Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Web development and internet marketing firm AIMG is offering 100 small businesses an opportunity to work one-on-one with a web consultant to learn how to interpret their companys website traffic. This $99 special program, which is available only through August 31st, 2012, includes professional implementation of Google Analytics, coding of quantifiable site goals, and a one-hour web analytics consultation with an AIMG web specialist after 30 days of aggregating results.

Our work with small businesses in virtually every industry since 1994 has allowed us to understand and address their specific needs and challenges in an online environment, said Joe DeMicco, CEO & Founder of AIMG. Many small business owners simply dont know how to properly install or interpret website analytics. Even if they already have analytics installed, they dont know how to establish goals or track things like seasonal behavior or customer trends. They simply have never been shown how to turn statistical website information into actionable insight. We know how this valuable information can be used to improve a wide variety of online results like generating leads, expanding brand reach, getting more customers into their bricks-and-mortar establishment, or increasing online sales or requests for quote, for example. The key is to know what to track, how to interpret it, and then to use the information to implement changes or initiatives that will support your online goals. The proper use of analytics can not only improve online conversion but also save business owners money when the information is used to plan spending properly and avoid wasting investments on the wrong initiatives. Were confident every small business owner we work with will be pleased with the knowledge our program offers. They will begin to understand how to use the information to develop efficiencies and to capture previously missed opportunities.

Twitter snuffs an Olympics critic: smart play or censorship?

The media is fuming over Twitters decision to suspend the account of a British journalist who used the micro-blogging site to toss barbs at NBCs decision to time-delay its Olympic coverage over the weekend. The episode raises questions about free speech and corporate control of social media platforms. (Updated, Tuesday 9:30am)

For anyone who missed it, the brouhaha began this morning when sports site Deadspin reported that Twitter had cut off Guy Adams, an LA-based reporter for The Independent.Adams has been a standard bearer for the new #nbcfail hashtag and used his account to rattle off a series of British-inflected tirades about NBCs time delay: Sneak peak my arse;tosspot; Matt Lauer would do well to shut up, wouldnt he? and so on.

Adams apparently crossed a line when he published the email address of NBC executive Gary Zenkel and told followers to Tell him what u think. NBC complained to Twitter and shortly after the micro-blog site suspended Adams account.

Critics have since called attention to the fact that Twitter has partnered with NBCs parent company to promote the games, and suggested that the companies decided to shut down Adams account as an act of reprisal.

In an email message to Adams, Twitter explained the account had been suspended because he had violated terms of service that forbid disclosing private information like a persons telephone number or private email address. Deadspin and others have noted that gary.zenkel@nbcuni.com is a corporate address.

So who is right? Did Adams overstep a boundary or are Twitter and NBC wrongfully censoring a journalist? Well, from a legal point of view, Twitter is in the clear. The companys terms of service make it plain that it can boot users off the site anytime and for any reason.

Twitters moral position is a lot more shaky. Its reason for tossing Adams is flimsy (the email he printed was not private) and, worse, they simply caused him to disappear altogether. If you search @guyadams on Twitter, the company will suggest users with similar handles but the original Guy Adams has simply vanished in the same way that disgraced communists would vanish from Kremlin photographs.

This policy of disappearing people without a trace is unhealthy and something Twitter should reconsider. The site has bravely opposed police gag orders and published a groundbreaking transparency report to highlight government censorship.

In the future, Twitter should show who it is barring from the site and explain why. In the meantime, it should give Guy Adams his account back.

Update: The Telegraph reported Tuesday that NBC claims that it was Twitter who informed their social media department about Adams tweets and informed them how to file a complaint. Meanwhile, respected social media journalist Danny Sullivan has pointed out that Gary Zenkels email address was not widely available. Other are questioning the appropriateness of using Twitter to initiate email bombing. As of Tuesday morning, Twitter has remained silent in the face of what appears to be its biggest PR crisis to date.

The 10 (Surprising) Companies That Make More Money Online Than Facebook

The social networking company may dominate the headlines, but not the top line.

Facebook has more users than any service in the world, as they slowly close in on a billion. But when it comes to revenue, many old and new companies are generating more revenue in the digital world than Facebook.

PaidContent assembled a list of the companies generating the most revenue "from digital content, or from the advertising around that content." They released it today and, surprisingly, Facebook is currently sitting at number 11.

Who are the 10 companies ahead of Zuckerberg's empire? Google is the clear leader, but you'll also find old rivals Yahoo, Apple, and Microsoft. The business information players are also strong: Bloomberg, Reed Elsevier (an investor in PaidContent, BTW), and Thompson Reuters. And last but not least, as in all things, don't forget China! Telco China Mobile and general tech player Tencent both make appearances on the top 10.

There is some good news for Facebook, though: they're the only social networking site on the list. You won't find a Tumblr, Twitter, or Pinterest in the top 50 global digital revenue generators.

Not every company makes these numbers easy to access, so in some cases, PaidContent has made educated guesses based on research. They (impressively) explain their methodology for each individual company on the list.
