Overall appreciationExcellent 34% Very good 37% Average 21% Poor 2% Terrible 5%
- "Comfortable, Fast Travel" Geodino c. 06/03/2016
We bought tickets overseas online. Printing the ticket from any London station was easy. Getting into the train was effortless, even while carrying suitcases. We made the mistake of buying our own food to eat on the train only to find out meals and, even wine was provided. Value for money Convenience
- "Inconvenience at the station:" Vera n. 26/02/2016
My friend and I arrived at 14.58 to the gates, and our train was at 15:00. (the delay was caused because we got a bit lost as it was our first time in London) We were inquiring about which gate to take and running insanely with our luggage, and we asked an employee for directions.(They were just calling for the last passengers to get on the train) The guy, very slowly, told us that we missed it and we should get new tickets. Long story short, we previously paid about 30 pounds online for our tickets to Edinburgh, and we had to pay 125 extra pounds EACH for the next ticket. (at 3:30) (they redeemed only one ticket since the other stayed with the employee previously mentioned) I think that this amount of money is huge to pay considering we arrived 2 mins late, especially that we are new to the city and we were on a tight budget. The trip itself was enjoyable and smooth. I still have the tickets' receipts if requested. Thank you for your concern. Vera Noun, Lebanon. Value for money Convenience
- "problem with train time table " Jacob b. 26/02/2016
when we arrived at Preston we had to run in order to catch the train to Blackpool that on the time table needed to leave 25 min later and it was the last one riding to Blackpool because when we arrived the train station closed the gate so it was lucky we didn't miss it ????? Value for money Convenience
- "Great" Tiago k. 13/01/2016
Everything was clear since Edinburgh to London. Pretty confortable. Nothing tô complain about it. I just thought it expensive. Value for money Convenience
- "Recent train travel" Deirdre h. 16/12/2015
My journey both to and from London would have been excellent however both journeys were rather marred by long delays near Alnmouth following some sort of electrical problem 2 hours going south and one and a half on the return 5 days later. However we were informed that we would be given a refund on any tickets by Virgin for these delays which considerably helped my feelings, however I did not have any connections as others did. Delays aside the service was very good and at least we were kept informed on the problem and given free wifi for the duration. Value for money
- "Trip to Manshester Picadally" Muhammad Fairuz k. 16/12/2015
Had a fun experience onboard train to Manchester Picadally from London Euston. As we book the tickets online, its very convenience for collection as well as the staff is very helpful in assisting us for direction and question. The first class lounge is good but more can be done to upgrade it. Its the most memorable experience we had and look forward to use it on our nxt trip. Value for money Convenience

Given one minute to make a provocative presentation about design
at the 2005 AIGA
National Design Conference, 20 designers took the stage,
encumbered with elaborate animations, PowerPoint presentations,
professional-grade films. Michael Bierut appeared in a suit,
strolled to center stage, and performed a self-penned AIGA version
of "The Star Spangled Banner." A capella.
It was the vocal equivalent of Bierut's work: smart, bold,
blissfully on target. He received a standing ovation.
The fact that Michael Bierut will stand on stage and sing before
almost 3,000 designers is not surprising—Bierut has built his
career on making himself, his work, his personality, his opinions,
available. It has worked to great effect. He graciously jets to
speaking engagements tucked into tiny towns in corners of the
country. He makes a point to advise design students. But this
should be of no surprise. After all, Michael Bierut is a
Midwestern-raised, impeccably-mannered person-who happens to be one
of the most famous graphic designers today.
Bierut was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1957. Graphic design as a
career aspiration was not heavily promoted to the young adults of
Ohio at the time. Yet his loves of fine art, music and drawing—all
converging, to him, in the form of album covers—eventually led
Bierut to what were apparently the only two graphic design books in
his suburban town's branch library: the Graphic Design
Manual by Armin Hofmann and Milton Glaser: Graphic
Design. He needed little more to convince him to study graphic
design at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design,
Architecture, Art and Planning. An internship while in school
placed him under the guise of another AIGA Medalist, Chris Pullman, at
Boston public television station, WGBH.
