A long time ago I wrote a post on the shadowy industry of selling fake followers on Twitter. At the time it was possible to buy thousands or even millions of Twitter followers, guaranteed within a few days following payment. I used a company called Devumi to test this process using a dummy Twitter account @not_zodiacmedia. There were many companies offering the same sort of service, but Devumi had the slickest looking site and were marginally cheaper than the competition so they won my...

Google Optimize is a new tool that allows you to easily build A/B and Multivariate tests with an inbuilt page editor. It uses Analytics to gather data and show results on specific goals like bounce rates, session views and more.
