SEO Case Study: Cates Pressure WashingBill May November 12, 2015
If you build it, will they come?
Not if they can't find it!
There are three (3) main types of SEO:
- Traffic boosting – This is just as the name implies, trying to increase the amount of visitors to your site.
- Conversions – This is trying to gain your target audience and convert them into clients or purchasers of your products.
- SERPs – Search engine ranking position. Search engines rank your site for a list of given key phrases. This is the one we will be focusing on for this client, as we believe for many products and services, if you are listed on the front page for a given set of key phrases, then you can be found. Now it's up to your website to convert these people into clients, or your phone skills once the client has called for your services.

LONDON, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As Europe continues to witness high fraud rates, mainly during card-not-present payments, the need for robust identity access management (IAM) solutions, especially in the sensitive government, financial services, and healthcare sectors, is intensifying. The rapidly increasing uptake of mobile data services further highlights the need to comprehensively secure mobile devices. However, the rise in transactions and volume of data exchanged impacts the number of security processes required to ensure payment privacy protection as well as the total time taken to perform them. As such, the market is looking at solutions that externalise authentication and identity management to the cloud, thereby optimising cost and creating a single level of security for users globally.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.smartcards.frost.com), Payment Privacy Protection - Global Security Implications, finds that the government and financial services market for IAM solutions will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 29.7 percent and 31.2 percent respectively during the 2012-2018 period.
Most security conscious organisations today use the multi-factor authentication model. However, from a cost efficiency point of view, software IAM solutions are more relevant.
"Effective IAM solutions enable companies to identify users and create profiles. This helps determine whether they should be allowed access to sensitive data and also to simplify access management. The single sign-on (SSO) technology requires users to be identified only once," said Frost & Sullivan Information & Communication Technologies Global Programme Director Jean-Noel Georges. "In fact, new entrants and niche players in the payment privacy protection market could significantly benefit from offering flexible, cost-effective, cloud-based payment security solutions."
Unfortunately, the plethora of privacy breaches that occurred globally in 2013 have made end users across Europe sceptical of payment security solutions. The most serious infringement involved the unauthorised storage of private emails and phone calls of US citizens by the National Security Agency and major social media players.
"To maintain the consistency and integrity of stored information, security processes and practices should be aligned with enterprise policies," remarked Georges. "It is also important for vendors to adhere to local and national policies to ensure payment privacy protection across Europe."

In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to innovation and transformation into digital enterprises. The first path is the heritage trail – with "legacy" technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a lea...

Aoife Finn's PhD research into the syntax of the Maori dialect te reo is making the headlines here and down under! Much like the Irish language, te reo is spoken by only a minority of the indigenous people, and Aoife is one of a select few linguists globally who have devoted themselves to studying the language.
Aoife, who is a PhD student of Dr. Brian Nolan, was recently invited as a special guest of Te Wananga O Aotearoa to take part in their national language celebrations.
See this video of Aoife's appearance on New Zealand National News!

