What analytics do you use to measure your site? I think that most people prefer Google Analytics, but there are lots of other options. Some of my favorite free tools include: Deep Log Analysis, AWStats, and PiWik. And the main advantage to them is that they all provide a lot of different things to measure. What do you measure on your site?

I got an email from WebAssist yesterday saying:

To better serve your needs and expand the depth of our offerings, WebAssist will be focusing efforts on the PHP platform exclusively and will cease to support classic ASP and ColdFusion.

This is especially surprising, as WebAssist started as an ASP company, and only added PHP and ColdFusion support on later. But now, it seems that, at least in their opinion, PHP has beaten ASP. (ColdFusion has been something of a non-starter for years now...) In the articles I have seen the most telling reason people have switched to PHP is the price - PHP is free and open source, ASP is not. Do you use ASP on your Web pages any more? Or have you switched to a different server-side scripting language?

I've been working with and in content management systems for years now, and I can tell you with 100% assurance that having a CMS on your website will not penalize your search engine placement. That said, this article I found today, Can SEO and CMS Go Together?, makes some good points about why CMS and SEO seem to be working at odds with each other. The one thing that many CMS's do is create dynamic URLs that are hard to read - and most search engines don't like those. But the biggest problem with CMS tools is not the tool itself, but the people using it. If you're running a website with 3 Web designer/developers and 97 content owners in the CMS, chances are you have 3 people who understand SEO and work hard to create pages that are optimized and 97 people who are just trying to get their content up on the site as quickly as possible. If you don't train your content developers how to write SEO friendly content, how to add meta data, and how to create strong sub-titles your CMS will generate pages that are not well optimized. But that's not the CMS's fault.

Dreamweaver is one of the most popular HTML editors available and there are many things you can do with it. For instance, it's both a WYSIWYG editor and a text editor, it can create a photo gallery for you automatically, you can create mailto forms quickly and easily, manage your sites, create snippets for code you use all the time, and so much more!
