Analytics SEO Version 4.4 is finally here and has just been released!
Version 4.4 has been another feature rich update of the back of our recent 4.2 and 4.3 updates, which in case you missed out the full details are here.

A quick overview of the updates are as follows:
  • Editable Panels
  • Competitive Rankings
  • Affiliate Scheme
  • Enhanced Credit Card Handling
  • Video Training Content

Editable Panels

This has been one of my favourite new features for a while, the edit panels functionality previously only available on the Dashboard has now been rolled out across all tabs.

Competitive Rankings
This has been one of the most requested features I can recall since working for Analytics SEO and its finally here! Competitive Rankings now allow you to benchmark your rankings against your competitors. This is highly recommended for pre-sales reports and pitching.

You will be able to visualise competitive rankings by keyword and shortly we will also make scoring available to benchmark performance across all monitored keywords.

Affiliate Scheme
Analytics SEO is also in the early stages of launching an affiliate scheme. This release sees the development work that is required to make this possible. We will be offering the best available commission rates in the market, so if you own a blog or want to recommend Analytics SEO to anyone now you can get paid!


Blogspot.com is redirecting to Blogspot.in

Now onwards Blogger blogs will redirect to country level TLD extension. Usually I read Google webmaster central blog, Google blog, Gmail blog etc to know about latest updates from Google. Today i.e. Jan 31st 2012, I observed that "Blogspot.com is automatically redirecting to Blogspot.in". As I live in india, it's redirecting to ".in". It might redirect to .co.uk, if I live in UK.

What exactly this redirection is?

Blogger.com has implemented TLD specific redirection for the blogs hosted on blogger.com network. Currently, this change has been applied to India, so that the person access blog from Indian IP will be redirect to Indian TLD of that blog.

Here question is that why need changes :----

1. Duplicate content issue is the 1st thing we notice in this case. However Google is stating that "rel=canonical" tag will be used across all country level extensions and their team is trying to make less negative impact on search results.