In 1980 Bierut landed his first job at one of the most important
design firms in the world, working for Massimo and
Lella Vignelli in New York City. Working alongside legends for
10 years at Vignelli
Associates, eventually as vice president of design, gave Bierut
serious industry clout. But it also instilled a keystone tenet of
his career. "Probably the most interesting thing I learned is that
a lot of the things about design that tend to get designers really
interested aren't that important," Bierut once said to Steven Heller. Bierut
has admitted that there's no proof people ever really read the
annual reports and corporate brochures that designers make.
Therefore, Bierut strives to not only make things that people are
able to read, he makes people want to read them. "He has a quality
that I have much respect for in the kind of work that we do," says
Pullman. "He's a person who's very easy to understand, both when
you talk to him and when he's doing his work. He's accessible,
humane, funny when it's appropriate, and witty almost all of the
time. And that's a very important quality for someone who wants to
be a communicator."
It is this "democratization of design" that Bierut has
championed while a partner at Pentagram, where he's been since
1990; the act of making things digestible is where he excels. His
list of clients consists of massive corporations that need to be
embraced by the masses: Walt Disney, United Airlines, Motorola, the
New York Jets, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Or he lends a voice
to complex, intellectual entities that need emotional authenticity:
Yale and Princeton Universities, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New
York magazine. This aesthetic also informs his work as an
author, co-editing the design essay series of Looking Closer and co-writing and designing the
monograph Tibor Kalman, Perverse Optimist.
Like Kalman, Bierut has not only made a profound mark on design,
but embedded himself in the cultural concrete of New York City.
Bierut is a director of the Architectural League of New York and a
member of New Yorkers for Parks. He created wayfinding signage for
the Alliance for Downtown New York, assisting millions of tourists
navigating the streets of Lower Manhattan. Bierut's pieces can be
seen at two New York museums, the Museum of Modern Art and the
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, and more around the world.
It was also in New York that he became involved with AIGA,
initially drawn into the fold when asked to DJ chapter events.
Bierut was president of AIGA's AIGA's New York
chapter from 1988 to 1990 and president of AIGA from 1998 to
2001; he has since been named to the Art Directors Hall of Fame and
the Alliance Graphique Internationale.
But Bierut's influence swings far beyond design circles—so far,
in fact, that he is one of the very few people the mainstream media
turns to for design commentary. He's appeared on the public radio
show "Studio 360" with Kurt Andersen to discuss the design of the
Cleveland Indians' baseball stadium. Dwell turns to him
for design book recommendations, Fast Company culls his
opinions on corporate branding, and he is the resident design
expert for articles in the New York Times. Debbie Millman
has called him a "design personality." In Graphis, Michael
Kaplan called him a "design generalist."
But it is as a "design observer," more specifically as a founder
of the online design journal Design Observer, which has
garnered him a different kind of design audience. Here, Bierut can
lure the likes of William Goldman and Stanley Kubrick into the
realms of collaboration and typography, respectively. He
effectively blends music and design when he pens a remembrance of
the soul singer Wilson Pickett. He seamlessly, coherently, weaves
references from Pulp Fiction to Napoleon Dynamite
into the very fabric of design debate, somehow making the whole
thing more relevant, more accessible—more fun.
