Advanced segements Google Analytics
-
Hi guys,
I was to hasty last time marking the given question as answered. So i would like to ask another question on the subject.
My original question was how to get a pdf report of 10 specific keywords with information about visits,pages per view. avg, visit time, new visitors and bounce rate.
The answer was to create an advanced segment with "or operators" and adding all keywords on an exact match basis. I did this but it still gives me a list of more then 500 keywords in traffic sources organic view. Next to that i get different visitor numbers for some keywords where it says 40 at the normal segments (all visits) but gives me 0 when i turn on the advanced segment.
I've been clicking and changing things for a long time until i got almost dizzy.
Could someone plz help?

They dissapear when i refresh indeed, but this does not work in a pdf. The pdf report gets the full list. I just guess this is a bug and they still need to fix some things.

I can reproduce this by:
1. Selecting both the custom segment with regex filters and the standard 'all visits segment'.
2. Turning off the all visits segment.
Now I end up with all words being empty like your screenshot. However, when I refresh the page they are gone.
I'd say just click around in your reports for a while and see if the problem goes away automatically.
Good luck!

The regex statement actually gives good results but the problem is that is shows me the words that give "true" on the regex, but it also shows the words that have "false" but then it just displays "0" at every dimension. I've added a screenshot again to make this more clear.

I will try the regex filters. But i included the image of my actual segment.

It is hard to say what you did wrong without actually seeing the segment filter. However, you might want to have a look at the type of match you used. E.g. If you use 'contains' 'my query' it will also match 'my query with longtail'. Also, offcourse you need to make sure the segment is turned on (use the checkbox).
If you don't get it to work you might want to use just one include regex statement like so:
(^query 1$)|(^query 2$)|(^query 3$)....
Good luck... If you don't get to work you might want to post a screenshot of your current filter settings

Direct traffic spam on Google Analytics: how can you identify and filter it?
One of my smaller clients noticed a huge jump in direct traffic visits last month. The bounce rate was around 97% so I'm pretty certain that most of the traffic was illegitimate. I know how to filter out spam referrals and organic keywords in Google Analytics. However I'm not sure what to do about direct traffic spam. Are there recommendations for filtering this out? Can I identify spam IP addresses?

Alternative to Google Analytics
Hi from sunny Manchester! I'm looking for recommendations for alternatives to GA. I'm specifically looking for something which won't sample data and will give us accurate numbers. Our site is pretty big, it receives 6 million+ visits and 50 million+ pageviews/year. Any recommendations would be greatly received together with any good/bad experiences you've had with them. Thanks in advance, Brendan.

Keep multiple Google Analytic / Webmaster accounts seperate?
Hi, I have a paranoid suspicion that putting all my websites on one Webmaster / Analytic account will mean any links between my sites won't carry any weight, and Google might consider similar content much more readily if 2 of my sites are in the same market. So I have about 4 different accounts with my main sites split across them. Am I being over paranoid? Do any of you have any problem with all your sites being on the same account?

Google Analytics Goal Funnel Visualization Issue
I've setup a goal funnel but am having an issue when I look at the funnel visualization. It doesn't appear to be recognizing the 1st step of the funnel that I've defined in the goal edit page. The "Property Listing page view" is located at /listings/xxx where xxx is the number of the property. Within the funnel, I've added /listings/*, but when I go to see the funnel visualization, I see 0 counts for this step (even though it clearly shows on the entrance page to the left "/listings/622, etc". I've attached a .pdf with a few images to help make this clearer. Any thoughts? CRD-Funnel.pdf
