Avinash Kaushik, Google’s Analytics Evangelist, will be kicking off the Search Insider Summit in just two weeks. I had the opportunity to chat to Avinash last week about what might be in store.

Kelowna Businesses Mark World Usability Day with Enquiro

But it generally doesn’t cost a user more than a few seconds and a couple of clicks to get to your web site, realize it’s not that great, and go find one of your competitors.