Paula Scher,
Bierut's partner at Pentagram since 1991, says this grasp of pop
culture is evidence of even greater talent. "Michael has a brain
that is a giant compendium," Scher says. "He absorbs and retains
everything and pulls it out at the appropriate moment and uses it
to its maximal effect. Mention a movie and he quotes from it, maybe
he enacts a little scene. Mention a book and he recites a passage
and relates it to three other books that have the same spirit, that
you haven't read, but you will now. Mention a designer or architect
and he knows the most recent project they've completed and their
first project, how they've changed, how they haven't, who
influenced them, who they influence, and he sometimes will make a
little sketch or diagram of their work. There isn't a day that goes
by when I haven't asked Michael what he knows about anything and
what he thinks about everything. If knowledge is power, then
Michael Bierut is the most powerful person in the entire design
In an essay on Design Observer, Bierut explains that it took him
half his career to realize design is really about the ability to
make connections to other things. He cautions designers, young and
old, to remember this above all else. "Not everything is design,"
he writes. "But design is about everything. So do yourself a favor:
be ready for anything."
With Bierut as our lead vocalist, we are.

40th Independence Bowl Set For Today In Shreveport
Shreveport celebrates 40 years of college football post season games with today's Camping World Independence Bowl.
Shreveport celebrates 40 years of college football post season games with today's Camping World Independence Bowl.
Today is the day this year's teams, Virginia Tech and Tulsa, arrive in Shreveport for the 2015 Camping World Independence Bowl taking place this Saturday, December 26.
The C-17 Globemaster III will be making a trip down south from Washington.
The 2015 Independence Bowl will host the Virginia Tech Hokies against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on December 26th.
While it's too soon to know for sure who's coming to the Camping World Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA Saturday, December 26, 2015, that's not stopping some reputable, and not so reputable websites, from making predictions.
The cat is out of the bag. Camping World will be the Independence Bowl sponsor. The 2015 bowl game is scheduled for Saturday, December 26 and will be known as the Camping World Independence Bowl.
Former NFL Running Back and LSU Great Jacob Hester will be the keynote speaker at a youth Football clinic put on by the Independence Bowl Foundation.
Despite the inclement weather, I had a blast at the Duck Commander Independence Bowl Saturday. The teams (South Carolina and Miami) were great and it was a good, close scoring gaming...
The Independence Bowl Foundation has announced the matchup of teams for this year's game.
Emmitt Smith spoke this afternoon at the Shreveport Convention Center for the Duck Commander Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. The interview style session was moderated by Tim Brando.
Independence Bowl Officials, Duck Commander representatives and the media assembled today at Superior Steakhouse to make the worst kept secret in North Louisiana official: The Duck Commander Independence Bowl is coming to Shreveport!
Independence Bowl officials have confirmed that Duck Commander is now the title sponsor.

I think that what these hypocritical academics are preaching is in fact sedition or incitement against their own country, rather than freedom of speech. Incidentally can someone enlighten us on the meaning of "academic" freedom (of speech) as opposed to anyone else's freedom. Do the nasties in universities have more immunity against libel and treason than the man in the street? There's nothing special about so-called academics, particularly those who peddle their self-hate agenda at the community's expense.

Montana Tech alumni located throughout southwest Montana. Our events this fall have been focused on tailgating at the MT Tech home games. We've had a great time cheering on the Diggers to several wins, and also meeting more alumni who are interested in joining SWAC for future events.
We're starting to plan winter events such as a hay ride for families, and spring and summer events such as the Digger-Dawg Golf Scramble and a SWAC Floating Day on the Big Hole River. My wife and I just moved back to SW Montana and getting involved in the local alumni chapter has been a great way to get plugged into events and network with other alumni. We encourage you to reach out so we can get your contact information and keep you plugged into what's happening with the local chapter. Go Diggers!

I had medication here and the one thing I have learned is it's never the thing for you to do, once you look down in the lower part of the bottle and you see it should be discarded after so and do date then you should, it is no longer effective, and it isn't the safe thing for you to do. Please discard the medication!! we want the best for you,

One where if anyone tried to introduce any scientific rigour, narrative logic or good old-fashioned common sense the bubble would collapse, taking the entire movie with it. But I find it hard to dislike a movie that strolls into the cinema with its tongue lodged so very firmly in its cheek. Here's the plot in a nutshell:

Student arrested in fire at Roosevelt school
ROOSEVELT — A girl has been booked into the Split Mountain Youth Detention Center after police say she started a fire Monday inside a bathroom at school.
