这个看个人应用，我基本就是上网，看电影，调试设备用，还有就是修电脑哪他当移动硬盘，
笔记本现在很习惯了，没办法，不过家里还是有一台pc，给自己当外置大硬盘用，如果打游戏还得pc，看个人爱好和需求吧。

就机能来说，ps3强太多了，但游戏资源匮乏，价格贵。在全世界范围内，wii的销量以压倒性优势超过ps3，但wii有一个问题，就是它的新鲜感能保持多久。我个人建议买xbox360，游戏资源多，售价适中，还能玩d版，最重要的是有大量中文游戏。大陆，及我国台湾省香港特别行政区也有不少厂商加入了他的开发阵营。
楼下的，就wii上的游戏来讲，我敢肯定，你也不一定玩得转，比如说火纹，塞尔达传说，还是相当有难度的。一款叫赤钢铁的游戏也是相当不错。wi
i上面的游戏并不幼稚，只是当它的新鲜感过去后，它机能的弱点会暴露出来而已。
建议你买xbox360，君不见gta4 鬼泣4已经决定出在上面了，皇牌空战6，实况系列也都有。namco也原创超大作。现在全球顶尖厂商都开始在360平台发力。前段时间的战争机器也以优良的画面给了ps3当头一棒（画面远好于ps3首发游戏，游戏性更是强多了）。而且今年暑假将会发售蓝龙这一大作的繁 简体中文版。最终幻想 生化危机5均极有可能出在上面

JQuery不错，而且微软最近已经开始官方支持JQuery社区，在VS新版项目中缺省配置JQuery，在项目中拿过来就用，不需要自己配置了。

extjs的功能涵盖了JQuery，虽然库大了一点，但是界面效果却更强大，效果华丽地说。
FireFox3.1版本已经改进了Javascript的渲染速度，是原来3.0版本的三倍，我喜欢extjs。

当然，我也不排斥JQuery

Google实用功能集锦

驱动之家[原创]   作者：大川  编辑：Zzyq　2008-10-14 15:16:05 4295 人阅读    [投递]

