CPC stays the same
  9. @Attacat_Joel @eloi_casali gold dust for those guys bidding on people's names in order to get job interviews
  10. @Attacat_Joel why would you feel good about it? I can't think of any plus points (apart from more AdWords work)
  11. @badams I've seen more angry sounding rants from you on there :-)
  12. RT @stateofsearch: Google to change product search to paid Google Shopping system bit.ly/KPnCiN < @badams is less mad than I expected
  13. @danbarker 3 feet by 5 feet? I'd need one for each leg
  14. Wow. Big Google shopping news searchengineland.com/google-product… (vis @netmeg )
  15. @minethatdata I think dynamic pricing is the future but I don't know anyone brave enough to try it (except airlines)
  16. @cjpberry is it a more advanced #measure or is it just #measure without the spam?
  17. @KeithBurtis not all content adds value. And different people find different content valuable
  18. @KeithBurtis just to clarify; still going to read, just not going to tweet with it
  19. @KeithBurtis think the guys who started it way ahead of me in terms of their analytics development. Going to stay off it untill I know more
  20. @minethatdata I see a "DANGER phishing page" when I click that link
