it all came up in an email conversation I was having and I wasn’t told not to share any of the conversation. There are no performance metrics, which is the stuff you aren’t allowed to share and similar info has been posted on the google blog before - it was just nice that they tailored public information just for little old me!

The funny thing was the recommendations sent didn’t actually improve anything :)
