How to Use Google Analytics Content Groupings: Part 1
Google has been providing more control to create reports that were previously only buildable manipulating in other tools like Excel. They’ve also have the added benefit of being actually readable by non-analysts. Late last fall we got Channel Groupings, and more recently Content Groupings.

Should we move to an all HTTPS web?
There was a bit of tweeting in the SEO community today because Bing introduced an HTTPS version of their site and people thought that would mean they’d lose their keyword data. That’s not true, if you take the right precautions. I thought I’d write a bit of an intro in how all this works so…
