Facebook Advertising, Integrating GA data and more – The Monday May 9th Roundup

A new Monday, a new roundup. This week has been somewhat less exciting than the last and I am going to credit that with the wealth of posts that were about today. We have all sorts of great information on subjects randing from building mobile web apps to Facebook advertising, to Googles Panda update, to integrating GA data to… well, there’s just too much. You’re going to have to read more.

Create

We start the week with Six revisions and their tips and techniques for building mobile web apps. The premise here is to build web apps with similar features to client side apps, using a combination of quick loading JavaScript and HTML/CSS. It goes over theory, coding, and even some device level specifics (such as hardware acceleration).
And for those more “cross platform” oriented, A List Apart has a guide to the various ways to hide webpage content. Simple, but good info.

Attract

E-nor has tips on how to advertise on Facebook. Facebook has a selection of new advertising tools including the send button, Facebook Deals, and more.
Panda getting you down? Linkbuilder has posted a twitter chat with Matt Cutts about how long it will take for Google to recognize your updates. Cutts’s answer? They need to re-run the algorithm to re-gen the data. Wonderful.

Analyze

Justin Cutroni has a high level overview of integrating GA data with your other company data to do various types of analysis. Pretty in-depth stuff for a “high level overview”%2

Kent Clark

Some have compared him to the Dalai Lama, others to Kublai Kahn. When he isn't teaching third world children how to purify water with nothing more than a plastic bottle and a garden hose, he is creating mad waves for surfers off the west coast with little more than a paddle. Some say there is a boat involved, others that he walks on water. Little is known about his background. he appeared from nowhere 15 years ago and claims heritage from a land with neither want not need. He makes little comment, stating only that it was a pretty cool place. Fire does not burn him, cold does not hurt him. Words could... but they don't. When he passes, pedals fall off branches. When he speaks, hair tugs at skin, pulling just slightly in his direction. He does not sleep but he does dream. He has muscled his way into the lives of the famous and whispered his way into their hearts. And in the wee hours he plays oboe softly, as if to sooth the night to sleep.
