14 Profile Filters Limits and modifies traffic data within a profile. Only contains data starting from the date created. Can be applied to multiple profiles, but each must be viewed separately. Never apply to RAW DATA profile. Limit profile data to certain account users. 14
15 Profile Filters Predefined Filters Exclude traffic from the domains Exclude traffic from the IP addresses Exclude traffic to the subdirectories Custom Filters Exclude/Include Pattern Search & Replace Uppercase / Lowercase Advanced 15
16 Goals & Funnels A goal is a website page that serves as conversion for your site i.e. completion of call to action. Form confirmation Downloads Purchase A funnel represents the path that you expect visitors to take on their way to converting to the goal. Conversion rate Visitor goal abandonment Bottlenecks 16

19 Understanding Your Audience How can web analytics help you better understand your audience(s)? Where are your audiences originating from? Internal vs. External Geographies Traffic Sources Direct Organic Search Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Pay-Per-Impressions (PPI) Off- and Online Campaigns Social Media External Sites 19
20 Understanding Your Audience How can web analytics help you better understand your audience(s)? How do your audiences access the site? Browser Operating System Network Mobile Which devices? 20
21 Understanding Your Audience How can web analytics help you better understand your audience(s)? How do your audiences behave on the site? New vs. Returning Visit Frequency Visit Recency Visit Duration Page Depth 21
22 Understanding Your Content How can web analytics help you better understand your site s content? How are your pages performing? Pageviews Unique Pageviews Time on Page Bounce Rate Exits 22
23 Understanding Your Content How can web analytics help you better understand your site s content? How are your pages performing? Page Popularity Content Drilldown Landing Pages Exit Pages 23
24 Understanding Your Content How can web analytics help you better understand your site s content? What are audiences searching for? Search Volume Search Exits Search Refinements Time After Search Search Depth 24
25 Advanced Segments Used to isolate and analyze specific kinds of traffic. Non-destructive and can be applied on historical data. Allows viewing and comparison of multiple advanced segments side by side in reports. Not available for absolute unique visitors, goal and funnel reports. Use filters for these areas. 25
26 Under the Hood: Goals & Funnels 26
27 Goals & Funnels What is a Goal (a.k.a. Goal Conversion or Conversions )? Any specific, measurable action performed by a site user that you determine is more valuable than a standard pageview. You can define the desired path to the Goal and track that path using Funnel Reports. You can have up to 20 goals across 5 goal tabs 27
28 Examples of Goals Downloading a specific PDF Visiting a specific sub-site (e.g., Current Projects, Alumni Giving, etc.) Engagement goals (e.g., commenting on a blog post, sharing a site asset via social media, etc.) Purchasing an item 28
29 The Importance of Goals Single most important measurement Helps to define website success: completion of a Goal Also measures how close visitors who did not complete the Goal came to completion Negative Goals tracking how people get to error pages, etc. 29

