Google Introduces In-Page Analytics
It can be difficult to translate the various pages full of numbers and graphs in Google Analytics to fully understand how visitors are using your pages.

Find Information Faster With Mobile Ad Sitelinks
Google recently launched Mobile Ad Sitelinks, which adds additional links to content buried deeper within your website in the search results. It currently displays two sitelinks beneath the search result, allowing you to utilize more than one landing page and push 2 additional products or categories in your ads. I am loving that Google is pushing mobile ads as much as they are. It widens the audience and the frequency at which we can potentially display our ads online!