The lobster roll has become the New England summertime sandwich of choice. Tasty chunks of lobster meat drizzled with butter or tossed with mayo and served up on a crisp, buttery bun are all the rage these days. Food and travel writer Mike Urban, author of Lobster Shacks: A Road-Trip Guide to New England's Best Lobster Joints (Countryman Press, 2012) has shared his picks for the 10 best lobster rolls in New England.
Red's Eats If you can handle the hour-plus wait in line on the sidewalk along busy U.S. Route 1, your sweet reward will be a magnificent lobster roll that's known far and wide as one of the best in Maine. With tail, claw, and knuckle meat from a 1+/-pound lobster, this roll is bigger than most and may be had with mayo, warm butter, neither, or both. Wiscasset, ME. 207-882-6128
Five Islands Lobster Company This shack is perfectly positioned on the town dock to receive a steady flow of super-fresh lobster from the cold, deep waters of nearby Sheepscot Bay. The lobster is fresh-picked throughout the day, tossed with a bit of mayo, and served in a toasted, buttered, split-top bun lined with a leafy piece of lettuce. Cold rolls only are served here; no butter. Georgetown, ME. 207-371-2990; fiveislandslobster.com
The Clam Shack This is the best lobster roll in the six-state region. Owner Steve Kingston's meticulous use of fresh-daily, soft shell lobsters and chilling each handpicked order on ice creates a freshness of flavor unmatched anywhere. Served on toasted, buttered hamburger-style buns from a local bakery, the Clam Shack's cold-meat rolls may be had with mayonnaise or warm butter. This is the lobster roll by which all others should be measured. Kennebunk, ME. 207-967-3321; theclamshack.net
The Lobster Pool Nestled in a quiet corner of Cape Ann, this pretty little spot serves up the best lobster roll between Boston and the New Hampshire border. Each roll at the Pool is made to order with generous chunks of lobster mixed in a small bowl with mayo, then placed atop a crunchy leaf of lettuce and wedged into a toasted, buttered split-top bun. Butter may be substituted for mayo, on request. The Pool's lobsters are procured fresh daily from a supplier in neighboring Gloucester, then cooked up and hand-picked at the Pool throughout the day. Rockport, MA. 978-546-7808; lobsterpoolrestaurant.com
Lobster Landing Owners Enea and Cathie Bacci have put a unique Italian spin on their hot, buttered lobster roll at this quaint, dilapidated shack next to the Clinton town harbor. Instead of making their lobster rolls with split-top hot dog buns, they load their warm, buttered lobster meat into hefty Italian grinder rolls that have been toasted on a standard-issue, propane-fired backyard barbecue grill. The result is a warm, buttery, crispy-crunchy lobster roll that pleases in both quantity and quality. Clinton, CT. (860) 669-2005
Rye Harbor Lobster Pound Down by the town dock in Rye Harbor is a tiny, sunny shack that serves some of the most innovative lobster dishes anywhere in New England. From Lobster Gazpacho to Lobster Pizza, there's plenty to try here. Don't miss the hot lobster roll with the meat bathed in a warm butter-and-sherry sauce and served on a buttered split-top bun that's toasted on a plug-in griddle. There's also a cold roll with mayo, a touch of celery, and a hint of lemon. Rye Harbor, NH. 603-964-7845
The Friendly Fisherman On a relatively tame stretch of U.S. Route 6 about 20 miles south of Provincetown sits the Friendly Fisherman, a quaint seafood market with a tree-shaded seafood shack attached to it. This place serves up an honest, genuine cold lobster roll with five ounces of meat, a touch of mayo, a crispy leaf of lettuce, and a mightily burdened split-top, buttered, toasted hot dog bun. Big chunks of claw meat always appear on top of the roll for presentation's sake—and what a presentation it is. Cold rolls only are served here; butter may be mixed in, upon request. North Eastham, MA. 508-255-6770; friendlyfishermaneastham.com
Anthony's Seafood This warehouse-like seafood market on a commercial strip north of Newport masks a wonderful eatery that serves up a heaping, six-ounce lobster roll that comes with fries, coleslaw, and a pickle for a belt-busting plate of lobster-roll goodness. The picked-fresh-daily lobster meat is tossed with a bit of mayo and lightly sprinkled with white pepper. The price tag is higher than most, but the extra cost is well worth it. Middletown, RI. (401) 846-9620; anthonysseafood.net
Quoddy Bay Lobster This small seafood market and lobster shack is about as far northeast as you can go in the United States. Owned by a local lobstering family, Quoddy Bay Lobster is blessed with its location astride the deepest, coldest port and waters on the Eastern seaboard, perfect for propagating big, tasty lobsters. Their cold-only lobster roll comes plain or with mayo, Miracle Whip, or drizzled butter. They recently added a jumbo 8-ounce lobster roll on an 8-inch bun to the menu. Eastport, ME. (207) 853-6640
Abbott's Lobster in the Rough This venerable institution of lobster goodness also recently added an item to their menu: the OMG Lobster Roll—seven ounces of warm, buttered lobster meat stacked like a cone between two toasted, buttered hamburger buns–with a long toothpick through the center to hold the whole thing together. This is an upsize version of Abbott's famous hot, buttered lobster roll, which looks much the same, only at about half the size. Abbott's also serves a cold lobster roll, with the meat lightly bathed in Abbott's house dressing and served in a more traditional toasted, split-top hot dog bun. Noank, CT. (860) 536-7719; abbottslobster.com

