If you are an adsense publisher, then you also may want to know, how your adsense earning is going on etc. There are a lot of sites(paid/free) for this kind of services. But, according to me, google analytics is the best tool ever than all others.

Google analytics has a lot of options and ways, you may want to see your report as like. You can add as many sites/blog to your single analytics account. you can link your current google account to sign up for analytics account.



This will give you individual reports for direct traffic, referring traffic, search engine traffic, most driven keywords, content overview, map overlay,visitors overview, site usage, etc. There are also reports on average time a visitor stays on your sites, individual page views, average pages per visit, bounce rate(that rate at which visitors leave your site without visiting other pages) etc.

Newly added feature is, if you are an adsense publisher, then you can also check your adsense statistics right from your analytics account.

All these upgraded & exclusive features, moreover free, you should must be attracted to make an account. to set up the account, first signup. Then on setting page, click add new profile. there you can add existing domain or a new domain. after that you will get a javascript code snippet. copy that code & paste on your sites template right before end of the <body> tag. You are done. Now on your analytics page's edit profile option, click 'check statistics' & you will be shown your current status. If the code is installed correctly, you will be able to see statistics in 1-2 days.

To work on a project, SVN is best recommended for sub version. But at the beginning to work with SVN, some may fall in trouble to understand the basic terms. For those, here are some basic description about them:

IMPORT: To add a new project to svn repository(database).

EXPORT: Retrieve the project from svn db without svn meta data files, that means the final versions of the project.

CHEKOUT: to get a latest updated working copy of source code of the project.

UPDATE: to get the latest update from the server to your working copy of files. This is important when working on same source file by many coders. missing of update can cause source conflicting...

COMMIT: to save your changes on server. You should have your source code version with latest version before making changes & commit to avoid source conflict.

To work with SVN, you requires a server that if you are working alone or another pc on network. SVN supports many ways(http,ftp,https,LAN)to work with. If you are a .NET developer, then you can also use visualSVN with SVN for more comfort, although its not free while SVN is free. Basic steps to work are as follows:

* Download & install SVN from here http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.
* Make a folder as Repository(that may also be called as a Database).
* add the required files to subversion using right mouse click options.
* use commit option to commit the files.
* Periodically update & commit of working files.

to work a single file among multiple coders, use 'get lock' option befor changing & commiting a change of yours. if you want to use a previous version, use 'update to revision', 'show log', 'revert changes' etc options that matches your requirements. You can also use tortorise CVS which is the very basic version of SVN.

If you are interested to know more details in deep & want to expertise it very fast, you can buy a book on this & read that through. here is one that I recommend most that you can buy from amazon:
