Why I tweet?

been at twitter for less than a year what started as a trial turned into a regular activity for me. personally i use it as a form of micro-journal, i can look back 10 years later to see what i was up to during those times. it's my own personal micro-journal for now. And one other I do on twitter is to follow my own heroes, folks like Warren Buffet, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are on twitter, did you know?

real noobs use google analytics n bit.ly stats ROFLCOPTER

are you serious? you use google analytics and bit.ly stats to analyze your web traffic? talk about noob.

the only way to get exact analytics is to parse your own web server logs in conjunction with session tracking. then you will get a sense of who they are (ip,useragent) where they came from (referer), pages viewed, conversion, exit, return,etc.

what i cant believe is you rely on TWO 3rd party providers and wonder why there are discrepancies????? DUH.

on behalf of google, i would like to thank everyone for giving google a metric buttload of data by using their free analytics... god only knows what else their code captures from users on your sites.....

Thanks for your RUDE comment

Well, whoever you are, Bit.ly and Google Analytics are only two of the many tracking services I use.

Search Done By Mobile Device Users

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the great article. Now I know why there's a disparity between the data provided by Bit.ly and Google Analytics. I didn't take into consideration the search done by smartphone/mobile device users.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Example of Bit.ly vs Google Analytics

I have been discussing the difference between bit.ly and Google Analytics for a few weeks now. I put together an example of this disparity. http://bit.ly/WWKBu

I've had a lot of success

I've had a lot of success with Twitter search. Even if you're not using Twitter, Twitter search is great to find trends, see what people are talking about, etc. I usually use this to complement my Google search, although I think Google will add a realtime search feature in the future.

Using Twitter for real time

Using Twitter for real time search to see whats going in your own business industry, this an awesome concept/tool to have at your disposal. So imagine your looking to getaway to Disney, or looking for a window replacement company like West Coast Vinyl to install windows. With a push of a button and/or stroke on your keyboard. Bingo, you get the results!
