Google Analytics Integration - email marketing - GetResponse: "If you want to use special tracking systems in your email messages, (i.e. to track an individual message as a campaign name in Google Analytics), you can generate your own links with your own unique parameters. But please remember that all "Add Google Analytics tracking" options in your GetResponse account have to be enabled. Here‚ how to customize your tracking system:

Open the Google Analytics URL Builder.
In a new window or tab in your web browser, open a message in your GetResponse account.
Generate links with tracking codes following the steps provided at URL Builder.
Replace the original URL link in your message with the custom-generated one.
You'll want to repeat this for each link in the message you're working on, as well as any follow- up messages you'd like to track using Web Analytics and likewise for every future broadcast message you send."

How to Research Websites for Sale on Flippa with Market Samurai | Flippa Blog | Buy & Sell Websites: "If the site you’re investigating isn’t in the top 10 results for the keyword you’re investigating, you can add it using the Add custom URLs button at the bottom. This way you can compare a URL outside the top 10 results... The initial research I’ve done with Market Samurai has convinced me that it’s worthwhile digging a little deeper with my due diligence on this site. The next step would be to perform some of my other website buying due diligence tasks and decide what I’m willing to pay for this site before entering into the auction."

The secret to picking up aged domains cheaply is to hold off any bidding till the last minute. The $10 sites I pick up, more often then not are auctions that have slipped through the cracks and I was the only bidder and at the eleventh hour, or due the fact that I live in Australia and most registrars are in the states, it’s more like 4:00 am! To get the best price, you really do need to hold of bidding for as long as possible and avoid any bidding wars"

Top 10 Paid WordPress Frameworks for Designers | Most Inspired: Design Inspiration Blog: "ThemeFrame is a drag’n'drop interface that requires no coding to create WordPress themes. The snapshot above is of the Atahualpa theme, which is part of the WordPress.org Free Themes Directory. Flynn, the creator of the theme, claims (at least in 2009) that it’s “the most popular and best rated of all WordPress themes, free or premium…” (Ratings and download confirmation can be found at WordPress.org.) Atahualpa is an example of what you can create with ThemeFrame. The software is in Beta 7, and the (donation) price keeps going up with new releases, with the 1.0 release expected to be “$1xx,” which could mean anything."