Google仿佛永远都有用不完的新点子，幸运的是，它永远都有足够的美刀和技术天才来实现这些新鲜玩意。如果现在还有人认为Google只是搜索引擎，那实在是太孤陋寡闻了。Google的创新能力强大到什么程度？你总是有不知道的新玩意——Google的新产品开发速度居然比绝大多数用户学习和习惯的速度还要快，“你用得没有他开发得快”。数也数不清的日常应用，吃喝拉撒衣食住行简直无所不包。大家最常用的Gmail, GoogleNews这些就不再介绍了，本文介绍一些很实用的、你可能不知道的功能。（注：由于Google产品开发总是基于美国人的习惯，有部分功能尚未完全本地化，可能对中国用户不适用。） 1.图书搜索 Google Book Search可以检索到绝大多数没有版权保护的整本的文学著作。想看英文原版的简奥斯汀“理智与情感”吗？搜索“Senseand Sensibility”http://books.google.com/books?id=RtT0OLKFMHsC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Sense+and+Sensibility&ei=yQX0SKrDD5rIM8TeteMI可以立刻找到,你甚至可以下载8.1M的完整版PDF. 再来试试“红楼梦”,你不会失望的。http://books.google.com/books?id=e1NgBK4k2cwC&printsec=frontcover&dq=红楼梦&ei=HgT0SNqECJOqMqWM9cAL&sig=ACfU3U2euA0hZnDfaIVocSvfq34V15My5w#PPP1,M1 2.世界时间查询 想知道纽约现在几点？去Google搜索：time new york 你可以在"time"后面加上任何你想查询的城市或国家名称。 3.货币转换 79英镑折合多少人民币？去Google搜索：£79 in chinese currency, 或者79 GBP in CNY, Google告诉你答案。类似地, 8000 jpy in usd 可查询8000日元折合多少美元。 4.发现有趣的地方 Google Earth, 想看哪里就看哪里。Google最新发射的照相卫星可以提供高达50米的精度，俯视图，鸟瞰图，街景实拍……Google Earth和Google Maps功能实在太复杂，请读者自行研究吧。 5.在线文档 Google Docs可以自动保存文档或表格的各个历史版本。万一你需要找回删掉的草稿，这个功能就很方便了。虽然GoogleDocs在应用上还有很多局限，可能很多人用惯了Office等本地软件而不习惯网络化文档撰写，但GoogleDocs很多应用比Word等软件更方便，比如文档分享，协同撰写等功能，可以作为Office系列有效的补充。当多人协同撰写文章时，再也不用把Word文档作为附件传来传去了，一起在线编辑修改很方便。 6.航班查询 我想知道广州到法兰克福的CA6225离港和到港时刻，去Google 搜索：CA6225, 所有信息一目了然。此功能尚未完全本地化，国内航班可能收录不全。 7.外文翻译 想知道怎么和意大利人说“我不会说意大利语”吗？Google Translate 告诉你：Non parlo italiano. Google提供了数十种主流语言多向翻译,如果可以带发音功能那就更完美了。还可以翻译任何你不认识的外文网站。 8.移动设备查询信息 你和朋友打赌：1978年世界杯冠军是哪个队？偷偷地拿出手机打开m.google.com查询world cup winner 1978,哈哈……Google Maps, Gmail, GoogleReader等很多应用都支持手机访问。用中国移动的EDGE网络速度还很不错。现在带有内置GPS的手机价格也比较平易近人了，安装GoogleMaps就有了随身地图，出门不再迷路，打车不怕司机绕路……没有GPS的手机也可以使用，只是利用移动基站信号定位精确度差了一些。 9.遥望星空 Google Earth不仅能看地球，还能看太空！天文爱好者必备！利用Sky功能，你可以观看三维的星座图，超新星…… 10.强大的日历 如果你喜欢做事井井有条按部就班，GoogleCalendar绝不能错过。强大的日程规划，日历同步，日历分享功能都很好用。你可以和家人、朋友、同事互相同步共享日历，可以知道你身边的人的日程安排。约饭局，打牌，就靠它了。你的Google日历可以和电脑的Outlook同步，可以和你的智能手机同步。你还可以设置免费的手机短信定时提醒（中国移动用户可用，其他网络未测试） 11.查看股票 Google Finance——你的理财助手！可以直接输入股票代码或者上市公司名称，美股港股A股统统都有。不仅提供了实时的价格图表，还可以查看详尽的相关新闻信息。炒股票就靠它了！ 12.定制你的首页 iGoogle拥有无数的插件应用，生活工作娱乐学习一切信息一网打尽，你可以根据需要定制自己的“一站式信息中心”。 13.学术研究 Google Scholar可以查询到学术相关信息。写论文你再也不需要去图书馆翻阅那些堆积如山的材料了。查询organicchemistry即可查阅"有机化学"相关的论文、图书、出版物，给你写论文搞研究提供灵感和参考。与Google BookSearch有类似的毛病，中文信息贫乏，大部分资源都以英文为主。为了自己方便，练好你的英文吧，起码是英文阅读。 14.天气预报 输入weather beijing 天气信息一目了然。够简便不？ 15.浏览器工具栏 Google Toolbar IE和Firefox可用。拼写检查，自动提交注册信息等功能很方便实用。 16.计算器 27344.56*22.8直接敲入搜索栏即得结果。打开浏览器窗口方便还是用电脑内置的计算器方便呢？看个人喜好吧。 17.图片管理与分享 Picasa是目前最好用最方便的照片管理软件。这么说吧，你能想到的功能它基本全能实现。普通的去除红眼、照片修补、剪裁这些都是小菜一碟。速度是Picasa最大的特色，管理海量的照片非常简便。Picasa在线相册与管理软件无缝集成，免费提供1G存储空间，你可以把自己的照片上传分享给朋友们，或者在论坛,Blog嵌入自己的图片。说到在线相册就不得不提被Yahoo收购的flickr,哪个更好用呢？看个人习惯吧。什么？你用QQ相册？那个……随便你。 18.单位转换 很多时候2秒钟可以做到的事情如果使用了错误的方法可能要2分钟。比如：想知道1.45公斤是多少磅，你怎么做？有无数种方法可以换算出结果，最简单的办法是：Google搜索1.45 kilos in pounds.类似地，华氏温度与摄氏温度转换，英里转换为米……日常生活中经常碰到这些小事，下次再遇到类似情况记得使用Google.中文谷歌的本地化搜索更方便，你可以直接输入自然语言查询，打开g.cn, 输入“1英里是多少米” "1000日元是多少美金"试验下吧。 Google的服务多到令人发指，想要全都介绍完3天3夜也不可能，也是没有必要的。去Google大全自己挑感兴趣的研究吧 http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/。