The fire alarm sounded about 1:25 p.m. at Roosevelt Junior High School, forcing the school's faculty and 800 students to evacuate.
Investigators say a female student set the fire inside the girls bathroom, but declined to say what she used to start the blaze.
Flames and smoke were spreading "up the wall and advancing to the ceiling," when they were discovered by Roosevelt Junior High Principal Dean Wilson after the fire alarm sounded, according to Assistant Roosevelt Police Chief Ben Lemmon.
Wilson was able to put the fire out, preventing further damage to the school or injury to students or staff, Lemmon said. The flames were extinguished by the time police officers and firefighters arrived.
Officers used the school's video surveillance system to identify the student who they say started the fire. The case will be referred to the Duchesne County Attorney's Office.

During an interview in New Delhi, Google CEO Sundar Pichai disclosed some important information about the upcoming Android release.
On Wednesday, ZTE started rolling out a software update to two flagship devices sold in the United States. The Axon and Axon Pro (reviewed here) are getting improvements to their cameras, security patches from Google, and better wireless signals.
Google is introducing a new way to take screenshots, one that will be accessible to anyone with an Android device that is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and above. The contextual arm of Google Now, known as Google Now on Tap, now has a dedicated share button to take a screenshot of your display before choosing which app to share it with.
This finally gives every owner of an Android device an identical way to take a screenshot. Before, devices with physical buttons could vary from a combination between the home button, power button, and volume rocker. Now all that needs to be done is Now on Tap's activation.
Among all the companies producing Android devices, HTC is probably the most open and honest regarding software updates. While the company hasn't commented on many of its phones, HTC has revealed when software updates are coming to the One A9 and One M9. The status of other HTC phones could be known as LlabTooFeR laid out an alleged schedule for more than ten others.
When HTC unveiled the One A9 back in September, it vowed to roll out monthly security updates for the handset based on Android's latest patches. According to HTC's Vice President of Product Management, Mo Versi, AT&T is the first and currently the only carrier to start pushing out this month's update.
A few days ago, Google began rolling out the Android 6.0.1 update for Nexus smartphones and tablets. Unfortunately, at the time of release, it wasn't clear what exactly the upgrade bundled aside from compatibility for the brand new emoji set.

Somali al Qaida affiliate al-Shabab woke up one January morning to discover that its popular English-language Twitter account - @HSMPress - had been suspended, apparently because it had issued a direct, specific threat of violence in breach of Twitter's terms of service.
OPINION: This rare termination dusted off one of the counterterrorism industry's most-cobwebbed and least-resolved debates: Should we let terrorist groups use the internet, or should we try to knock them offline?
When the debate first started, not long after 9/11, terrorist use of social media - anything from message boards to Facebook accounts - was concentrated in a relative few channels. Today, it's spread to hundreds of different outlets, including multiple dedicated web forums, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and beyond.
Stopping terrorists from spreading their propaganda online (using US-based internet companies to boot) seems like a no-brainer to many. But within the terrorism studies community, there are two common and sincere objections to disruptive approaches for countering violent extremism online.
The first objection is that knocking terrorists offline "doesn't work", because when you eliminate one account, the terrorists just open up a new account under a different name - which is exactly what al-Shabab did after a little more than a week. And then, the theory goes, you're back to square one. It's a high-tech game of whack-a-mole.
The second objection is that forcing terrorists off the internet destroys a valuable source of intelligence, because government, academic and private sector researchers rely on these online operations for information about what distant groups are doing and who supports them.
"The intelligence community took the position that you cannot take this stuff, you cannot take these sites, down," intelligence historian Matthew Aid told Voice of America last year after a number of jihadist forums went offline. The argument was that more information was gained "by monitoring these sites than any possible advantage that could be derived from shutting them down. And the intelligence community prevailed on this point."
