What happend to Advanced Segments?
-
I notice Google made a bunch of changes to Analytics this week (although I can't find an official announcement?). Does anyone know where the Advanced Segments feature went??
-
Totally agree! What's nice is that they have several "pre-built" segments you can easily select by drag and dropping. I wish Google would stop making constant changes to their products.
-
Yep there it is! Thanks! Not very intuitive UI...
-
Dana's second image is the advanced segment builder. The area she circled is "advanced conditions" and "sequences" (which are very powerful, BTW).

In the second view, If you click one more time on "Create New Segment" you are taken to a screen that contains the Advanced segments.
-
I believe if you go into "Acquisition" and select "Overview" then click the circles next to "All Visits" the screen will flip to a view where you can view and select your advanced segments. I'm including some screenshots.
Is this what you were searching for? LOL, I found it by accident quite honestly.
Not sure if this is what you are needing or not. -
There is a down arrow below the Email | Export menu for each report pane!

How to filter blog pageviews using segments with regex
I must be overcomplicating this. I have a website with a blog structure that includes year subfolders, so: website.com/2019/blog-title, website.com/2018/blog-title, website.com/2017/blog-title, etc. I want to create a segment that I can apply in Site Content > All Pages to get quick stats for all blogs, regardless of year. (Pageviews, time on site, etc.) Unfortunately, Content Drilldown doesn't work well here as it is grouping by each year. I have tried setting up a segment using regex, but am getting a mixture of all pages, not just blog pages. I have set up the segment the following way: Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2019/(.*?)/ Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2018/(.*?)/ Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2017/(.*?)/ Am I going about this all wrong? Is my regex wrong? Any advice is appreciated! Side note: glaringly obvious that now is the time to clean up my URLs. But I'd still love to see the data in its current URL state. Thank you!

Can Segment capture organic traffic? If so is it more reliable than Google Analytics?
Hi mozzers, We just learned that our standard GA hasn't been as reliable as we hoped so and we are trying to find other ways to track organic sessions. Which solution would you consider? Is Segment one of them? If so, is it more reliable than Google Analytics? Thanks

Advanced Segments for Remarketing Lists
Hello Moz community! I have a question around advanced segmentation for a client and was hoping someone would like to take a crack at it. Basically, I’m trying to establish segments which map to areas of the sales funnel, which I can then utilize as remarketing lists. So the scenario is this, for the time being we have 4 stages, let’s call them Aware, Interested, Engaged and Intent. For each of these stages a user will need to meet specific criteria. So for instance, Aware segment looks like the following Aware: Visited 1x (site.com/home) Had 2 unique page views/session That’s pretty easy to do in segments. Where it gets a little more confusing is when we try to take it to the “Interested” category. Which would have the criteria of Interested All of aware Repeat visitor (2x in last 30 days) Visited specific deeper pages (site.com/home/page1) (site.com/home/page2) Had specific events fire Clicked on download data sheet In GA, does this segment architecture make sense? | Filter users Include Page Contains site.com/home AND Unique Pageviews per session ≥ 2 Filter Users Include Page Contains site.com/home/page1 OR Page Contains site.com/home/page2 AND Count of Sessions session ≥ 2 Filter Users Include Event Label Matches download datasheet | I would love any feedback on this! Thanks in advance

Some questions on how to set up a multi-visit advanced segment in Google Analytics
Hi I would like some assistance / clarification on how to set up a user segment so that it can track user behavior over multiple visits. Basically I have a campaign set up and want to see conversions - even if they hit the site and then convert later on another visit. I've read that you can do this (over up to 30 days). So I start off by filtering TRAFFIC SOURCE - easy enough. But then I have to add under "advanced" correct? But then when I set the next filter to the GOAL I want, I only get "by session" and "by hit" as options. The blog post I read made it sound like only "by user" would then really do multi visits. Is "by user" only an e-commerce tracking option? (which I don't have set up) Is there another way/path to get the info I need? Thank you!

Can you use an advance segment as a metric or dimension for another advance segment in GA?
I have 3 advanced segments set up: Branded keywords Non-branded keywords (all) irrelevant non-branded keywords. irrelevant non-branded keywords are keywords where the visitor is not ready to purchase. for example keywords including terms such as "ideas" or "how to".. these have generated 0 conversions for us, and I want to track these separately from keywords that have a chance in converting, since the conversion rate between the two groups vary a lot. for the advanced segment "branded" - i listed a listed of keywords pertaining to the company name - using includes, Matching regexp and | (pipe) between keywords for advanced segment "non-branded keywords" - i took the same list and excluded matching regexp | between keywords. **for advanced segments "irrelevant keywords" ** - i took one word as the keyword and used includes, contains, and the keywords.. using OR statement between keywords. pipe doesn't seem to work with the "contains", and only seems to work with "matching regexp". **What i want to do is excluded all items from "Irrelevant keywords" in advanced segment "Non-branded keywords". but i can't seem to exclude based on another custom segment. **nor can I list - [X statement OR (statement y OR statement Z OR statement AB)] any thoughts on handling this logic?

"not selected" is gone from Google Webmaster Tools Index Status Advanced
Just noticed today that the "not selected" has been removed from the Index status, Advanced section of Google Webmaster Tools. Anyone know why. I've used this metric to determine how or why Google was not selecting pages, particularly to gauge canonical's, 301's and duplicate content. It will be missed if gone for good.

Confirmation page gets hit multiple times by some users. How I can I segment out unique visits?
Hi All, I'm web marketing manager at http://www.evenues.com which is like an AirBnB for meeting space. When calculating the number of bookings for our meeting spaces, I've set up a goal in analytics with the confirmation page as the goal URL. The problem is, it seems that some users are looking at the same confirmation page several times. We have unique URLs for each confirmation page, but some users seem to be visiting these unique pages more than 2 to 5 times. This skews our numbers a bit. This makes things a bit problematic when it comes to segmenting visitors. is there anything we can so that each unique URL visited only counts once? Thanks, Kenji

How do I best segment tablets on Google Analytics
I would like to find a way to best segment out my tablet traffic to measure performance; however I'm finding that there are road blocks. It doesn't seem that device operating systems or screen resolutions have clear cut differences in the tablet/mobile versions. Has anyone here found a good way to create a "tablet" segment in Google Analytics? Right now I'm having to lean on solely the ipad traffic to get indicators of tablet performance. Thanks!