我的模板我自己做-解析篇-完成-2008年1月10日更新
今天我教大家怎么在网页下载器的帮助之下自己在模板上转换使用

工具篇:
下载网页的工具-WEBDUP 或是OE好似叫MetaProducts offline  俗名叫:离线下载器 你们搜索下就能找到
可视化编辑:Dreamweaver
再使用Adobe Dreamweaver CS3可视化编辑DIV+CSS
(以前的Dreamweaver只能可视化表格式的,Dreamweaver CS3可视化DIV+CSS)

自己做模板不再求人

先上演示图给你们看看

要模仿的网站

1.jpg (138.83 KB)
2007-12-28 11:44




另存该网站网页后用Adobe Dreamweaver CS3打开

里面的内容替换成自己网站的内容保留框架就可以了

全新的风格就完成了
http://www.discuz.net/thread-819784-1-1.html


参考篇:你们可以看看这文章进行参考比较详细
http://download2.discuz.net/v5/doc/SupeSite_templates_help.wmv

环境篇:Windows平台IIS一键整合安装包
http://www.discuz.net/thread-284586-1-1.html

工具准备齐全了
找到目标站点进行下载

教程开始
网页下载器的步骤我就不教了很简单的
已经下载回来之后
我们打开C盘download目录会发现以目标站为名的目录存在
打开

                               
登录/注册后可看大图

2006-11-10 09:08


目标站的所使用的背景与美化图片都存放在images
default.htm为首页 今天我只做简单教程所以只下载了部分
把images更换你认为你想要的目录存放到
SS的images/目录里
用Dreamweaver,我简称DW
用DW打开原先我们下载的default.htm
如图
2.gif (26.65 KB)
2006-11-10 09:18



可视化的优势就出来了
我们再打开SS目录里的/templates/default/index.html.php
index.html.php为首页文件
用DW打开
可能出现乱码
可以用中文重新载入

index.html.php里的代码

<?exit?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c />
<title>$title - Powered By SupeSite</title>
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{S_URL}/favicon.ico" />
<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSitemain.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSiteiehack.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var siteUrl = "<?=S_URL?>";
</script>
<script src="{S_URL}/include/js/common.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
<script src="{S_URL}/include/SupeSitejs/common.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
</head>

请复制这部分
覆盖到
我们下载回来的default.htm代码里顶部以上
<head>到</head>的这部分

以上代码<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSiteiehack.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
我们原样复制这段代码到后面形成
<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSiteiehack.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSiteiehack.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
其实把第二段的
/css/SupeSiteiehack.css把SupeSiteiehack.css改成目标站点下载回来所的CSS名称
然后把目标站点的CSS放到SS里的css目录
如果不想这么复杂的话也可以把
目标站点的CSS写进SupeSiteiehack.css里

这样基本可以了

开始代码上的转换

由于我是在原基础上改进所以需要用DW打开新建空白文档把index.html.php代码复制出来贴到空白文档里
一备我们随时使用(也可以在templates新建一个自己的模板目录进行使用)

把default.htm更名为index.html.php覆盖掉
这样我们浏览器打开SS的时候就能看到
我们目标站点的基本形状已经取代了SS原始模板

对了记得把所有目标站点的图片与背景全部指望 你存放在SS里的图片目录里你刚才存放的地方
不然显示不了
我现在教大家怎么做登陆窗口
如图 3.jpg (45.47 KB)
2006-11-10 09:41



