SiteTimer About SiteTimer Web Monitor allows you to monitor how long it takes for a user to download one or more of your web site pages. It visits the page that your request and downloads all content that's directly linked from that page; Images Frames IFrames Script files It follows redirects As the pages are downloaded, SiteTimer stores statistics on how long time each item takes to download, and how much data they contained. This information is then presented in a grid. Web Monitor correctly handles http compressed material (see OctaGate Switch), and it also honors keep-alive requests to give an accurate indication of the times a real browser would spend downloading the content. Optimizing your site Your page shouldn't take too long to load, slow load speeds will lead to users leaving your pages even though they're interested in the material. The size of the page is the main deciding factor for download times, coupled with bandwidth. Decrease the size of your images: Use JPG instead of GIF or BMP.

Vaivaton.com - Verkkokauppakeskus MediaDesk Google Lively In July we launched Lively in Google Labs because we wanted users to be able to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways.

Or is it? Is the much smaller Facebook, run by a 22-year-old, really worth the $900 million or more Yahoo is reported to have offered for it? “What makes this hard is that these companies seem to be so many years away from the kind of earnings that the valuation numbers are forecasting for them,” says Andrew Metrick, finance professor at Wharton. While the social networking sites vary considerably, each relies heavily on content provided by users who can post personal profiles and build networks among friends and others with shared interests. The problem, as Wharton accounting professor Robert W. Valuing advertising-driven sites is particularly hard because the same numbers — such as the number of users or page views — can mean different things depending on how the advertisers are billed, Holthausen adds.
