Only Parts of Google Hates This Site: Feedburner/Adsense vs. Google Analytics
Submitted by todd on Mon, 2008-08-04 09:51
I took a look at this site's stats this morning to see if Google has decided to let people find me again. So, I looked at my Google Adsense stats, my Feedburner stats (owned by Google), and my Google Analytics stats. So, everything I looked at came from some part of Google. Both Feedburner and Adsense show a depressed visitor count for the past 13 days or so. You can see the Feedburner stats for the past month in the bar chart above reflecting what I see in Adsense. But, Google Analytics (line/area chart in the bottom half of the figure above) says that unique visits are pretty much on target. The regular little dips you see are weekends. So, hmm, what is going on here? Will the real Google stand up and tell me what is going on?
Tweaked your Meta-data

Todd, I was thinking about you when I recently installed the WordPress Plugin HeadSpace2. http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/
Sometimes we overlook the importance (in some camps) of having optimized meta-data, or at least updating the Head section of our sites periodically. Short description from their site: Meta-data manager on steroids, allowing complete control over all SEO needs such as keywords/tags, titles, description, stylesheets, and many other goodies.
This plugin is highly configurable, even allowing for Page or Post-specific meta-data. Sounds like you'd try just about anything these days ;)
Don't let it keep you up at night!