显示的目标站点的登陆窗口

显然使用不了

我们看到刚才备份的空白文档
找到                </div>
                <div class="rightside">
                        <!-- 用户面板 -->
                        <div id="userpanel" class="sideblock">
                                <scriptsrc="{S_URL}/batch.panel.php" type="text/javascript"language="javascript"></script>
                        </div>复制代码
替换掉目标站点的登陆代码
如图 4.jpg (14.59 KB)
2006-11-10 09:45


DW可视化看到的是空白

用IE打开就显示出了登陆窗口

记得<link href="{S_URL}/css/SupeSiteiehack.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
这部分要做
不然登陆窗口没CSS会变形
而已登陆不了

一个登陆窗口就完成了
如果想要登陆窗口更好看的话
可以打开CSS进行编辑

现在是我教大家怎么使用个人
空间之星
看到目标站点的
如图
显示
{39286CCF-5814-4D39-9259-A5DEF154D333}0.jpg (35.59 KB)
2006-11-10 09:49



是一个静态化的显示

用这段  <!-- 空间之星开始 -->
  <!--{block name="userspace"parameter="isstar/1/showdetail/1/order/u.lastpostDESC/limit/0,3/cachetime/14400/cachename/spacestar/tpl/data"}-->   
   <div id="spacestar" class="sideblock">
    <h3>个人空间之星</h3>
    <a href="#action/spaces#" class="more">MORE</a>
    <ul>
    <!--{loop $_SBLOCK['spacestar'] $value}-->
    <li><a href="$value"><img src="$value[photo]"alt="$value[spacename]" /></a><p><ahref="$value[url]">$value[username]</a></p>
    </li>
    <!--{/loop}-->
    </ul>
     </div>复制代码
进行替换
具体自己查找自己的空间之星的代码
[url=http://www.discuz.net/attachment.php?aid=89681&k=f83f950c40a10827516f2f7c7195aac0&t=1223911478&nothumb=yes]6.jpg (22.86 KB)

2006-11-10 09:53



这样空间之星的显示就完成

会不会发觉很简单

只要自己动手就行了

依照原模板复制就可以执行
比如广告函数==之类的记得加上去


现在我教大家怎么样使用模块功能

进到SS的后台
看到
模块功能我们选择创建模块

我想要建个资讯的模块

按照你的需要建立自己资讯模块

提交保存
我们只复制
<!--{block name="spacenews" parameter="catid/72/order/i.datelineASC/limit/0,4/cachetime/900/subjectlen/30/subjectdot/1/showdetail/1/messagelen/30/cachename/sex/tpl/item_subject_list"}--><!--性教育-->
这一段
然后打开目标站点

我只留下一个框架
其他去掉
把
<!--{block name="spacenews" parameter="catid/72/order/i.datelineASC/limit/0,4/cachetime/900/subjectlen/30/subjectdot/1/showdetail/1/messagelen/30/cachename/sex/tpl/item_subject_list"}--><!--性教育-->
复制到框架里
进行替换

这样
我想要的效果就完成了
12.jpg (66.56 KB)
2006-11-10 10:08

13.jpg (62.83 KB)
2006-11-10 10:08


完成效果
14.jpg (25.42 KB)
2006-11-10 10:11


所以应用到SS的创建模块功能
你自己无限循环使用

我们也可以做一个很漂亮的模板出来




最后的效果











简单的教程
累啊

我今天写这个教程的目的是教大家自己动手做模板
别再老徘徊在SS风格区里去求人索要风格
见作者商业化而进行羞辱
这样做
风气会很不好

还有对不起,我只是想大家都学会自己做模板而已而不是要破坏谁的生意
站长本来就要具备这些技能的

要能快速３天－１０天做好的所谓商业模板大多采用我这方法
没技术含量,真正商业模板要做起来没一个月起细心雕琢不可能！
赚商业模板别太黑心了
快餐哪有这么贵的
只是大家还没掌握的诀窍而已
适当收点但别收那么多
价格＝质量