Until now, there has been precious little data in the public domain to clearly support or refute either notion. But al-Shabab's termination is what scientists call a "found experiment" - a free lunch in which the universe hands you the data you need to test a theory.
Al-Shabab is a particularly useful example, since its Twitter account has by most measures been one of the most successful terrorist forays into popular social media. But it's not the only one. Jabhat al-Nusra already has more Twitter followers than al-Shabab ever did, and jihadis are by no means the only extremists using the medium. So the lessons learned from this example are likely to have broad applications.
Theory One: Disruption accomplishes nothing because they just come roaring back
I collected a list of @HSMPress's followers on January 16, less than a week before the account was suspended on January 25. At the time, al-Shabab had nearly 21,000 followers. As of Sunday, February 17, two weeks after its creation, the new account had just passed the 2400-follower mark.
Obviously, al-Shabab will continue to rebuild its follower network, but a disruption doesn't have to be permanent to be effective. From January 26 to February 17, al-Shabab averaged about 1300 followers per day. It currently has less than 12 per cent of its former reach. And its followers are in no hurry to come back.
If it maintains its current rate of growth, al-Shabab will need six months to a year to rebuild its former network. While that pace could well accelerate, there's also no guarantee the account will ever fully recover.
Significantly, Al Jazeera English did a story on al-Shabab's return during the period used to make this forecast. The story linked directly to al-Shabab's account, yet it barely moved the needle in terms of generating new followers for the Somali terrorists.
So the termination is likely to produce months or more of disadvantage to al-Shabab. Its ability to communicate with fans and generate a supportive social network certainly hasn't been eliminated, but it's been seriously and measurably damaged for a fairly significant length of time.
This isn't the only dataset suggesting that disruptions to online extremist networks do long-term damage. An ambitious New America Foundation paper published recently by Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, tracked the number of posts per day at the most important jihadi message forums.
Zelin also benefited from a found experiment when two of the three top forums he was tracking were knocked offline for a significant amount of time. The cause of the disruption is still unknown, but its effects were easy to see in Zelin's data.
While two of the three forums were offline, the third one picked up some activity - but not nearly enough to compensate for the loss of other two. The overall number of posts per day plummeted by 80 percent. After the two disrupted forums returned, their posts per day ran 13 percent lower than before the takedown.
One reason the disruption was less severe on the forums than on Twitter has to do with the structure of each network. When al-Shabab's Twitter account was terminated, it lost all of its followers and had to rebuild from scratch. User accounts on the forums can be backed up, so users did not have to re-register and they could jump right back in.
The forums are also destination web sites; you go there seeking out specific kinds of discussion and community. On Twitter, where attention spans are shorter, most users follow multiple accounts, so the loss of @HSMPress was more easily overlooked.
Importantly, although there's a web forum devoted specifically to al-Shabab, it has never gained nearly the same kind of traction that the Arabic jihadist forums enjoy. Al-Shabab is much more reliant on social media than the broader global jihadist community, so the termination of its Twitter account was a pretty big deal.
Theory Two: You lose valuable intelligence by knocking terrorists offline
@HSMPress had 21,000 followers - surely that's more useful than 2400, right? It's intuitive to think that more is better in the intelligence business - no matter how many times solid leads drown while we try to drink from the fire hose.
But although we're still getting the same basic information from the account's tweets, our ability to evaluate al-Shabab's social network of supporters just got a big boost.
Twitter accounts accrue followers; that is their nature. Some of those followers are indiscriminate about who they link up with, others become inactive over time. Some are curiosity-seekers with a casual interest who are too lazy to unfollow. The vast majority are simply passive consumers of information.
Any time you can weed a data set down from large and fuzzy down to small and focused, you're winning the intelligence game. The active social network that springs up around a propaganda account is its most important feature, and to study it, you need to winnow that list of 21,000 users down to the handful who are really engaged.
