More Basic Terms Pageviews The number of pages that were visited by all users Bounce Rate The percentage of sessions where only one page was viewed* Conversion An action we would like the user to take on the site Conversion Rate The percentage of sessions that contain a conversion Segment A group of users that share similar attributes

  13. Segments - We’re Not All Equal

  14. Dimension? Metric? Metric Dimension

  15. The Source Three ways Google Analytics knows where a user came from (source/medium): • AdWords (auto-tagging) • Marketers (manual tagging) • On its own* (referer HTTP header)

  16. The Source <script> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-41152208-1', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); </script>

  17. Question Answer What’s to stop a random person (who doesn’t really like you) from placing your tracking code on their website? Nothing (other than their conscience). But even if they do, you can exclude hits that did not come from your site.

  18. Filters - What’s That Noise? Hit Hit Hit Hit Hit Hit Country Device Website address Platform Language Environments and many more.... Filter Hit Hit Hit

  19. Filters vs. Segments Filters • Once applied, filtering cannot be undone • Filtering works at the hit level • Filtering does not cause sampling • Cannot compare filtered views Segments • Can be undone by simply removing them • Segments work at the session level • Segments may cause sampling • Up to 4segments can be compared
