"I really don't understand the heel first running style."
Running heel first is undeniably easier than running toe first.
For a runner to switch from heel to toe running is straight out painful. It puts more than double the stress on the lower leg (calf, shins). Overtime, becoming acclimated to toe running is probably beneficial, but it requires a lot more lower leg strength and conditioning.
Simply put, people run heel first because it's easier.

GPA is just a measure of how much time you spend studying, factored in with your natural intelligence.
The people with the most intellectual potential are those who maintain a decent GPA but spend little time studying, but instead do things that are productive (as the article explained).
A valedictorian who does nothing but studies doesn't have a greatly increased chance of succeeding in life.

As for Analytics: You can see the current day's traffic by extending the view period to include today's date. By default it only displays up to the previous day, but you can usually extend it to include today's date.
Advertisements hinder user experience. Startups with the best user experience (and value) to visitors will succeed. A startup who works on implementation and user experience before monetizing the site has a better chance of success.
This is not to say you shouldn't think about how to monetize in the future.
