Don’t you want to know which words, and which images, your visitors aren't seeing? It could be your strongest feature. Or, your best testimonial. It could even be your “order now” button. Yikes! Perhaps your visitors saw a word or image, then decided to leave. Don’t you want to know what caused this?

Yahoo! Panama Podcast

Want to know what industry insiders think of Yahoo!'s Panama?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, several key bloggers and search engine marketers got a sneak preview of Panama at Yahoo!'s office. Andrew Goodman, Barry Schwartz, Jennifer Slegg, Andy Beal, Greg Sterling, Mona Elesseily and I had a great time testing out the new tools and finding a few bugs.

After the meeting, Andrew organized a call so we could chat about the new platform -- what we liked and didn't like. Want to know what we said? Listen in to Yahoo Panama Launch Roundtable podcast.
