Web analytics, web metrics, and how to use them to track and improve conversions

Found out about a post from Jeremiah - Some Conversations have shifted to Twitter where information that would have, in the past, gone on a blog, is going onto Twitter and generating traffic.

"....Twitter is one of the top referrers of traffic to my blog, over 2000 referrers from twitter to my blog in the last 30 days…there’s something happening there.

I’ve also noticed and increase of new users over the past 30 days, feel free to add me as a friend, I will add you back.

Twitter is becoming a major communication tool for me lately. There are more intimate conversations being held on this next-generation chat room, and it’s filled with early adopters and those who are trying to reach them."

And Jeremiah has 1982 people following him in Twitter - so if he puts a URL in his Twitter feed it could generate hundreds of referrals almost immediately - and that- infant, is what seems to have happened today -

"..Holy SIHT we're past 100 comments in just a few hours http://snurl.com/1v3ur. "

But, clearly, this only works if you have a "large" following.
