| Google Analytics |
Google Analytics (GA) is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Its main highlight is that a webmaster can optimize AdWords advertisement and marketing campaigns through the use of GA's analysis of where the visitors came from, how long they stayed on the website and their geographical position. Users can define and track conversions, or goals. Goals might include sales, lead generation, viewing a specific page, or downloading a particular file. By using this tool, marketers can determine which ads are performing, and which are not, as well as find unexpected sources of quality visitors. > Google Analytics Homepage |
| How to set up Custom Error Pages |
Nobody enjoys seeing an error page. It's worse if the error page gives you little or no information to help you find the page you were trying to reach. Fortunately, there are ways to configure Apache so that your visitors need never feel so abandoned. A custom error page is a feature that allows you to replace default error messages with your own. |

But as the new deadline approaches, users are signing up to even stronger stay of execution campaigns, hoping to extend the software's
remaining 3 months of life on retail shelves. |
