The blog isn't targeted at you and me. Sure, they have lots of things they can blog about like matching and goals, but they're only 3 posts in! Hi Robbin,

If they are going to blog, at least they should blog about something that isn't so basic that it's in their "Read Me" (the page that clicking on Help takes one too. And which is actually very helpful.) Why don't they do a post on match type -- when you choose a goal, you have to choose "head match" vs. "Exact Match" and while I can assume what they mean, I really am not 100% sure. Why don't they do a post on how goals are calculated on the overlay - it is someone who touched the link in question and the goal in question at any time (assuming you don't wipe your cookies) and in any order (you can accomplish a goal, come back a month later with cookies intact, and every link you touch gets that goal incremented? or does it have to be the other way around?) I could go on and on. Hey, congrats on your #1 web analytics blog ranking. Robbin Oh come on, Pat, it’s a lousy post (Google’s).
