Steps to Setup Google Analytics Intelligence Alerts?

Google does a lot of things right and Google Analytics that help monitor your website traffic is definitely one among them.

Google Analytics is a free and powerful website statistics gathering application. If you run a website(s), you are probably using Google Analytics to measure your site traffic.

Google Analytics just added a cool new beta feature – Analytics Intelligence.

Analytics Intelligence constantly monitors your website traffic for you and it automatically creates alerts for in intelligence reports if something significant happens with the website traffic.

Analytics Intelligence is powered by a sophisticated algorithmic intelligence engine that detects any anomalies in traffic patterns. It’s supposedly smart enough to spot a part of a larger trend that could be hard to detect.

You can see this action under the Intelligence (beta) tab in the left hand side. You might have noticed it already as it just came into my account in the past week but I just got a chance to investigate it.

You can set up your own custom alerts for changes that you want to detect. Like changes in pageviews, visitors, bounce rates, new visitors, etc by day, week or month.

You can also copy existing templates to quickly create your own custom templates. If you have setup goals to track your landing page conversions, you can also setup alerts to get notified of sudden changes in goal conversions.

You could opt to receive alerts via email or you can just login to your Google Analytics account.

Google Analytics has been a reliable source of my website stats and it’s great to see improvements being made to this already valuable free resource.

You can also change the alert sensitivity via a slider if it gets too annoying to see too many alerts or increase it if you like seeing them.

How to mount ISO files with DAEMON Tools

In this article you will learn how to mount disk images like ISO files with DAEMON Tools. A lot of stuff you can download from the Internet nowadays comes in a disc image format like ISO or similar. Basically, it’s a single file that contains the complete image of a disc. Most people know that you can burn these disc images on a CD or DVD, but there is also the possibility to mount these files in a virtual drive on your computer without wasting a blank CD.


How DAEMON Tools works

DAEMON Tools basically creates one or more virtual drives and enables you to open and use your disc image in it. It’s just like putting a CD/DVD in your optical drive, same functionality.

There is a free version of DAEMON Tools that is more than enough for the average user, download the latest version. Be sure to uncheck the toolbar option during the installation, that’s just an unnecessary advertising plugin for your browser.

DAEMON Tools supports the following image file formats: cue/bin, iso, ccd (CloneCD), bwt (Blindwrite), mds (Media Descriptor File), cdi (Discjuggler), nrg (Nero), pdi (Instant CD/DVD) and b5t (BlindWrite 5).

Of course, this is Windows software, Macs and Linux operating systems have the mount feature built-in, no extra software needed.

How to mount ISO files

After installation, you need an image of a CD/DVD. To demonstrate the functionality I will use an Ubuntu CD image with comes as an ISO file.

First, you should see a new icon in in the system tray, right-click it.

To mount our ISO file, click “Virtual CD/DVD-ROM”, then on the first menu point, in my case “Device 0: [ E: ] No Media”. That’s how your virtual drive is called where the image will be mounted. Finally, click on “Mount image” to select the file.

Awesome, it works! Now you can do stuff with this drive just like with any normal optical drive.

To unmount the image, simply go back to the menu again and click on “Unmount image”.

That’s it, very easy procedure. All in all, DAEMON Tools is a light weight and easy to use program that I recommend from personal experience at home and work. Go, get it!
