Yesterday Google announced they’re opening a new third party Application Gallery for Google Analytics.

The gallery already has more than 30 applications. Applications are organized into 12 categories, including business intelligence, campaign management, content, data collection, e-commerce, email marketing, mobile marketing, phone tracking, reporting tools, SEO, site auditing, and widgets and gadgets.

A few that seemed very promising included Analytics Visualizations,  Analyticator for WordPress, and WordStream Keyword Management for SEO. Plus, coming soon, is a brand new set of Google Analytics reports for AdWords (video included above). You’ve got no excuse not to know anything and everything that is happening with your site.

The study of 1,000-plus marketers shows 54% of marketers said they will boost budgets for email marketing, and about 66% in social media (even though about 80% of those acknowledged the difficulty in tracking ROI in the medium).
