Google have recently rolled out a series of improvements to Google Tag Manager.

Google Adwords provides a wealth of performance data. You can track impressions (the number of times your ad was shown), clicks, click through rates, quality scores, search impression share and much much more.
Ads are changing on smartphones to make it easier for people on the go to find what they are looking for.
Due to roll out in mid October, ad extensions may show instead of the second line of your ad text.
Google Analytics users who have opted in to share their data anonymously with Google will be very pleased to learn that Google yesterday announced the return of benchmarking reports.
Brandwatch, the leading social media analytics platform, have recently announced the launch of a new product allowing access to historical Twitter data going back to 2006.
With many other platforms offering up to 1 or 2 years data the new Brandwatch "Twitter Hindsight" offering means access to a full 8 years of data from the date of the very first tweet. For more information please refer to the Brandwatch Blog.
Callouts are a new ad extension from Google AdWords that allows for additional text information, complementing the product or service, to be shown with an ad.
If you log into your analytics account and go to the Acquisition / Channels report you'll find a breakdown of traffic to your site by the channel used to find you.
