Web Analytics TV #9 with Avinash and Nick

This is the 9th exciting episode of Web Analytics TV with Avinash Kaushik and Nick Mihailovski, where you ask questions about web analytics via the Google Analytics Google Moderator site and we answer them. We had lots of fun putting this episode and we hope you get a kick out of watching it. Here is the list of last week’s questions.

In this action-packed episode we discuss:
  • How to track each referral source overtime for visitors
  • How to share custom segments and reports with other people
  • Getting transaction data for only one referral source
  • Is there a place to share Google Analytics code snippets and regular expressions?
  • Cross domain tracking when users right-click and open in a new window
  • How you need to think about Page Speed and Google Analytics
  • Using the comparison report with two date ranges (and hypercube space)
  • Sending historical or futuristic data into Google Analytics
  • Why eCommerce reports do not match an eCommerce backend system
  • Tracking commas instead of decimals for revenue in eCommerce
  • Tracking pigViews (just watch the video :-)
  • Reporting on content consumption (like pageviews) by keywords
  • Setting the visible number of rows in reports
  • How to normalize keywords to replace underscore with spaces
  • Best practices on upgrading to async tracking code
  • Best practices to report on cities in a particular state
