Google Analytics - Dashboard Question
-
I'm looking to set up a dashboard widget in Google Analytics that does the following but can't :
Shows traffic sources in a table as the dimension, and wanting to show goal completions to a specific product page and then only show what the average time spent (by source) on just those product pages. It looks like it's showing the whole session duration for the entire source, but I want to create a secondary filter that is only showing the time spent on those specific pages.
Can anyone help - or is this possible?
Thanks all!

That's kind of what I was thinking - kind of a bummer for what we're doing here, but we are definitely getting pretty granular.
Thanks again for all your help!!
Cheers,

Linked reports, which you pin to dashboards, can’t have metric filters or secondary dimensions (which is what you're after).
See limitations here - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6099989?hl=en
You can create the widget you're looking for using my example above, but it does require a drill-down, so will not be able to display on the dashboard.

The biggest problem that I am having is I want to group all of the product pages (which is a goal), then by source show the amount of time spent by source across just those pages. Do you know if this is possible?
Thank you again for all your help!!

I understand, but this is not really a limitation of GA but the nature of dashboards in general.They're not meant to be drilled down into, they're there as one-glance snapshots.
In GA dashboards, you can of course click the widget title on the dash, which takes you through to the actual table which then allows you to click the source dimension and see the page by avg. time on page.

That is helpful, but I can't find a way to drill down to a secondary dimension on the widgets on a dashboard. We are creating a dashboard with 12 helpful widgets to demonstrate how traffic is creating shopping behavior and this one would be extremely helpful, but I am having problems with some of the limitations within GA.
Is this possible?

i think the challenge is you want to use two dimension on one table. it would have been possible if you that particular dimension can have sub-dimension like in the case of campaign whereby you can have dimension drilldown. Campaign>>>google property

Hey,
I think this is how you want to set it up - http://gyazo.com/30d080d53fda667a388beac516766f74
Then select 'Converters' as the Segment - http://gyazo.com/a77ef5f1814f7177717b805023bd28d7
Hope that's what you wanted?

How is Google Analytics defining page depth?
We run two websites and as part of our KPIs we are treating those who visit 3 or more pages of our website as a client served. As a digital team we are not convinced that this is the best metric to use as the improvements we are making to the sites mean that people are able to find the information quicker. Additionally other organisations including forums etc link to us so those users will get the info they need in one click. What I would like to know is how Google calculates page depth in GA. Are they treating the landing page as ground zero and then when users clicks a link they go one page deep? Or is the landing page, page depth 1 . Is page depth a measure of how many clicks a user needs to find their information?

Behavior Flow vs. All Pages report in Google Analytics
In the interest of determining why our ecommerce site isn't converting, I've been spending some quality time with GA. I've suspected that our front page is part of the problem, especially where our organic traffic is concerned (we get a good deal of referral traffic from a link on an OEM's site). According to the Behavior Flow report under the Behavior section of GA, organic traffic to our home page is hemorrhaging (roughly 60% bounce rate). But when I went to the All Pages report (Behavior > Site Content > All Pages) and looked at organic traffic to our home page, then looked at the Medium as a secondary dimension, I'm getting a bounce rate of 35%. Why the massive discrepancy? Can somebody assist?

Google Analytics "Undetermined" Keyword
Google analytics is suddenly showing a new keyword "undetermined". Traffic Sources > Sources > All Traffic with the primary dimension set to Keyword. It's currently our 13th keyword and it is displayed without parentheses around that you see with (not provided) or (not set). Anyone have any idea what this is? Thanks!

Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

Conflicting Analytics: Getclicky vs. Google Analytics
Removal of an old getclicky code (and installation of new tracking code) from my site after some changes resolved inaccuracies in my page view/bounce rate information. Prior to adding the correct getclicky code, getclicky was showing 95% plus bounce rate on my site. I knew this was wrong because GA showed around 40%. Ironically, now that my getclicky account is working (showing a 30% bounce rate), GA bounce rate is steadily climbing. Is it best to just stick with one analytics account so that the codes don't conflict? Is it possible to have two accurate analytics accounts at the same time?
