Ah always great articles some nice tips, the greasemonkey script that shows the extra data can sometimes be a bit annoying but its a great idea to combine the data within the console rather than having to export it.

Thanks for the list of tips Ann. I didn’t even know you could use external scripts in Google Analytics. I’m definitely going to have to take a closer look at some of these tricks. Which do you think are the 5 most useful tricks? Which ones do you actually use?

I guess I have just been scratching the surface because I only look at the vists and the traffic sources. I have a question, I have been using bit.ly to track my links that I use on Twitter and it seems like they are not getting counted in GA. Do I have to do seomthing to set this up?

Some of the hacks can now be implemented better using event tracking. This tracks things like downloads, external links etc.. as events rather than page views.

Problem is that not all accounts have this enabled as it’s released in Beta. You can still access the event tracking reports which I blogged about a while ago: http://www.webhelp.co.nz/blog/2009/01/20/event-tracking-reports-without-beta-test-activation-in-google-analytics/

Thank you so much for this post. I’m currently looking on how to customize the filter or goals for analytics but I can’t understand how to setup. Since we can add more profiles for a same analytic domain account (for 1 domain), can we set a profile to collect data from a folder (blabla.com/blog) instead of (blabla.com)
