With the Google Analytics URL Builder, you can easily tag URLs with custom campaign variables. That way, you can track which of your promotions are generating the most traffic/conversions. For example, consider setting up a unique URL for each status update or wall post you use when promoting a link on Facebook.
There are 5 campaign parameters to consider when tagging URLs :
utm_source (required) > to identify a search engine, newsletter name, or other source. Ex. google, yahoo, newsletterâŚ
utm_medium (required) > to identify a medium such as email or cost-per-click. Ex. pcp, banner, email, pdf, cpcâŚ
utm_campaign (recommended) > to identify specific product sale or strategic campaign. Ex. spring_sale, summer_men, xmas_discountâŚ
utm_term (optional) > to note the keywords for this ad. Ex. summer+dressâŚ
utm_content (optional) > to differentiate ads or links that point to the same URL. Ex. logolink, titlelinkâŚ

I'm sticking with Meteor. Here's why.
I am a 40-something man married to the love of my life, and the father to three amazing children. I have spent 13 years as a web coder, earning a living by writing web apps, mostly with PHP and MySQL. I've recently had some life experiences that convinced me to up my skill level and take on a few new challenges.Â
Over the last 18 months or so I have looked at various languages and frameworks. At one time or another I have decided to teach myself Ruby and then Rails, Python, Java, and numerous others. Nothing really clicked with me or set off the spark of excitement I was hoping feel. A poor way to evaluate a programming language, but if I wanted 'boring' I'd just stick with what I am comfortable with.Â
Then one day about a year ago (has it been that long?) I came across this blog post about a book called 'Discover Meteor' by Tom Coleman and Sacha Greif. I was intrigued by this new, reactive way to develop web apps. I read some more of the posts on the blog, played with Meteor a bit (it was at version 0.6.3 I think) and went back to my day job.
Maybe it was the timing, maybe I was having a bad week - who knows - but I didn't get overly excited about Meteor at the time. That all changed in December when I happened across the Meteor blog again and read a post titled 'Why web beginners should start with Meteor' by Alice Yu. The post got me excited to try Meteor again - and I got hooked. And have stayed hooked since. While I haven't had as much time to devote to Meteor as I'd like - I've certainly put in some hours. I've also stopped looking at other frameworks and languages - Meteor is it!
Here are the things that have convinced me that I am making the right decision to go with Meteor:
The community. I know all languages boast about their communities and how accepting and helpful they are, but the Meteor community has blown me away. I've had helpful email conversations with members of the Meteor team, Sacha Greif, and several other "leaders" in the young Meteor community, as well as people just learning to code for the first time. They have all been amazing. I was so impressed that I worked with Meteor's Jade Q Wang to start the official Meteor Boise meetup.
Discover Meteor. The best project based programming book I have ever read. Constantly updated and edited, the code works flawlessly and the writing is clear and concise. Â It's the best $39 you'll spend on a programming book ever. I bought the $159 "White Dwarf" package and have enjoyed all the extras.
Meteor itself. It might seem odd to you that "Meteor" is third in the list of reasons why I am sticking with Meteor! Well, let me tell you something - there are a LOT of great frameworks out there and a lot of them do the same thing in different ways. Meteor IS unique and all that, but you could substitute dozens of names for 'Meteor' in the following sentence: "Meteor is an open-source, full-stack JavaScript framework that makes it easy to write top-quality web apps in a fraction of the time." See?
Still, there are a few things about Meteor that set it apart. In no particular order - it's built on top of Node, reactive programming, automatic includes, minification and concatenation in production, Meteor DEPLOY, smart packages, spiderable, live HTML templates, a great package manager, great documentation... I could go on for days.
So there you have it. I am turning myself into a Meteor.js developer and I am not looking back! I invite you to join me on my journey into the future!

There are many ways to start an internet startup and I have seen different ones in practice and unfortunately I tried the worst myself and wasted a lot of time. It was my first startup attempt and I really did not have a clue what I was doing. Additionally we got nearly no advice even though we have been in a so called incubator. The approach we used back then was the 'Hack all day long' approach, added with a flavor of 'never ask if someone would use our stuff'. I can tell you: This approach is bad, really bad! There are mainly two reasons why it is so bad.