William Hung
The San Francisco Bay Area is filled with lots of dorkballs, gaylords, punkers, and other people who just sort of suck at life. William Hung was one of them, but now he's graduated to celebrity status. Despite getting the shaft on American Idol, Willy's gone and made a record of cover songs. If he keeps going at this rate, he's gonna stop sucking soon.
Inspiration is probably the best album that I've bought since the new Slayer record. At first, it didn't sound too good, but neither does half of the experimental shit that I buy. And, really, that's what this is; it should be filed next to the Boredoms and the Melvins, because it's a noisy, tough listen. But I gotta hand it to Willy: He's made something original. His version of Elton John's "Rocket Man" is loaded with melody and ear-tickling harmony. The screeching notes at the end of "I Believe I Can Fly" are a little harsh, but Hung makes up for it with a rendition of the Eagles' "Hotel California" so laden with reverb that it sounds like he's singing inside a long, dark anus.
This record may not warrant repeat listens, but it's cheap enough for any smart shopper. You get the entire album and a 40-minute DVD that chronicles Hung's escape from Suckdom -- all for $9.99. What's more, the CD packs a two-for-one deal: It's part cover songs, part self-help book. In between jams, William stops partying for a second and shows off his soft side with inspirational spoken-word tracks. Will's got guts. He's living his dreams. I dream, but I never do anything. Man, this album truly is an Inspiration. I'm not gonna sit around and waste any more time having sucky daydreams and eating SnackWell's. I'm gonna get out there and suck real hard. -- Todd Lamb

Marc Veasey Doesn't Like Domingo Garcia "Trumpeting" Black Paper's Endorsement
Marc Veasey has twice accused political rival Domingo Garcia of using or endorsing racially offensive language.
In case you haven't been paying attention, the race for the 33rd Congressional District is still a pissing match likely to end up in a runoff between between Domingo Garcia and Marc Veasey for the Democratic nomination.
A quick recap: Garcia called big SUVs un-American, which led Veasey to proclaim his love for General Motors, which prompted Garcia to refer to Veasey as the "errand boy" of the corporate establishment, which Veasey's campaign and others decried as evidence of anti-black racism by Garcia. Garcia, in turn, accused Veasey of calling Civil Rights icon Joseph Lowery senile.
The latest salvo hit my inbox this morning. Veasey's campaign is now blasting Garcia for "trumpeting" an North Dallas Gazette editorial endorsing Garcia.
The campaign points to "multiple insulting phrases" directed toward African American candidates and politicians and helpfully culls some of the offenders:
"It seems the African American candidates have let their communities down while not embracing Hispanics either."
"Unfortunately, African Americans continue to dominate the unemployment rates and African American politicians have seemingly done nothing short of delivering empty promises that gain momentum during the election process."
"For far too long Dallas African American politicians have over promised and under-delivered."
"African American political figures have done little to reach across the color line to include Hispanics and vice versa."

The North Dallas Gazette, huh. Can't you just picture a newsroom full of smug white people, white hoods folded neatly beside the typewriter for easy access, hammering out screeds about the Negro problem (and speaking in adulatory tones about Hispanics?) from some McMansion in Preston Hollow?
Not quite. The paper is headquartered in Plano, not Preston Hollow, presumably not in a McMansion. More to the point, NDG can fairly be described as a black paper, one that is owned and staffed by black journalists and focuses its coverage on the black community.
You can see, then, why Garcia felt comfortable trumpeting the endorsement. From a "white paper," those statements would undoubtedly be labeled racist. But from a paper owned and run by African Americans, the statements trumpeted by the Veasey campaign feel more like an honest if oversimplified assessment of black political leadership from within.
In an email, NDG Editor Ruth Ferguson said the paper stands behind its editorial and declined further comment.

Police link fentanyl to three deaths in Addison CountyFebruary 06,2014Staff Report
BURLINGTON - Health and public safety officials are warning heroin users that product sold as heroin and packaged in the same manner as heroin may instead contain pure fentanyl or fentanyl-laced heroin.
The Vermont Department of Health reported Thursady afternoon it has just confirmed the cause of three deaths in Addison County in January to be overdoses from pure fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and much deadlier.
"Heroin users may not know they are shooting up fentanyl, or they may not know just how deadly it is," said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. "Even a very small amount of pure fentanyl, just a few grains, can stop your breathing and kill."
Fentanyl generally is used intravenously in hospitals to treat pain.
Police said this week they are trying to develop information about the packaging source and distribution of the drug.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

Perhaps there never would have been a Bulls dynasty without Rod Thorn. After all, the longtime NBA executive was running the Bulls when the team drafted Michael Jordan.
Or maybe things would have been even better if during Thorn's six years as Bulls general manager the Bulls hadn't messed up chances to draft Magic Johnson, Maurice Cheeks and Sidney Moncrief …

It was a little bit of June Tuesday played out in January, a Golden State Warriors team fast breaking toward greatness and a Bulls team with the resume if not always the resolve.

