Google Analytics

I got an email from Google saying they were adding new features to my Analytics. I have a hard time understanding the features they already have, so at first I was feeling stressed and inclined to ignore it. But their assurances that these features would be helpful caught my interest and I plunged in.

First they explained the new "flow visualization": "The Visitors Flow view provides a graphical representation of visitors’ flow through the site by traffic source (or any other dimensions) so you can see their journey, as well as where they dropped off."

And someone has already blogged about how to use it, so I will point you there:

As a result of reading about the above feature, there were links that led me to some nice tutorials, from the basics to in-depth explanations. They are in short, bite sized pieces so that you can absorb it at your own speed.

Take a look for yourself. As for me, I will work my way through them a little at a time!