There are many different ways to do this, but here's just one, and it happens to be easy. We know who followed al-Shabab in January, and we know follows al-Shabab at its new account. There's noise in the new list of 2400 followers as well, but we can use a comparison of the two lists to figure out who among the first group made a conscious effort to find and follow al-Shabab at its new address.
The former followers who quickly signed up for al-Shabab's new Twitter account - just 882 users - have a serious interest in the al Qaida affiliate's activities.
While there is still some noise in the set - well over 100 journalists and researchers, for instance - this smaller group forms a strong starting point for analysis. We know these users are more likely to be very interested in al-Shabab, and the number is manageable enough that a single analyst can look at each account individually to make a more sophisticated evaluation.
A concerted effort to keep al-Shabab off Twitter forever would indeed cost Western observers valuable intelligence. But "forever" is only one option in a universe of possibilities. The "found experiment" of al-Shabab's Twitter suspension demonstrates that disrupting terrorists online doesn't hurt intelligence-gathering. It strengthens it.
In the world of countering violent extremism, opinions are plentiful, but unambiguous data are rare. Al-Shabab's travails provide us with clear evidence for the value of disruption.
All of this illustrates an important but oft overlooked point: Strategy doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition.
Total suppression of extremists on the internet would cost us real intelligence, but that isn't a reason to just let them do whatever they want.
By making their lives difficult, we make ours easier in ways large and small.

Finance Minister Bill English may be confident the economy is on track for a moderate expansion in 2013, but New Zealanders are far more pessimistic about growth, jobs and salary prospects.
That's according to the latest HorizonPoll survey conducted at the end of last year, which showed that 34.2 per cent of respondents expected the economy to decline in 2013, versus 28.9 per cent who saw it growing.
The dour macroeconomic outlook worsened for manufacturing, with 42.9 per cent of respondents expecting the sector to decline versus 25 per cent who expected it to pick up.
That fed into employment and earnings expectations, with two-fifths expecting the job market to decline, and almost half expecting household incomes to fall in the year ahead.
Just over 32 per cent of respondents said they expected their retail spending to decline, narrowly edging out 31.1 per cent who expected it to remain static.
The survey was based on an online poll of 2425 people late last year, who were pre-selected from purchased lists to match the demographic and political breakdown of the country.
The results broadly match the Institute of Economic Research's most recent consensus forecast, which polled banks, institutional investors, Treasury and the Reserve Bank, and showed they see the job market softening, unemployment remaining high and wages subdued.
However, the NZIER poll showed overall economic growth was seen at an average 2.5 per cent over the next three years thanks to the Christchurch rebuild.
HorizonPoll manager Grant McInman noted households with incomes of $70,000 to $200,000 were more likely to hold a positive view of the economy.
However, the wealthy (those earning $200,000 or more), intellectuals as well as business owners and the self-employed were likely to have a glass-half-empty view of their prospects in 2013.
The areas where Kiwis were upbeat were on exports, with 34 per cent expecting the sale of New Zealand-produced goods offshore to pick up, versus 23.3 who predicted a decline.
That appears to be largely driven by agriculture, with 36.7 per cent forecasting the sector will grow over the next 12 months, and only 16 per cent picking a drop in farm activity.
Research and development activity was largely split between pessimists, optimists and those who expected no substantial change.
Just under 30 per cent expected the conditions of the environment to decline versus 19 per cent who saw it improving in the year ahead.

Maricopa county discusses new rules for restaurant play areas
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Maricopa County met with local restaurant owners Thursday morning to discuss proposed regulations to keep indoor play areas clean.
Under the new guidelines, play areas would be included in a restaurant health inspection. Restaurants would have to clean the area once per eight hour shirt, and would have to have hand sanitizer or a hand washing sink in that area.
"When these places buy one of these play structures, they make an agreement with the manufacturer that they will clean and maintain it," said Dr. Erin Carr-Jordan of Chandler. "It's already in place what they should do, so it's nothing new, it's already there."
