Analytics: How to see how many uniques viewed over X amount of pages in period

[MirandaP]

Hey guys, anyone any idea how to do the following in google analytics? I need a little help, I am looking at my traffic for a given month, I can see how many unique users visit over X amount of times, but can instead of visits, can I see how many unique users I had that looked at X amount of pages or more? Appreciate all help!!

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.
