Many of our older posts include example JavaScript snippets, but usually (since they are “older” posts, after all) they don’t include the Asynchronous version. We’ve been asked to update one of these posts, so we have.
The post “Pittfalls of Tracking to Multiple Accounts in GA” has been updated to have some Async examples.

Taking this break from your regularly programmed schedule to introduce the Fish, LunaMetrics’ newest employee. The Fish, who is paid in food and taps on the glass of his aquarium, is our office morale booster.
I can personally speak to his efficacy. Ever since he took his place upon my desk my morale has been boosted by at least 15%. Not that it was ever that low to begin with. Productivity on the other hand…
(tap tap…hello Fish)
Anyway! Due to my complete inability to find suitable names for things such as blog posts, children and, yes, fish, I’m relinquishing the dubious pleasure of naming our office fish to you, our loyal readers. And in true web marketing fashion, I’m having our fish-naming process take the form of a contest.
In order to win the privilege of naming this beautiful betta, you must
1. Like our Facebook page
2. Type the proposed name on the Wall
3. Sit back and fidget with the suspense of waiting to see if your name gets chosen.
Is this a shameless plug for our new awesome Facebook page? Maybe.
Will it be worthwhile to participate anyway? Definitely.
See, by liking our Facebook page, you’ll become privy to Fan-only tips and tricks and videos that will be posted on that newly-renovated icon of Facebook awesomeness designed and implemented by our own Jim Gianoglio. So even if we don’t use your fish name, you still win.
Thanks for helping me name him! He thanks you too!
Did you know you can make a coupon for your business through your Google Local Business Center? Not many people are aware of that, because the coupons have been nearly invisible to searchers since they were introduced back in August of 2006. Until now.
I present to you, Exhibit A:
I found this coupon in the wild while doing a search for “wedding photography Pittsburgh“. If you scroll over the coupon, it expands to show you more detail:
This little addition could have tremendous impact for local businesses. Just look how much the listing with the coupon stands out; the bright yellow definitely catches your eye. Of course, it’s only a matter of time until everyone jumps on this bandwagon, so it remains to be seen how Google will show the coupons when every listing has them. I can’t imagine them showing the same yellow coupon next to each listing – that would be cluttered and hard on the eyes.
Here are a couple more searches that I found interesting:
This is a search for “hotels Pittsburgh“. Notice how the listing in the top right stands out? It’s ranking at the #9 position (letter I), and it would be interesting to know if it would rank at all on the first page without the coupon.
Hey Pittsburgh attorneys, how would you like to get a few more phone calls from your Google Maps listing?:
That’s right, not a single coupon… yet.
Here’s another one, this Pittsburgh plumber has the idea:
All those dots, and he’s the only one with a bright yellow coupon.
And finally, a bit of a surprise. Usually locksmiths are all over this kind of thing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case (at least not in Pittsburgh – I’m busy right now doing a much more thorough search of cities and categories).
How long do you think it will take until more businesses start utilizing these coupons?