Carr-Jordan has been on a crusade to get tougher regulations in place for months now. She believes local restaurant owner have their customers' best interests, and safety, in mind. She is just looking for something stronger in writing.
"We already have these standards in place at our restaurant," said Don Elem, an owner of a Chandler Chick-Fil-A. "We feel having a clean bathroom, a clean playground, and a clean dining room is really what people want."
The new rules could go in to effect later this year. However, local restaurant owners are giving feedback to make some adjustment to the proposed guidelines before they are part of the inspection. Some owners said that since they already have regulations in place, the proposed rules would be a unnecessary burden.
"It's a little too aggressive, specifically with the things restaurants already have in place," said Sherry Gillespie of the Arizona Restaurant Association. "Restaurants already have mandates in place to address what to do when things happen in the play area, and in the dining room, especially if they are part of a chain."

I know the chemistry of emulsifiers but am not convinced by Walmart's explanation.<quoted text>
If you read the article (or have any experience with food chem) the properties of emulsifiers are well known. Emulsifiers are also a cheap way to bulk up the food.
Walmart made the claim that it was the cream content, not the guar. Obviously they are idiots for assuming people would buy that explanation.
A normal ice-cream is made with a specific ratio of ingredients or else it will not have the desired consistency.
I think Walmart, given its shady rep and destructive tendencies against which many protests have been launched in many parts of the world including India, is secretly adding a certain percentage of synthetics to the ice-cream mix which ups the adhesive forces over the cohesive forces of the various ingredients thereby making it relatively more thermally stable than a normal ice-cream.
Well, whatever...

How do you measure SEO performance now that "not provided" keyword data is so prevalent?
This question comes up frequently in client meetings and conversations with colleagues in the industry.
In some cases, "not provided" keyword traffic percentages represent more than 50 percent of a client's search referral volume. This creates a significant hurdle when you're trying to demonstrate results for campaign initiatives.
The challenges SEOs face in demonstrating ROI of keyword strategies mirror greater concerns B2B marketers have with website optimization initiatives overall. A recent MarketingSherpa article highlights the fact that more than half (53 percent) of B2B marketers surveyed indicated they couldn't (or didn't) calculate the ROI of their website strategies.
The information is significant because (according to those surveyed) the website accounts for 25 percent of all marketing spending.
Demonstrating ROI is a critical element of marketing performance. B2B SEO professionals would be wise to do their part in the process, which includes being proactive and creative when faced with mounting reporting obstacles such as increased "not provided" traffic.
Here are five recommendations for providing greater performance measurement on B2B SEO programs, impacted by "not provided" traffic percentages.
Landing Page SEO Attribution
The most direct method for evaluating SEO strategies when faced with increasing "not provided" percentages is to track individual landing page performance. In Google Analytics, the first step is to filter "not provided" keyword data by "Landing Page" to get a sense of what content logged in searchers are landing on.
Select the Secondary Dimension "Landing Page":
Results show what pages logged-in searchers landed on when finding website information in Google search engine results:
This is a critical way you can explain the value of content marketing assets, created to provide visibility for important keyword strategies, and limited by "not provided" search percentages. Landing page attribution helps:
- Define visitor success metrics of specific pages SEOs created or made recommendations for, by way of traffic, page performance, and (hopefully) goal completion.
- Set benchmarks for comparing the traffic performance of SEO assets against other traffic referral channels.
While we no longer have complete visibility into the keyword referral types generated by Google users, we can make reasonable assumptions by better analyzing landing page information from those visitors.
SEO Landing Page Navigational Performance
While conversion tracking, in terms of lead volume and conversion rate, are critical benchmarks. However depending on the type of content assets created sales ready leads might be difficult to realize. There is a bigger story SEO campaigns can tell through navigational performance analysis.
In addition to evaluating the specific pages "not provided" searchers landed on, B2B SEO professionals should investigate the paths website visitors take when accessing SEO landing page as well.
