- chrisirmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14This new version actually tackles just about all the things I've been hoping for since Urchin became Analytics:
Scheduled email reports (that look great)
PDF Reports
Customizable Dashboard
Much improved UI
Usable Mapping
Easy to find and digest keyword reports
Site overlay now works with CSS dropdowns, etc.
Plus it looks a whole lot nicer too! - BionicBeefpile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12From the top of your Google Analytics page:
"Over the next several weeks, we will be migrating all existing Analytics accounts to the new Google Analytics interface. You will be notified by email once your account has been migrated" - gregmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6http://www.google.com/analytics/
- xpose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I like the fact that now visits numbers dont overlap each other so you weren't able to read them. This is a great change indeed.
Its also interesting the the default stats are generated by month rather than week. - Ratatosk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the new one will go live as late as in a month I think.... that means if you are lucky, it will be live in 5 minutes, and if you are unlucky it will take a few weeks... but I bet most people will have it within one week's time.
I love the UI. With the old version, I have no idea what 90% of the stuff is good for. I haven't had a chance to see it yet my own, but I saw the screenshots and it just looks... googley.... very googley.
everything is clean and it gives you a great overview. I can't wait on checking that page regularly. - kingkool68, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Man, I still have the old boring dull interface. Anyone know when this will go live?
- loof, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can't wait til I get the new interface, it looks like a huge improvement on an already great service.
- richstyles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I hated the old interface.
- conmulligan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh right, existing users don't have the news UI yet...
- actown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmm my sites does not have the new look, but my friends does >_>
- etandrib, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Link to official tour: http://services.google.com/analytics/tour/index_en-US.html
- Voodooengine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i like it.
- conmulligan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Analytics is the *****. The new changes haven't come through for me yet; one of the disadvantages of living in Europe is the substantial delay in Google's new features.
- duncanwinter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0better
- postingit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0sorry to disappoint you users who think you are going to be getting a great product.. you are not.. here are just a few of the issues I have seen..
1. Buggy in Firefox
2. Graphics are too large and text is equally as obnoxious
3. Data that used to be viewable on the front page are now 3-5 levels deep
ex. New maps - I used to be able to look at the executive summary and see where people came from and numbers right there. Now I have to do region/country/city before I can see anything - this is huge esp when monitoring activity of 500k visitors
4. no network location cross-reference data
-- includes kw (no data)
5. Cannot see all goal data at the same time
6. Cannot compare visits, pageviews and conversions at the same time
7. Not organized well - things do not follow a logical progression
8. Items are difficult to locate
9. No real navigational elements
10.Can only view 100 items at a time instead of 500 not bad on small sites, but on a large site where we get 1/2 a million visitors a month it is severely restrictive
11. cannot sort data a all.. if it gives you back the lowest ranked kw there is now way to switch to the largest.. so with 55k kw's i have no way to access data.. that is simple..
12. no summary at the end of the column, so you have to scroll up to view the overall numbers (ie conversion rates or number of visits) etc etc etc...
and this is just from the first 15 mins of using it.
I will go back to the old til they force the new, but I think they made a horrible mistake - along the lines of IE 7 - it is a lousy product! Only people who use analytics for cursory data will be ok with this - if you are a heavy user for a corporate or high trafficked site these changes are going to severely limit your business model. I think it is time to reconsider our options. - diggleague, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3The new version seems like it takes more clicks to get to the main information, and a bit clunkier to navigate. Guess that is why it is in Beta ... and seeing that this is now a Google Product we can expect it to be moved out of beta sometime in 2010.
- standsolid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1any javascript to make this work for everyone?
- xpose, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2@richstyles (#6581269)
Hate is a bit strong. When it first came out, it was unique and better than most other services. - notjamt9000, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Hmmm, this looks rather inappropriate: http://james.nerdiphythesoul.com/googleanal.png
- Hilton, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Google has completely redesigned the product and enhanced the feature set through new email reporting, customizable dashboards, improved map displays, and plain language descriptions to make important information more accessible.
Other Unique Google Analytics Features:
* Email reports and improved clarity of graphs allow users to explore and discover new insights
* Customizable dashboards ensure the right data gets to the right people at the right time
* Plain language descriptions of the data allow users to take action to improve their website
