My favorite statistics package for my sites just got even better. Honestly, I didn’t think it could, but it did. The team at pMetrics have added a Traffic Source module to the pMetrics dashboard which gives you a quick overview of what the source of your site traffic is including:

• Search traffic
• Direct/Bookmark traffic
• Link traffic
• Social Media traffic (oooh, this is particularly cool)
• Email traffic

Of course, this is in addition to the other information on the dashboard such as how many visitors, actions, time spent, bounce rate, the inbound links, top searches, and top content page information.

pMetrics offers a free version of their product, but the paid version is very affordable and worth every penny.  For more reasons why I love pMetrics, check out:

About a year ago I switched my email program from Outlook to Thunderbird and never looked back. I loved the way Thunderbird let me organize, tag, and prioritize my email. I loved that it never “hung” like Outlook and loved that it was FAST. But, all of a sudden it is giving me the biggest headache!

I can receive email from all of my accounts and can still sort, filter, tag and prioritize, but I can’t send anything out. Nothing. I  didn’t change anything – it just stopped working one day. I have checked and double checked my settings – but nothing has fixed it. Does anyone have any ideas?  I really don’t want to reload the program and risk losing anything.

Meanwhile, I am able to send and receive from those accounts using Mail2Web, but that is just a temporary workaround. My G-mail account is working fine, but I don’t really want to start accessing all of my email through it either. As much as I like its spam filtering, its organizational features are lacking.

So, I am open for ideas!! What are you using for your email management? Any thoughts as to why I suddenly can’t send out from Thunderbird?  Thanks in advance!
