Thanks again runnerkik,
I have added your custom report and tried to set up the advance segment, however, I appear to have something wrong as it is returning 0 data. Please take a look at the attached screenshot...

Yeah, I'm afraid this isn't something you'll be able to just view with a default GA installation.
With some custom code and server side logic, it's certainly possible. The modifications mentioned above would be a great place to start.

any ideas anyone?

Doesn't page depth only tell me the amount of pages viewed 'per visit'?
I want to find out how how many unique users have viewed over 10 pages in 1 month, not one visit.

No problem. Were you able to add that custom report and then set up the advanced segments? The advanced segments for 10 plus pages would be page depth > 10 as a regex versus the 1 through 9 which you would say exact match when you set up the segment.
As far as unique users - the most unique is going to be visitors. Here is a great article that discusses exactly how unique you will get.

Hi runnerkik,
wow, thanks for taking the time to post this.
No they are not logged on. I want to know how many 'unique' users (as google describes unique) view more than 10 pages on my site in a month.

Hi MirandaP, so I guess to answer your question I have a question for you. In terms of unique users, when you say user is that person logged in some how? The reason I am asking is because you can use custom variables to track logged in and logged out users. This will require custom js code. Here is a video.

If you are talking about getting more unique that visits you can use visitors.
Here is a video explaining the difference.

So, a visitor has a cookie, and a visitor cookie keeps track of a timestamp, so one visitor can have multiple visits, and page views.
So in order to answer your question, you would need to create a custom report.
After you create your custom report you need to create an advanced segment. You could do 5 advanced segments, using page depth = 1, page depth = 2 and so on.
Here I created a custom report for you to help you get started.

GA Landing Page Inaccuracies
I had seen a thread on this a while back but no solution posted. There was a link posted to someone else explaining the issue but I got a 404 when clicking. Have a client that does mostly PPC and they are getting their conversion page showing up as landing page from paid many times. This is definitely not a sitelink, etc. The only way you get to this page is if you filled out the form. There are a few other pages showing up as landing pages that don't make sense too. Can this be attributed to someone being "inactive" for 30 minutes and then coming back and performing an action on this page (leaving)? If so, does this double count the conversion if a page visit here is a conversion? Just trying to make sense of the landing page report showing so many instances of our conversion page. Thanks in advance!

Using Canonicals on category or link pages
Hey, If a site has category or tag pages showing in search results for a particular keyword - sometimes higher than the page you would like to rank - could using canonical redirects on categories and tags be a solution? Thanks

I want to take down some pages, how do I inform google?
Hey Guys, I'm hoping someone can help - I'm in the midst of a site re-design - whilst one of our biggest reasons for the redesign was to create more space to write valuable content and unique content I have been reading other posts on moz about content auditing. I have come across a few articles in my own blog that are from 250 - 300 words to which the articles seem similar and the traffic is low. I'm wondering while I'm left to consolidate these articles and create a fresh article for each entry that is more in-depth, when I consolidate or delete these pages - do I need to inform google these pages have now been deleted? If so using Wordpress what is the best way to do this? Cheers and would appreciate some advise Thanks

Track subdomain in analytics
Hi, Our jobs section has recently been moved on to a subdomain https://jobs.ourwebsite.co.uk/home.html which is handled by a third party. Our analytics for the jobs section was lost as no code was added to the pages. Previously it was part of the main site. How do I track it as a subdomain so that it appears to be part of our main site? We have the old GA and universal GA code on the site Thanks

Has anyone experienced Google Analytics track the page visit to a "thank you" page, but not the goal conversion?
Has anyone experienced where Google Analytics would track the page visit to a "thank you" page, but not the goal conversion that should result? The goal had worked for a long time as it is as just a goal url with head match. No funnel. Not case sensitive. For about four days now, no conversions have been recorded, but Google Analytics shows hundreds of people visited the page that should trigger the goal. Additionally, we have received the hundreds of leads. A Screaming Frog search shows the code is embedded throughout the site. For the interested, the GA code looks like (and the 8 Xs are the correct number on the site): Am I missing something?

Google Analytics traffic hijacking?
Ran into something interesting a week ago - the same Google Analytics code was installed on two different sites by accident. The account was reporting traffic from both domains. Haven't found a definitive answer on how to stop this yet if it were to be used maliciously?

Why are we not seeing similar traffic patterns in a new market?
Good afternoon! We have a large real estate site with over 400,000 urls. We do pretty well with long-tailed search terms (like addresses--- 123 Main Street, Atlanta GA) so we get a decent amount of traffic (3,500-4,000 uniques a day). 2 months ago we opened up in a new market (Nashville) and hoped to see similar traffic for that market after a few of months, but so far we haven't. In fact, we only get about 200 visits a day. I can't seem to figure out why it's taking so long for us to generate similar traffic in Nashville that we see in Atlanta. All of the Nashville properties are in our sitemap and are being indexed by Google. Any ideas why we aren't seeing similar effects?Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! David
