How long are people spending on your site? What's the difference? Join us today and let's explore and discover!

What matters most how many visitors you have or how many sales you make? Truly this depends on the purpose of your site but even if you're only blogging for ad dollars you still need conversions. At the end of the day whether it is a sale, a subscriber or just a reader conversions are crucial. We will not be addressing "Time On Site" (upcoming show) or "Bounce Rate" (another upcoming show) today but we will be presenting on and discussing Clicks That Count.

Who has influenced you? How do you influence others? Today we'll be talking about influence. Because of Clint Miller's influence on us and this show (he was a BIG encouragement to start the show and a BIG supporter of it the remainder of his life). Clint and his family lost his battle against testicular cancer on this day one year ago. That is sad but the story that goes with it is inspiring and influencing. We remember Mr. Crint!

Today we'll talk about a beta start-up that just may make this a bit easier. The promise is this will be a great way to share ideas with web developers (and mobile/software) we hope!