One of the great teams in NBA history was the late 1980's Los Angeles Lakers. When they won the NBA title in 1987, they gave up the 12th most points in the league. When they repeated in 1988, they gave up the 11th most points and were ninth in shooting defense.

NBA balloting for the All-Star team started Thursday, and for just the second time in franchise history it would appear the Bulls have a chance to have three All-Stars.

Question: What Is Sacroiliitis?

Answer:

Sacroiliitis is inflammation located at the sacroiliac joints. While wear-and-tear arthritis (osteoarthritis), trauma and pregnancy-related changes can cause sacroiliac joint pain, sacroiliitis is caused by inflammatory arthritis or, rarely, infection and cancer. Sacroiliitis is a key symptom of several forms of inflammatory arthritis and is often the first to make itself known in these diseases. Sacroiliitis most commonly occurs when you have chronic inflammatory arthritis in the spine (called spondylitis). As a clinical sign, sacroiliitis plays a major role in diagnosing spondylitis.

Symptoms of Sacroiliitis

Sacroiliitis may be felt as deep pain in the back or buttocks that gets better with activity. It generally is worst at night or in the early morning. Sacroiliitis is a common cause of inflammatory back pain.

Symptoms of sacroiliitis tend to occur early on in the course of ankylosing spondylitis, and may be the reason your sacroiliac joints are tender if you have this disease. Ankylosing spondylitis is the most common type of spondylitis.

Diagnosing Sacroiliitis

To diagnose sacroiliitis, your doctor may order an x-ray, MRI or CT scan. She may also order lab tests to find out if an infection is a cause. An x-ray shows what's going on in your bones, making it a good tool for following the changes in your pelvic and spinal bones as the disease progresses.

For decades, the x-ray was the only imaging test used to diagnose sacroiliitis (and spondylitis). The problem with using x-rays to diagnose sacroiliitis is that it takes many years for evidence of the condition to become visual. More recently, new MRI techniques have entered the scene. These techniques allow doctors to see the active inflammation responsible for the bone changes that is subsequently picked up by x-rays. The use of MRI has in some cases greatly sped diagnosis time.

Related: What is Active Inflammation?

If early on, your doctor suspects spondylitis, she may order an MRI done with a specialized technique called short tau inversion recovery (acronym STIR). Another common MRI technique for sacroiliitis is the gadolinium T1 MRI. If you have the gadolinium test, you'll need to undergo a dye injection.

A CT scan may also be valuable in diagnosing spondylitis, but the specialized MRIs often prove themselves as the most useful for this purpose.

Living With Sacroiliitis

Sacroiliitis may disrupt your usual activities. For example, the pain tends to get worse when you stand for a long time, when you stand on one leg, when you climb stairs and/or when you run or walk with large strides.

Treatment for Sacroiliitis

Treatment for sacroiliitis focuses on relieving symptoms, improving function, and potentially slowing disease progression. Treatment may include pain-relieving medication, muscle relaxers, corticosteroid injections, DMARDS or TNF-alpha blockers, along with physical therapy. You'll likely learn stretching, strengthening and posture exercises in physical therapy. Procedures such as radiofrequency denervation or electrical stimulation may also help control the pain. Surgery is rare, but sometimes the fusion of the sacroiliac joints is done to help relieve pain.

|PIease Read Before Adopting an Alaskan Malamute in Florida
Alaskan Malamute Dogs can make good pets in Florida if they match your IifestyIe. The Alaskan Malamute is an extremely friendly, large breed. Alaskan Malamutes are wonderful with older children. Alaskan Malamutes like to roam outside and need a large yard or acreage. Fences should be high with a buried base, since Alaskan Malamutes like to dig and can get out easily. The Alaskan Malamute is rowdy as a puppy but calms down as an adult dog. Human companionship is important as Alaskan Malamutes can get into trouble and ruin property if not given enough attention. Alaskan Malamutes need to be socialized with children and other dogs at an early age. Alaskan Malamutes, especially males, can be very dominant and may fight with other dogs if not exposed to them when young.

