  1. Beautiful tips Ann!! Its very tough to find such features and compile it into an interesting post, but I nowadays feel that Getclicky and Chrome are better than Ganalytics and Firefox, but after seeing this I may consider both of them again, only for the above features.

  5. Trying to dump Firefox at the moment though, finding Chrome much easier and there are more & more SEO tools becoming available. BUT got to admit combined with GreaseMonkey it makes an awesome tool.

    1. Hey Dennis, “unusual traffic” refers to some recent traffic spikes and/or drops. For example, if some URL suddenly starts sending you more traffic than ever.
