SEO: Focus on the only metric that matters
Forbes
A potential client recently expressed concern that the stats for my SEO firm's website were trending lower on SEMrush, an online tool that provides insightful data related to search engine optimization. This seems like an opportune time to write about a topic I've been researching ever since I started doing SEO 10 years ago — which metrics matter and why. Below I examine several key metrics used in SEO and give guidelines for how to interpret and benefit from them.
CRTC looking at how social media, text messaging can be used to contact 911
CTV News
Canada's patchwork system of 911 services needs to fix the problems it currently has — such as accurately locating cellphone callers — before new ways such as text messaging or social media can be used to call for help in an emergency, a CRTC report says.

Targeted analytics deliver better web security
CSO
There are over 650 million sites and some 4.2 billion pages on the web now and that number is continually growing. The proliferation of websites has created a massive threat surface that is constantly changing.
Jeremiah Grossman, the Chief Technology Officer for WhiteHat Security, is in the business of helping companies secure their websites.
"The way we do that is that we simulate the bad guys. We try to break into the systems. But that only gets you so far. When you want to start improving things you need analytics," he explained.