I don't know about you, but my inbox has been inundated with holiday messages from a multitude of businesses–big and small–reminding me 'tis the season'.
It's easy to feel turned off by the materialism, but I have found a way to enjoy this time of year by bringing a little mindfulness to the process.
I put together my Christmas gift list and look forward to collecting special gifts for my loved ones. I remember last year, a few days before Christmas, laying all the gifts on my coffee table and feeling good that each one was either made by a local artist or by fair trade artists around the world.
Fair trade is more than a feel good purchase. It accomplishes so many things at once.
Gratitude: It allows us to give a thoughtful gift to the people closest to us–the people who enjoy life's up and downs with us, who help us along the path and who we help along the path. It is a symbol of gratitude.
* Less is More: Because it is handmade, is it preserving craft and art forms that have been part of different cultures for countless years. These expressions are from the heart, they tell a human story and cannot be massed produced in factories with machines.
* Girl Power: 76% of fair trade artisans are women. That means that women are the ones benefiting from your fair trade purchases. They are receiving fair wages and health care, have access to literacy and health education among other great benefits. Learn more.
* Healing Communities: In my experience of working with fair trade artisan groups, I have seen communities uplifted by the alternative income and fair trade's investment in education and health care.
When I think about giving gifts as a way that benefits everyone from the artisan to the recipient, it brings me joy. I hope some fair trade items make it on your list this year. Don't know where to find them? Check out the Fair Trade Federation's Holiday Gift Guide. All of the members listed in this guide are companies that are fully committed to fair trade principles. My business, Dolma, is featured on page 8.
Happy Holidays Elephant readers. I hope it's a time of appreciation and abundance for all of you!
Melinda Haselton is the owner and founder of Dolma, a Burlington, Vermont-based fair trade company. She works with artisan groups and schools in India with the hope of healing communities through fair trade and education. She also serves as the Programs Director of Fair Trade Burlington. Find her on Twitter @DolmaFairTrade and Facebook.

European Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas responsible for transport met with top-level representatives of the European transport and logistics sector. The occasion was the launch meeting of the High Level Group on Logistics (HLGL), set up to provide strategic advice on the future transport policy measures with impact on logistics.
Transport represents a crucial sector of the economy. The Statistical Pocketbook provides an overview of the most recent and most pertinent annual transport related statistics in Europe. It covers the European Union and its 27 Member States and, as far as possible, the current EU candidate countries and the EFTA countries.
The content of the pocketbook is based on a range of sources including Eurostat, international organisations, national statistics and, where no data was available, on Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport own estimates.
Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport estimates have mainly been produced to get an idea of the EU total. At the level of individual countries, they are merely indicative and should by no means be (mis-)interpreted as "official" data.

The father of a 16-year-old Pakistani Christian girl who was sexually assaulted by Muslim attackers in Sheikhupura, Punjab, has said that he sees no hope in his quest to find justice for his daughter, criticizing the country's legal system.
"Obviously the police will not implicate them," Nasar Masih said of his daughter's rapists, according to Christians in Pakistan.
Masih's daughter was reportedly raped by 23-year-old Muhammad Iqrar and his accomplices on July 7. The father managed to break into Iqrar's house after hearing his daughter's cries, though the attackers fled the scene of the crime. more >>
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's recent assertion that slaves who worked on the White House were "well fed" and housed in "decent lodgings" has no historical proof to back it up, expert historians have told The Christian Post.
After first lady Michelle Obama asserted during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday that she wakes up every morning in a "house that was built by slaves," O'Reilly explained on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Tuesday that Obama was right to say slaves worked on the construction of the White House along with immigrants, whites and free blacks.
O'Reilly, however, went on to add that slaves who helped build the White House while America's second President John Adams resided in what was then known as executive mansion were "well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government." more >>
Both killers involved in the brutal murder of French Priest Jacques Hamel and the kidnapping of five people during a raid on morning mass at a Catholic church in Normandy, France, have been identified.
Days after 19-year-old Adel Kermiche from Northern France was identified as one of the two men who raided the Church of the Gambetta in the Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray district of Normandy on Tuesday, the second assailant has also been identified as 19-year-old Abdel-Malik Nabil Petitjean from Eastern France. The two men stabbed Hamel in the chest, slit his throat and wounded others held hostage inside the church.
According to The Associated Press, French prosecutors used DNA tests to identify Petitjean. Additionally, a security official confirmed that Petitjean was the unidentified man featured in a photo distributed to police with a warning that he might be plotting an attack. more >>
North Korea has not only accused the U.S. government of declaring war following the latest round of economic sanctions against Kim Jong Un, but the regime has also banned all imports of goods that resemble a Christian cross, such as women's hairpins and men's neckties.
Han Song Ryol, director-general of the U.S. affairs department at the North's Foreign Ministry, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the American government has "crossed the red line" by directly sanctioning Kim.
"The Obama administration went so far to have the impudence to challenge the supreme dignity of the DPRK in order to get rid of its unfavorable position during the political and military showdown with the DPRK," Han said, arguing that putting Kim on the sanctioned list has created the conditions for war. more >>
The Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans has called on the Nigerian government to end the growing slaughter of Christians at the hands of radical Islamists in the country, arguing that such a massacre should not be the Christians' "portion in Jesus' name."
"Whatever the federal government is doing, if any, is either too slow or insignificant compared with the reoccurrence of the killings; the federal government needs to step up and take bold actions to give members of the Christian community in the country a sense of security and belonging," said Pastor Ade Oyesile, executive director of CANAN, in a statement.
"We MUST all work hard to avoid these sectarian killings which in our very eyes have made countries embroiled in it to become failed nations. That should not be our portion in Jesus Christ name." more >>
The Iranian regime has charged evangelical house church Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani with committing national security crimes and has given him just one week to raise $33,000 for bail or face re-arrest and imprisonment.
According to a press release from the Christian persecution watchdog group Christian Solidarity Worldwide shared with The Christian Post, Nadarkhani, who was sentenced to death in 2012 on charges of apostasy, was summoned to appear before the Islamic Revolutionary Court in the town of Rasht on July 24 and was charged with "acting against national security."
The charges stem from a raid conducted on Nadarkhani's home by security forces in May, which was a part of an intelligence crackdown on the Christian community in Rasht. more >>

