Do you use Google Analytics , then get in here
 

Do you use google analytics, do you waste hours trawling through screens that make no sense, just click these links and add them as a custom dashboard.

They collate useful bits and put them all on a single panel. If you care about SEO, then server performance is a good one as the google likes to see your site is fast etc

let me know what you think, it has made my life a lot more fun, LOL

Also, google has a new analytics javascript engine out called analytics.js you should be transitioning to that as it provides user trackin and custom dimensions and metrics. As well as realtime monitoring and reporting

If anyone likes this shit I'll post up some custom alerts that you really should also have that can alert you to things happening on the sites.

:upsidedow

Still digging through the 69 facts, interesting so far.

Thanks, Interesting Stuff

yeah sorry, had a lapse and posted something that might be useful LOL

nice stuff man, thanks for sharing :)

Okay; this is pretty cool and I have only looked at the 69 facts. It sucks that so much of my mobile audience is using Apple products; but I will deal with it.

Great post!!

thanks, ive been on a mission for the last month and become a bit of an analytic freak , lol

I'll get around to the custom alerts shit next

Scotch and diet ?

I've messed with Analytics for a very long time -- years. Unfortunately, I never had time to actually sit down and learn the ins and outs of it.

Seriously, you're a bad ass. Thanks!

LOL , we had a few of those, now its the Viognier

odd after i added the server performance dashboard as soon as i click average page load time it takes me to gotporn.com wtf?

Keep us posted.

you'll find some custom dashboards there, some are similar or the same as what's in the OP.

On a widget, you can set up the title of a widget to be a link to go wherever you like, some people use them as shortcuts, some prefer them blank. Click the edit pencil, and remove or mod the link to your own site. If you have hundreds of sites in analytics and they've got freaky names, its an easy way to get to the site if you need to check it over should the analytics be showing things that need to be looked at.

There are some more here as well http://www.dashboardjunkie.com/

Nice stuff

Thanks for the posting.:thumbsup

Best post around here for a while. Thanks for sharing!!!! :thumbsup

This was amazing. Thanks!

I just moved from piwik to GA and wondered why GA didn't have the easy to navigate data that piwik does. This new info make GA look more interesting in comparison.

Good call on piwik, and in fact for SEO work, you might not want all your sites being linked by GA UA codes ;)


One of the advantages in the past for things like Piwik was the ability to direct inject events into the database. With GA, you can also do this now via their measurement protocol.

Google are providing an alternative to their old ga.js with analytics.js under their new analytics. All non-premium account holders should be seeing this now as a beta option when you setup up a new analytics profile.

The measurement protocol is part of this, you can inject say a download event, a signup or a button click as an event to filter your data. You could even rig it up to an arduino and a pressure pad and fire an event every time someone opens your beer fridge.

It is like the old custom variables, but provides more options with custom dimensions, metrics and you also get to put real descriptions against them.

Even without MP you can use something like http://code.google.com/p/php-ga/ which allows you to fire pageviews or events direct from code independant of browser activity. So if you had signups coming back via mobile payment processors, fire an event into your site GA that says "mobile registration" and then use this as a goal, BTW events are now part of the goals where up until recently it was only URL based so you dont have to rely on strange named psuedo virtual pageviews.

Get a rebill, then fire that in as well to work out quality of signup traffic sources etc.

Very cool. I like the 69 facts and the social tracking.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!:thumbsup

Nice share man, thanks! These are some useful dashboards.

As for Piwik though, it's a cool stats package that I've used before, but the analytics package you use is only one of many footprints that Google can use to determine site ownership. So just using Piwik isn't enough to cover your tracks, just fyi.

Thanks, good share!
