It seems that Google offers a FREE (per usual) web analysis application called Google Analytics. It involves putting a little piece of JavaScript on any page that you want to track, which I did for every single page on my site in 12 seconds because I'm THAT COOL (benefit of CMS).

From the looks of the screenshots, this thing is too good to be true. It maps entry points, does geo-tracking, analyzes search engine optimization (not just Google). Lot's of bells and whistles.

Now, don't make me sorry I told you about this. When your boss asks how you found out about it, tell 'em Bob told ya

I'm going to watch this one for a while...

http://collegewebeditor.com/

Will let you know if it's any good...

UBrander, another HE Marketing Blog that I'm watching...

There's a decent "Branding 101" entry in there but so far nothing particulary worth noting.

Andrew Careaga's Higher-Ed Marketing blog and Guy Kawasaki's Signum sine tinnitu blog.

Andrew is the director of marketing at the University of Missouri-Rolla. He seems to be doing a good job of aggregating higher-ed marketing trends and reports. I'm new to his blog so I can't comment yet on the long term value of this blog. Will watch it for a while and let you know...

Similarly, I'm new to the whole Guy Kawasaki cult of personality but his credentials are superalitve. Author of "The Art of the Start", guy was an early Apple marketing executive who has gone on to start software companies and he is now CEO of an angel venture capital firm called Garage. Learn more about Guy here.

It was Andrew's mention of Guy's post on what students should learn this year that sparked my interest in both blogs and their respective bloggers.