SES San Francisco is next week, taking place September 10-13. The comprehensive agenda of this conference will walk you through the new marketing landscape of converged media will be led by industry practitioners and innovators. The program is designed to help marketing professionals meet their needs regardless of their experience level.
Prior to the conference I was lucky enough to interview various experts, including Bill Hunt and Bryan Eisenberg. Another expert that I had the pleasure of interviewing was Andrew Edwards, who is the managing partner at Efectyv Marketing. He will be speaking at SES San Francisco on Multi-Channel Analytics: How Convergence Analytics Changes Digital Marketing Forever.
Victoria Edwards: What is convergence analytics?
Andrew Edwards: Convergence analytics is an emerging field that takes up where web analytics, mobile analytics, and any other siloed data analytics leave off. Some have also called it Multi-Channel Analytics, but this does not describe the single-view outputs that are common today.
There are at least a hundred vendors today who offer applications that can measure many different channels and display them in an elegant fashion. We believe the trend towards converging many data inputs and creating a flexible output model is accelerating – and changing business analytics forever.
VE: Who should attend your session on multi-channel analytics?
AE: Anyone who wants to know the latest on emerging digital analytics trends, technologies and challenges.
VE: What tools does an individual use for multi-channel analytics?
AE: There are so many choices in so many measurement fields that it's a challenge to even begin listing them without leaving out key players. If we can suggest a common denominator like Google Analytics and apply that across many channels with many different ways to collect and review data, that might come close to a broad description.
VE: If someone is new to convergence analytics where is a good place to start gaining more insight?
AE: Certainly our session would be a great place to start. But they can also go to the Convergence Analytics section at ClickZ to see more content about it.
VE: You're currently the CEO at Technology Leaders. What was your career-path that lead you into that role?
AE: I founded Technology Leaders in 2002 and continue to run the enterprise digital analytics practice there. My most recent focus is on digital analytics strategy, including the writing of the next Convergence Analytics Report with Efectyv Digital.
I got started in digital as a computer-illustrator, and I got to know the creative side during the late 1980s with the advent of desktop publishing. I created the first DTP group at the Yellow Pages. Then I moved on to interactive television that led to CD-ROMs and finally website development.
As the Internet became more of a commercial venture, I got interested in how to measure its effectiveness in the marketplace. That's how I got involved with analytics. I have a book coming out in the spring with Pearson Publications called "Digital is Destroying Everything, and What Comes Next".
VE: I see you're also a painter? What's your favorite medium and are there any places online we can see your work?
AE: Yes, I do love creating actual things in the world sometimes – so I paint with acrylics on canvas. They tend to be surreal-mythical in nature with a focus on mid-20th century iconography. You can see them here.