我们本身也要检讨下

我不是教大家投机取巧
目的是要学会自己动手
所谓自己动手,丰衣足食

内核升级，应该包括
1. 系统优化
2. 安全性提高
3. 硬件支持
4. 程序重构

我没有很认真的跟踪过内核，所以对于changelog没有很认真看过，也不知道哪里能比较方便地看到这些update的分类。
如果谁知道，麻烦告诉过我一下。

linux内核升级最近让我很头痛。因为在2.6.x后，netfilter框架一直keep updating，从2.6.20前后发生了重大的变化，
让我们之前的一些开发失效了。由于不是专业的kernel developer来跟踪开发，现在这个问题成为我们产品中最麻烦的一件事。
这段时间，cpu芯片的变化也很大，硬件方面也变化很大，升级在所难免，但跟着一群“无所事事”的kernel developer跑framework
又没有文档可以查，是极期崩溃的事。

Credit crunch making your office system look lean? There's no need to fret when there are perfectly good productivity tools available for free.

Here's our pick of the free productivity-boosting programs every Windows user should own.

1.Thunderbird 2

Based on Mozilla code, what Firefox does for web browsing, Thunderbird does for email. Including advanced features like message tagging, saved searches and Gmail integration, you can use it for POP, IMAP and webmail accounts.

2. OpenOffice.org

Not one productivity tool but a whole suite of them. OpenOffice boasts word processing, drawing, spreadsheet, presentation and database apps in one handy package. Microsoft Office compatibility makes it easy to switch.

3. PrimoPDF

Adobe's Portable Document Format is ideal for delivering content across different platforms. PrimoPDF makes it free to create industry standard PDFs from over 300 file types. Installed as a printer driver, you can output from almost any program.

4. Inkscape

A graphics package that's ideal for creating clipart, charts and posters, Inkscape that will cost you nothing. With vector drawing tools on a par with professional programs, it outputs files in the open source SVG format.

5. Sunbird

Most free email tools are missing the calendar and scheduling features of Microsoft Outlook. Sunbird fills that gap, with a robust, open source application that uses a SQL based storage mechanism for security and strength.

6. NotePad++

The Notepad that comes free with Windows has nothing on this word crunching supertool. With it's tabbed interface, saved workspace states, syntax highlighting, auto-completion and text processing features NotePad++ is ideal for everyday use or even coding.

7. GIMPShop

A longtime Linux favourite, The GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) sought to emulate the main features of bitmap editing tool Photoshop for free. This remix makes The GIMP's interface look and behave more like Photoshop too.

8. XnView

Windows built in image viewer balks at some formats, but not XnView. It imports around 400 different file types an exports about 50. If that wasn't enough, you can also make simple edits, like cropping and resizing or create slideshows.

9. TurboLister

eBay listings are made easy with TurboLister. Combining design and database tools, the package connects to your eBay account to give you template based control over the auctions you place online.

10. Diagram Designer

Diagram Designer helps you create flow charts, circuit boards and graphs. In other words, it does a similar job to Microsoft Visio, but for free.

11. Trillian

Replace all your instant messaging clients with Trillian. It connects to Yahoo, Windows Live, ICQ, AIM and Internet Relay chat. There's even built in support for sending SMS messages via a gateway.

12. 7-Zip

Windows XP and Vista can open ZIP files, but can't read RAR, LZH, ARJ or any of the other additional formats 7-Zip is familiar with. You can even browse disk images in ISO format.

13. DeBrief 2.3

If you're the kind of person who scribbles on envelopes, bus tickets and any other scrap then DeBrief is for you. This note-taking application helps you organise your lists, ideas and thoughts.

14. AceMoney Lite

Financial management tools are rarely free, so it's gratifying to find one that's so good at its job. Track your spending, pay bills on time, manage debts and household budgets with AceMoney Lite.

15. Jarte

Built on the same engine as Windows WordPad, Jarte adds features that make it into a useful word processor. Spell checking, word count and support for Microsoft DOC formats make it a must.

16. TimeTo

More than just a calendar application or "to-do" list, TimeTo enables you to manage your commitments hour by hour, day by day.

17. Picasa 3

Google's photo sharing and management tool beats most others feature for feature. Picasa 3 lets you quickly import pics direct from your camera, fix them with the built-in filters and organise them in albums.

