Score one for the little guy…
Getting a software company off the ground isn’t always easy, and we are firm believers that you have to celebrate the little victories that come along the way. Today we found what we thought at first was a bug, but it turned out to be just the opposite. Filtrbox picked up an article two days before Google Alerts notified us of it’s existence. Nice to know we are doing something right over here…
In this screen shot, the blue box shows the date Filtrbox notitfed me of the new article, and the red box highlights the date Google Alerts sent it out. I have my GA account set up for “one a day”, but nonetheless I’d expect it to come out within the same 24 hour period. This simply highlights one of the problems with GA, it’s very inconsistent and you never know what you’ll get.
