New Google Analytics Flow Visualization
- coob 15y ago> Visitor Flow is located under Standard Reporting > Visitors. Where? I can't see it.
- kenny_r 15y agoI think they haven't rolled out the changes to everyone yet.
- andreash 15y agothey will roll it out in the upcoming weeks.
- pinwale 15y agoThe blogpost is from a month ago. Google hasn't rolled it out yet? edit: Yep, Google still hasn't rolled it out to most accounts. :( source: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/thread?tid=205e33cb3f1e0b17&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/threa...
- petenixey 15y agoIt's great to see Google constantly adding new stronger features into GA. Omniture are going to have to do some incredible innovation or acquisitions to keep selling their astonishingly expensive packages.
- petenixey 15y agoI have always thought that it would be great to add some animation into flow analysis. It's inherently a dynamic concept yet it's always analysed statically. I'd love to see some dots representing users moving through these lines and the dots could also illustrate how much time people spend on the various pages. Coloured dots would be a beautiful way to visualise different segments.
- Hovertruck 15y agoYou might like the real-time "Traffic Flow visualization" by Chartbeat. Example using avc.com: http://chartbeat.com/labs/iflow/?host=avc.com http://chartbeat.com/labs/iflow/?host=avc.com Click on the pages that are connected by lines. :)
- petenixey 15y agoBeautifully done. This is exactly the type of treatment I'd love to see in those GA flows. Thanks for pointing it out
- dudurocha 15y agoI'm new to GA. I started using it last week in my new blog. I saw this feature, and found it amazing. It's really good to make A/B tests, and to see the effectiveness of your about page or home page. As my users grow, I think I'll use it more and more.
- still 15y agoThis would be a lot more useful if you were able to define a sequential path rather than "of the users who went to page x, n also visited page y".
- petrohi 15y agoGreat that GA recognizes importance of visual representation of flows. Although for sites with loads of dynamic content where URLs include one or more ids you would see picture segmented by content. Unless you instrument your site by features. Project we work on allows for quickly finding patterns of URLs that correspond to features while visually showing the top flows: http://infunl.com/screen/0 http://infunl.com/screen/0
- eps 15y agoLooks great, but I really want this as a standalone product so not to share my traffic stats with the 3rd party.
- taitems 15y agoCool, they're not using Flash for this one. One step at a time I guess.
- korenidan87 15y agoI'm just not in love with google's new UI.
