Google Analytics – Keyword Search “Not Provided” Keywords Estimator

You can use this simple tool to calculate the total number of non-brand visits or the amount of non-brand revenue including the data that is being hidden by “(not provided)” keywords. 

http://www.digivate.com/not-provided-keywords-estimator/

This method used here can provide a good top level estimate.  Another more indepth way to get the data is  the landing page “clustering” method.

 

Calculating not provided keywords with great accuracy takes work.   Below there are useful resources

Google GMAIL MX records for your DNS and Webhosting Provider

This article should help you setup your mail record to point to google

Mail servers

Here are the values to be included when you configure MX records for Google Apps with your domain host. Please note the initial numbers in the Value / Answer / Destination column show MX record priority. See understand MX records for details about adding MX records to your domain.

Name/Host/Alias Time to Live (TTL) Record Type Value/Answer/Destination
Blank or @ 3600 MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

Priorities

The initial numbers in the Value / Answer / Destination column show the relative priorities of the Google servers. The values do not need to be exactly those shown in the table; different domain hosts have different systems for setting MX record priority. Regardless of the system, ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM must be the top priority record

The priority level assigned to an MX record establishes preferences when there are multiple MX records for one domain. A correct priority value assigns a preference to the primary MX record. In this fashion, backup MX records are given a lower priority.

aspmx.l.google.com. is the most important mail server, and should be assigned a unique priority.

If your DNS provider allows you to assign numbers to MX records, choose the lowest number for aspmx.l.google.com., and assign higher numbers to the back-up servers. In terms of priority values, the lowest number gets the highest priority.

If your DNS provider doesn’t use numbers to assign priorities, choose the highest priority setting, or designate aspmx.l.google.com. as the primary server.

And if your DNS provider allows only one server, or doesn’t allow ranking, simply enter aspmx.l.google.com. as the only record.

Google Shuts Down Google Affiliate Network: Are you surprised?

Our goal with Google Affiliate Network has been to help advertisers and publishers improve their performance across the affiliate ecosystem. Cost-per-action (CPA) marketing has rapidly evolved in the last few years, and we’ve invested significantly in CPA tools like Product Listing Ads, remarketing and Conversion Optimizer. We’re constantly evaluating our products to ensure that we’re focused on the services that will have the biggest impact for our advertisers and publishers.

To that end, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire Google Affiliate Network and focus on other products that are driving great results for clients.

We’ll continue to support our customers as we wind down the product over the next few months. And there are other products that can help you achieve your goals. Affiliate publishers can continue to earn AdSense revenue through the AdSense network. And marketers can take advantage of other CPA-oriented Google tools like Product Listing Ads, remarketing and Conversion Optimizer to drive valuable online sales and conversions. These areas are growing rapidly and we’re continuing to invest heavily in them.

Thanks for your support of our affiliate product, and we look forward to helping you grow your business in the future.

Google PPC Call Extension, No Phone Numbers anymore Google Says No To Phone Numbers In PPC Ads, Forcing The Use Of Call Extensions

Interesting drop from Google.    I have found that this can be a good way to get your number out to people!

AdWords ads with phone numbers in the text will be disapproved. Advertisers who want to display phone numbers will have to use the call extensions feature instead.
