This week’s podcast is a good one. Honestly, I thought we were going to end up trashing fivesecondtest.com based on Newman’s experiences with the site last Friday but instead we saw the light and figured out how to put it to good use. We also devised a Deathmatch event between fivesecondtest.com and Feng-GUI and Newman will be sharing the results in his blog post on Friday. It’s a lot of fun.
Check back on Wednesday for a great blog I’m cooking up on the most useful Google Analytics reports for small business owners.
