Yes, yes. I have been waiting for a few of these. This is exciting stuff.
(I am aware of how nerdy this makes me sound. I am embracing it.) 
I consider these new features as proof that Google monitors feedback. Several of these new features position Google Analytics with the top level (not to mention expensive) “Enterprise Class” programs.
Huge! Fast!

Seth’s newest book is available pre-release for a limited time.
Very cool of Seth. Make a $30.00 donation (minimum) to the Acumen Fund and get a copy of Linchpin before it hits the stores. My expectations are always high with Seth’s books and the reviews so far are awesome! I just made a donation and I am really looking forward to reading and reviewing. His last book, Tribes, was phenomenal!

Kind of expensive ($50.00 a month per domain) but still very cool.

How to Double your Conversion Rate
Without Increasing Search Engine Marketing
How many repeat customers do you have? For most wholesalers, repeat customers are the backbone of their enterprise. But unfortunately, statistics show us that many wholesalers have less than a 50 percent return customer rate. Why is that? While attracting new business is essential for growth, isn’t it much easier to sell products to those who have already bought from you?
How many phone calls do you receive from excited marketers trying to sell you traffic to your site? Probably quite a few. Now, how many phone calls do you receive from someone wanting to show you how to convert the traffic you are already getting? Our guess is very little or none.
Unfortunately, someone selling you traffic could typically care less about your conversion rate: They delivered the traffic they sold you – and in their eyes, their job is done. If it fails to convert, it must be your site’s fault.
What are Affiliates? They’re one big mass of people that have the same kind of site, same kind of visitors, the same needs and deserve the same commission – right?
Well, of course not. But – if you think about it, that’s how most Affiliate Programs treat their Affiliates. They give all Affiliates the same commissions, the same linking methods, the same incentives, same, same, same! They fail to recognize that Affiliates have a variety of needs, diverse reasons for joining, visitors from all walks of life, different marketing styles and varying degrees of interest in making a sale.
Your next generation of customers is changing the way internet marketing may look. On July 13, 2006 it was announced that MYSPACE moved into the number 1 position over Google and Yahoo. Back in July 2004, the website accounted for just 0.1 percent of all internet visits. Since then it’s grown to become the leading social networking website both in the US and elsewhere. What does that mean for your business? It means you need to be seen on the scene.
Nic Jones of News Interactive said, “Take your mind away from banner and buttons and start thinking about profiles: clients set themselves or their product up as a profile within itself.” If you are not familiar with the new Myspace definitions of “profile” , “friends”, and , “invite” . It is time to catch up and learn quickly because the Myspace demographic is starting to grow in the 30 – 54 year old category and that means your customers are out there.
Your product can become the hot new trend on MySpace because of the viral connection of the users. You are able to upload photos, video, and music to your “profile”. You can then “invite” other users to be “friends”. These “friends” have “friends” and so on. Everyone is connected to everyone on MySpace.
How can you make MySpace work for your company? Steve Gibson of Skyabove Marketing has started to offer a MySpace profile to his many online marketing plans, “It’s a great way to network in an ever expanding group of diverse people. Myspace can also be used as an excellent research tool to keep your finger on the pulse of trends that could affect your business”. This is advantageous to both wholesalers and retailers to start the buzz on a new product or showcase a current product. A business could have a main profile and then connecting profiles for products that they would like to cross –promote. It allows you to showcase your business and products in an informal and personal style.
Is it time to make MySpace your space for your business?
