Twitter Analytics Is Public

Head over to analytics.twitter.com and sign in using your twitter username and password.

It’s basically developed for advertisers, so it’ll ask you some information. If you’re not an advertiser, then look up to navigation area and click on the analytics link.

With Twitter analytics you can look at the best performing tweets, number of retweets, no of people favored your tweets, responses to your tweets etc.. you can even download this data in CSV format.

API – Application Programming Interface
Twitter is reportedly going to stop with old API, and is going to introduce new set of API’s. Hope these analytics API’s will also be publicly released, so that developers could build wonderful applications.

Sliding Text Ads: Google Adsense

Today we spotted sliding text ads on one of our blogs.

Previously we had seen widget ads, twitter integrated ads on our blog, now sliding text ads.

It grabbed my attention because they’re text ads. Happy to see that Google is still trying it’s best to innovate with text ad formats.

Here is a video I shot for you people:



Hover over the individual ads to highlight it, once you pause over a ad link, that ad opens/expands.

Hope this increases CTR 🙂

Withdrawing From FullScreen.net Partnership

There are many form posts and videos talking about shifting monetization of their YouTube videos to FullScreen.net

My advice
If you’re already a YouTube partner, you could better stick with YouTube partnership for monetizing your videos.