18. Ashampoo Burning Studio Free 6

Available only at download.com, this is an earlier edition of a commercial program featuring CD, DVD and Blu-ray burning capabilities. Great for music compilations and data back-ups.

from TechRadar: All Latest Feeds

Things change so quickly on the web. When I started working at software firm Urchin in 1996, web analytics was a niche product, important to (and understood by) perhaps a handful of people at an organisation.

When Google bought Urchin in June 2005 and launched Google Analytics later that autumn, the industry was moving away from expensive, complex tools in favour of free, easy-to-use ones, and these are quickly becoming more capable than those of the previous generation.

Analytics has also expanded to encompass a larger tool set and conversion process. It includes offline data sources and multivariate testing solutions. Perhaps the largest shift is that virtually everyone is now aware of and able to afford a quality web analytics and multivariate testing platform.

Getting started

You can sign up for Google Analytics at google.com/analytics. From there, you can create a new, free account. If you advertise on Google's AdWords system, you can also sign up for Analytics from within your AdWords account. Google Analytics has been closely integrated into your AdWords account under the new Analytics tab: click the tab and follow the instructions to start tracking AdWords campaign data and ROI information.

The Tracking Instructions page that appears contains the tracking code that you'll need to paste into each page of your site. Before doing so, you might want to complete a couple more steps to make sure Google Analytics collects the most relevant data for your site. You can configure your profile by clicking Edit in the Website Profile table.

Set the default (or index) page of your site. This will allow Google Analytics to reconcile log entries for www.example.com and www.example.com/index.html, for instance. These are in fact the same page, but are reported as two distinct pages until the Default Page setting has been configured.

Does your site use dynamic session or user identifiers? You can tell Google Analytics to ignore these variables and not count them as unique pages. Enter any query parameters you wish to be excluded, separated with commas.

To enable ecommerce reporting and the Ecommerce Analysis report set, select Yes. If your website is designed to drive visitors to a particular page, such as a purchase or email sign-up page, you can track the number of successful conversions using 'goals' and 'funnels' in Google Analytics. A goal is a website page a visitor reaches once they have made a purchase or completed another desired action, such as a registration or download. A funnel represents the path that you expect visitors to take in order to reach their goal.

Defining these pages enables you to see how frequently visitors abandon goals (and where they go instead) and the value of the goal. Each profile can have up to four goals, with a defined funnel for each. You can begin defining goals and funnels by selecting a profile and clicking Edit from the Analytics Settings page.

Hearts and minds

Google Analytics is not only a way to learn about customer behaviour, it can reveal something that's even more important: customer intent. Analytics data provides a peek into the hearts and minds of your customers and their needs and wants.

How did your visitors arrive at your site? For those who came through a search-engine query, a list of search terms will tell you what they were seeking. For example, shoe shoppers may be looking for Nikes but not Uggs; Clarks but not Donna Karan. You may therefore discover that part of your site is on target for visitors' needs, while the other half isn't. Similarly, Google Analytics can give you a list of 'referring URLs', websites that send you traffic. You can infer, for instance, that visitors coming from happycoupons.co.uk will have a different goal (making savings) than those coming from a manufacturer's retail link page (finding out about product features).

What are visitors looking for? Your checkout page tells you only where you've succeeded – not where you've missed an opportunity. Consider Best Buy's experience stocking a portable refrigerator to chill beer in the US. At first, they stocked it only during the Super Bowl. But search keywords reports revealed that shoppers still looked for the product code well into the baseball season – yet they couldn't find anything on the site.

Other key data that goes beyond conversions is the 'cart abandonment' rate: the percentage of customers who put items in the cart but leave your site before checking out. This crucial metric of your site's ability to close sales may indicate that something's amiss with your checkout process.

Where are your visitors landing, bouncing, and viewing? It's often assumed user experience begins on the homepage, and this misconception drives many an ecommerce site to waste hours of design work in the wrong place. Search engines dig deeper into ecommerce sites, bringing visitors to not just 'electronics', but also televisions, MP3 players or sat navs. Analytics data will tell you where your real 'homepages' reside, so you can focus your design work there. Curious? Just take a look at the 'Top Landing Pages' or 'Top Entry Pages' report in your Web Analytics tool.

