Instead, a small, randomly selected subset is used to keep things manageable. Many analytics platforms use some sort of sampling to keep report loading times in check, and there seem to be three schools of thought when it comes to sampling in analytics.

Posted by Isla_McKettaFeel like you're already over the term "storytelling" without ever really having understood how you can successfully apply it to your writing? You aren't alone.

Even storytelling guru Annette Simmons is over the way we're teaching storytelling as a content cure-all. "We need to stop 'telling stories' that oxytocin or the magic of a 'narrative a... →

Posted by Jeremy_GottliebWorking in SEO, I always find myself poring over data and looking for ways to expedite the analysis process. Analyzing data can often be tedious, mind-numbing, and boring work, so anything that can be done to speed up finding that needle in the haystack is almost always a good idea. A few months ago, I began using a formula in Excel to categorize data and I'm constantly finding new ways to use it.It took a little bit of time and practice to remember the formula, to understand how it... →

Posted by nikkielizabethdemereAny old picture might be worth a thousand words. But your target niche doesn’t need or want a thousand words. Your ideal audience needs the right words, paired with the right images, to tell a story that uniquely appeals to their deepest desires.Studies show that people understand images faster than words, remember them longer, and if there’s a discrepancy between what we see and what we hear, our brains will choose to believe what they see. Our brains prioritize visual informa... →

Posted by stuartkhallBack in 2013, I co-founded a music discovery mobile app that grew to more than 4 million downloads. Many of the things we tried to grow the app were successful, but some were a complete disaster. I wanted to see if I could repeat the success of the music discovery app with a new app. Would the techniques I learned still apply? First, though, I needed an idea for the new app. 7 Minute Workout was buzzing around Hacker News and The New York Times. The simple idea was connecting with peop... →

Posted by EricaMcGillivray[Estimated read time: 6 minutes] That's right! Please join us in congratulating the four community speakers for MozCon 2016 — September 12–14 in Seattle. This year, we received 140 submissions. And while the overall number of submissions were down, the quality of submissions has gone up. Typically, we've been able to eliminate ~100 submissions for not meeting the minimum bar, but this year, it was more like ~20. Which only means competition for these four slots was harder than ever... →

Posted by Dr-Pete[Estimated read time: 6 minutes] It's been almost two years (August 2014) since Google announced that HTTPS was a ranking signal. Speculation ran rampant, as usual, with some suggesting there was little or no benefit to switching (and possibly significant risk) while others rushed to sell customers on making the HTTPS switch. Two years later, I believe the data speaks for itself — Google is fighting, and winning, a long war. What's happened since?If you only consider the impact of Google's ... →
