Google Analytics and Readers Feedback

I've tracked the *success* (in terms of traffic) of this blog with Google Analytics. It's a very cool and comprehensive tool to monitor traffic on your website. And, it's FREE! Google Analytics gives you an enormous amount of information about web surfers.

I've had like 60% increase of traffic lately and it appears that my most popular post is about 'coloring SEM images'! So, I'm guessing that people are in dire need of practical tools (or codes) more than anything else. :)

I also received a lot of feedback from readers: People have been emailing me and asking me to give more advice rather than commenting on papers. Also, some readers want more scripts or codes. Some people asked me to comment on certain specific topics. Well, it's all good and I will try as far as possible to accommodate certain requests, but please bear in mind I have limited time (like everybody else!).

A number of people have requested that I allow anonymous commenting, as opposed to registered users. Typically, this opens doors to spammers, but I'll give it a shot anyway as from today. If it looks like the site is being nuked, I'll disable it.
