With Avinash, alot of his content for the book is also on his blog so that is why its important to follow his blog because lots of other practitioners provide valuable comments and insights.

Good question - I strongly advise you to get just 3/4 books -
1. Web Analytics - Jim Sterne
2. KPIs and any other book by Eric Peterson
3. Web Analytics one hour a day by Avinash

Also go to blogs like webmetricsguru.com and if you are in NYC, join groups like NY Data Stories meetup.

Isn't promoting your own site within your own site considered an inbound link?

Thanks Canada Fred for confirming my suspicions.

I personally was in a similar dilema some time ago. I concluded that:
1. For some reason, you hardly find any .me or .us domains/sites on SERPs
2. search engine crawlers may not crawl as often on .me or .us sites (can someone please confirm this for me).
3. you really have to plug your site as .me. If you are relying just on SERP, I would re-consider unless you have a SEM campaign in place.

I think only the starter of the thread is the only one with the power to solve it.

Just be aware that if the moderators think its self-plugging, your post will be flagged.

InsightsDigital 57 Posting Virtuoso

As long as its not self plugging, give it a try. If one of the moderators delete your post, then we both will find out.

This is great. Thanks for all the links.

I have tried the following tactics and it still seems spam gets through:
1. individually going through every email and unsubscribe - very time consuming
2. just deleting the email without reading it
3. in some cases - just labeling it as spam