31 31
32 Funnel Reports Funnel - the path a visitor takes to complete a Goal Funnel Reports Trace the visitor path to a Goal Not ideal for every Goal (e.g., Pages/Visit) Use for Goals that have a clear linear path Expect to lose visitors at each step in the path (thus, the term Funnel ) 32
33 Types of Funnels Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 33
34 Cylinder Shape This shape represents 100% Goal completion. It is unrealistic, if not unattainable. Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 34
35 Traditional Funnel The most common shape. Represents a sharp decrease in visitors with each step in the Funnel. Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 35
36 The Bulge Shape The bulge represents an ill-designed path, where there is a sharp increase in visitors in the middle of the path. Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 36
37 The Birdbath Funnel A shape depicting a large number of visitors leaving early in the process. Represents poor conversion and significant barriers to progress. The shape of the Funnel can tell us a lot. Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 37
38 The Flowerpot Funnel This is the ideal shape. Represents a welloptimized path, with a gradual decrease in visitors with each step in the Funnel. Adapted from Clifton, B. Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics. 38
39 39
40 The Multi-Channel Funnel Report New feature in the latest version of Google Analytics Shows the path to a Goal from multiple channels (e.g., social media, banner ads, blasts) for up to 30 days prior to Goal achievement For more information:
41 Under the Hood: Campaigns 41
42 Campaigns What is a campaign? Campaign Reporting is a way to track a marketing campaign s results under a single category. Link Tagging is a process by which you can customize URLs to track website visits that comprise a campaign. 42
43 Parameters for Link Tagging utm_campaign (required) The name of the specific marketing campaign (e.g., 2011_Comm_Mrktg_Conf ) utm_medium (required) The marketing medium by which a visitor came to visit the website (e.g., , postcard, billboard, banner ad, twitter, facebook ) 43
44 Parameters for Link Tagging utm_source (required) A specific source for the website visit (e.g., vp_ _2011_10_19, tweet ) utm_content (optional) Used to differentiate ads within a campaign utm_term (optional) Used only for paid keywords (e.g., Google AdWords) 44
45 Google s URL Builder 45
46 Deconstructing the Resulting URL utm_source=research_admit_ & utm_medium= & utm_campaign=admitacademicoptions 46
47 The Source utm_source=research_admit_ & utm_medium= & utm_campaign=admitacademicoptions 47
48 The Medium utm_source=research_admit_ & utm_medium= & utm_campaign=admitacademicoptions 48
49 The Campaign Name utm_source=research_admit_ & utm_medium= & utm_campaign=admitacademicoptions 49
50 Shortening the URL Shorten the URL when sending it to visitors: Methods for shortening URLs Use bit.ly: (requires free account activation for customizing URLs) Use go.iu.edu (IU s URL-shortening service, requires CAS login): Add custom, shortened URL to your website s.htaccess file (not for the faint of heart!) 50
51 51
52 52
53 Under the Hood: Virtual Pageviews 53
54 Virtual Pageviews What is a virtual pageview? A method for making reading a report cleaner Replaces longer URLs in a report with a readable format Similar to Events (covered later) 54
55 Long URLs and Reporting Some dynamically-generated URLs may contain a long string of parameters used for connecting to databases: Databases need those parameter values, but the associated URLs are hard to read and decipher in Google Analytics reports. 55
56 When should you use virtual pageviews? Google Analytics includes the ability to create Virtual Pageviews to replace confusing URLs in reports. You can also use Virtual Pageviews for items that are not normally tracked as pageviews, but have similar actions (e.g., opening a PDF file). 56
57 Reporting with Virtual Pageviews In any pageview reports, only the folder path and parameter string (depicted in red below) will appear: si/t45rmdnjoo/i- UNIVLIB/ /9 57
58 Reporting with Virtual Pageviews Virtual pagviews make reporting folder paths easier to read: si/t45rmdnjoo/i- UNIVLIB/ /9 /books/herman Wells - Being Lucky 58
59 Virtual Pageviews - Creating the URL <a href=" t45rmdnjoo/i-univlib/ /9" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackpageview', '/books/herman Wells - Being Lucky']);">Being Lucky by Herman B Wells</a> 59
60 60
61 Under the Hood: Events 61
62 Events What is an event? An event is any action a visitor is capable of performing while visiting a website. Practical definition for Google Analytics: Any in-page action that does not cause a pageview Help to reduce high bounce rate on a page that would otherwise generate a single pageview 62
63 Events Event examples Watching an embedded video: Playing the video Stopping the video Navigating an in-page slideshow In-page gadgets (AJAX) File downloads 63
64 Event Components category (required) a value describing a group categorized under a common name (e.g., Homepage Slideshow ). action (required) a value describing what the user did to trigger an event (e.g., click, press play, stop ). optional_label an optional value you can use to provide additional text information (e.g., Slide 1: State of the University Address, Play Alumni Video ) optional_value an optional numeric (integer only) value that use can use to provide additional numeric information. Google Analytics will sum all aggregate values. 64
65 Tagging an Event <a href= # onclick= _gaq.push(['_trackevent', 'CATEGORY', 'ACTION', 'OPTIONAL_LABEL', OPTIONAL_VALUE) >Link</a> 65
66 Example of a tagged Event <a href= # onclick= _gaq.push(['_trackevent', 'Homepage Slideshow', 'Click', '1 - IU Energy Challenge winners', 1]) >Link</a> 66
67 67
68 Events vs. Virtual Pageviews Since Events do not generate pageviews, use them only to track actions that would not count as a pageview normally (e.g., interacting with a video, AJAX application, slideshow, external links, etc.). Virtual Pagviews do count as pageviews. Use them to track actions that you would consider a pageview under most circumstances (e.g., downloading a PDF, Word document, etc.) 68
69 Under the Hood: New Features 69
70 Mobile Reports Access the reports using Audience» Mobile Overview Simple report showing breakdown of mobile vs. non-mobile visitors. Mobile Devices Presents visitors broken down by mobile device. You can also segment by service provider, input selector (e.g., touchscreen, joystick, stylus), operating system, and other dimensions.

71 71
72 Visitors Flow Report Access the report using Audience» Visitors Flow Uses nodes and connections to graphically represents the paths visitors used to navigate your website. A node represents: one metric of the dimension by which you re filtering the visualization (first column); or a single page or collection of pages (for example, all pages in the wearables directory). A connection represents the path from one node to another, and the volume of traffic along that path. 72
73 73
74 Real Time Data Reporting Access the reports using Home tab» Real Time (BETA) Overview - shows referrals (websites and keywords) of visitors who are currently viewing your website.

79 The Process 79
80 Measure Best Practices Establish your site goals (macro and micro). Define the audience(s) and metrics associated to each goal. Update your site privacy policy. Create a Google Account.