In Google Analytics, the "Navigational Summary", found in the "Content" section, provides important performance metrics. This data set can be critical for SEO-specific web pages like blog posts or viral marketing assets, usually meant more so for driving traffic and link acquisition, as opposed to direct leads.
Document the number and percentage of times visitors to jump from this page to a key conversion-oriented page, such as a request for download or request for evaluation type web asset. These types of metrics provide more concrete, immediate evidence that SEO landing pages drive qualified traffic, as well as provide opportunities for keyword visibility and links.
Prospect Page Performance
Lead management and marketing automation systems deliver visitor reports to clients; often daily. These reports usually show the following metrics associated to potential sales prospects, which can be valuable for B2B SEO performance evaluation:
- Keyword Referral Data: Which keywords the prospect used to access the site.
- Referral Source: This might be advantageous if we can trace back to link acquisition campaigns.
- Pages Visited: Critical for establishing whether SEO landing pages are being accessed by prospective customers.
B2B SEO professionals should ensure they are receiving summary reporting data (or access to the lead management dashboards overall) in order to evaluate whether SEO landing pages are being accessed by prospective buyers and what the visitor path was like, start to finish. This type of analysis creates a direct connection between SEO initiatives and lead nurturing programs.
Inbound Link Report
The content marketing assets built for particular keyword strategies should also acquire inbound links, either organically or through direct communication. Inbound link reporting is another way you can overcome gaps in keyword-specific measurement.
Google Webmaster Tools is the first place to look for inbound link information, specific to SEO related content marketing assets. Pay attention to both the domains and total links acquired per content marketing asset developed.
Bing Webmaster Tools also has an inbound link reporting tool and it is interesting to compare differences both search engines have in these reports. They both still provide good metrics for defining the value of SEO related content assets, and the links acquired with them.
Use an independent link tracking tool as well, such as RavenTools Link Manager or even an internally shared spreadsheet. Cross-reference this data with each search engine's link reports as well, to get a sense of what information the search engines prioritize.
Social Media Mention
Content marketing assets should be designed to be shared in social media platforms as well. While measuring the volume of shares and mentions through various social sites is a good baseline metric, the key is in noting "business significant" social media profiles involved in this process. Examples of business significant profiles might include:
- Industry influencers
- Profiles representing solid link building opportunities
- Target prospects or customers
HootSuite is good for social media communication initiatives, because of the ease of use in tracking mentions, click rates on updates, and influence measurement.
The above screenshot is an example of a university profile we found mentioning one of our clients, and a key opportunity for link acquisition as well as long-term business development (for our client).
Final Thoughts
While this column focuses on the impact of "not provided" keyword data, almost all of these recommendations cover broader SEO performance measurement as well. Digging deeper into the data to uncover successes in SEO is critical for B2B marketing performance measurement, especially for organizations that rely more heavily on organic search.

Netflix 3D Streaming Coming Soon?
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says 3D streaming is "something we can do and we will be looking at."
The rumor that Netflix will offer 3D streaming is certainly nothing new. But CEO Reed Hastings is fueling the fire, saying Netflix is indeed working on a little something for its 3D-capable subscribers.
In a conference call last week, Hastings said (via GigaOM) Netflix is renting 3D Blu-rays. He couldn't comment on the popularity of that offering, only saying that disc rentals were down overall. "On streaming, that is definitely something we can do and we will be looking at," Hastings said.
You probably shouldn't hold your breath. After all, Netflix said it was planning to offer game rentals, and that is not happening. Hastings made that announcement during the same call. Netflix first said it would pursue that option during last summer's Quickster fiasco.
There's no word on how far off 3D streaming is (or if it will ever happen). For now, Netflix plans to keep popping up on more devices, as well as launch Netflix for Kids. Netflix is also working on creating separate streaming queues for families and adding more original programming to its lineup.
Will 3D Netflix streaming breathe any life into 3D? Sound off in the comments.
