In the left-hand navigation, you’ll see that your reports are organised into categories: visitors, traffic.. You won’t see the ecommerce sections here if you do not have ecommerce reporting enabled. To view a report, click on the category, and the reports available will appear. Some reports contain additional reports such as the adwords report. We will be looking over the individual areas of categories througout the seminar.
You can select a date range to compare to the current date range. When using the timeline to set a comparison date range you’ll see two date sliders instead of just one. you can use this to see how your site is performing month over month, year over year, or even from one day to another.
You can also compare 2 metics on the same graph to see how they are correlated. Click on the arrow on the top left of the graph, then click the “conpare 2 metrics” link for the metric you want to compare. For this example, we’re gabbing visitors vs average time on site.
Nearly every report contains a short narrative that summerises the traffic that is included in the report. the scorecard below the narrative provides metric aggregates, and average for the traffic. each box in the scorecard contains a question mark button. clicking opens a small window which explains how the metric is calculated.
The adwords campaigns reports have an additional tab called clicks. this tab contains adwords related metics such as clicks, cost, revenue per click and ROI.
You can segment table data in different ways by using the Dimension pull-down menu. for example, if you want to see the traffic in your keywords report broken down by city, you just select city from the pull down menu.
For Keywords and search engines reports, you have the option to analyse just paid, just non-paid traffic or all search traffic. simply click on the links above the scorecard to make your selection.
Some reports allow you to view results by hour. on these reports, you can select the day you want by click on the clock button in the top right corner next to graph by.
The fifth icon allows you to to see a summary report with graphs for the traffic you are analysing.
