We survived our trip to Atlanta for LessConf and the sponsorship of said event (we weren’t the only ones, but sounds big of us). More on our time at LessConf soon.
Here’s the highlights of the release:
- 15 bug fixes
- 11 new features/improvements
- 26 total JIRA tickets closed
- 12 days since we last released (April 29)
- 4 happy faces because Amazon worked like a champ!
Not as many new features this time around as our last release, BUT if you are an AWeber customer, then you’ll love this release.
1. AWeber event stats – Now when you send out a broadcast to your AWeber list we will place a slick looking event on your chart that also includes how many subscribers the email was sent to, how many times the email was opened, and how many clicks the links got. Combine these email stats with your PayPal data or Google Analytics traffic and you’ll begin to see how your email marketing is (or isn’t) influencing your success.

2. AWeber full list history – In our previous releases we only tracked AWeber lists from the moment you signed up. With a little rework and some gymnastics with AWeber’s API we now offer you a full history of your list. This is incredibly powerful as you can go back in time and view where you got your biggest surges in signups for your list.

One way to learn about who helps you add new email subscribers:
1. Go to the Google Analytics settings in DigMyData
2. Turn on “Show linking sites” (and adjust the filter to your preference)
3. Return to the chart and zoom out to year view
4. Locate time period where your subscribers jump significantly and zoom in on that period
5. Click through some of the sites that referrer you some traffic to better understand who might have sent you traffic that resulted in those signups.
Other new features or improvements:
- Google Analytics settings: Indicate whether goals are active or inactive
- Google Analytics settings: Show reconnect button when authorization token becomes invalid
- Gmail settings: Changed update message to indicate which Gmail label was updated
- Fixed some layout issues found in IE9
- Removed the GetSatisfaction button from the chart. Questions about the application itself too often require disclosing private information and we don’t want that showing up on a public site like GetSatisfaction. Plus it was in the way.
- Improved the signup page for those of you with invites
- Lots of production bugs, mainly dealing with an increased load after LessConf
Upcoming release(s):
- Our next release is a little lighter as we’re running a bit lean for a few weeks on development; we’ll be back to full speed soon.
- We’re looking at adding a daily/weekly email report, predictions (more on that over here), WordPress stats (visitor #s and comments), and AdWords. If you feel strongly on the priority one way or another, let us know!
- MailChimp. We keep hearing from you about adding MailChimp. Should that be higher up the list?