Conversely, analytics will tell you which landing pages have the highest bounce rate – ie on which did people land, look around and quickly leave? This data tells you which of your pages are letting your customers down, and can also help with your redesign, since you can infer intent through the list of keywords and referring sites.

Web analytics can also show you the top viewed pages: information that's often overlooked. While you may consider yourself in the business of selling products, most of your hits could represent people reading customer reviews. Or perhaps you're selling 10 lines of products, but two of them show especially high traffic. Knowing what interests your customers will help you design a site that better meets expectations.

Analytics can help you understand what drives performance up or down. Earning $15,000 in the last 24 hours is good; knowing what drove that surge is even better. Ecommerce tracking shows the number of orders placed, the value of those orders, and more, by hour, day, week and month. By segmenting your data over different time lines, you can see both seasonal trends and more subtle buying habits that could otherwise go unnoticed.

Putting this information into practice takes not just creativity, but also a willingness to experiment. This spirit of adventure comes through on some of the most successful retail sites. Crutchfield (crutchfield.com) has taken the unorthodox approach of putting its checkout cart on the left side of the screen. Is that a good idea? Analytics reports have confirmed that it is – at least for them. Wal-Mart commonly puts products on its website that are unavailable in its stores. When those zebra- patterned bed sheets prove they have a following, the company understands the demographics enough to place them in targeted store locations.

Recent changes

Earlier this year we redesigned the Google Analytics site. The goal was to make it easier to discover information relationships via navigation and visualisations. We created a customisable dashboard and introduced sparklines. We developed new graphing tools and a new type of date slider, which make it easy to see spikes and dips in traffic as you set date ranges. And one of the most popular new features is one of the simplest: the ability to email reports and schedule these emails so that information can be easily shared with key stakeholders in your organisation.

New visualisations have been among the most popular features. You can now view many reports by hour or day and graph data by day, week or month. And we've made it easier to compare visits to conversions. You can also graph two metrics against each other over time so, for example, you can compare the number of visitors and the bounce rate for a certain week, or see if visitors who come to a site through AdWords spend more or less time on your site than visitors overall.

We've also added a new ga.js tracking code. This pagetag allows for more flexibility and customisation. It's just as easy to install as the old code, but enables more seasoned users to track ecommerce transactions in a more readable way and make use of advanced tracking features. We've also added a Google Analytics codesite (code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/) to help you take advantage of documented customisations that have been made to the tracking code.

If you have content behind a security firewall, an intranet or an internal network that prevents you from using Google Analytics, you may also want to consider Urchin software. You can configure it to fit your own requirements and process/reprocess log files as frequently as you wish. Urchin is also great for intranets, since it allows the analysis of firewall-protected content, such as corporate intranets, without any outside internet connection. You can even track your site with Urchin and Google Analytics combined.

One of the coolest things we've recently added is industry benchmarking. Still in beta, it enables you to see how your site's data compares to others'. For example, if you have a travel website and you get a spike in traffic on Mondays, you may want to know whether other travel sites get that same spike. We don't share individual data with competitors, but bucket data into industry verticals and then anonymise and aggregate it.

Finally, Website Optimizer is a free tool that complements the functionality of Google Analytics to hone your site further. You can create different versions of your web pages, and Google then splits your traffic automatically, so your visitors tell you which version they like best. Things you might consider changing include images (bigger, smaller, colour, black and white, with models, no models); headlines (questions, shorter ones, emphasising different points); calls to action (different button designs and copy) and layouts (three columns, two columns, one long scrolling column).

Test a few big changes, not several small ones. A good rule of thumb is one page variation for every 100 conversions. So if you get 300 conversions per month, test up to three variations, including your current page. Run your test for at least two weeks. Don't jump to conclusions: make sure the data has an opportunity to normalise.

Make testing an ongoing process. Once you find a winner, keep trying to beat it. Remember that not finding a winner can be helpful, too, since you learn what doesn't work and you protect yourself from making changes that could have permanently harmed your site's performance.
