    Yeah I noticed that myself. I was excited about seeing where users clicked. I hope they bring it back soon.

    Google Analytics appears to be no better resolution than daily. i.e. you can't see conversions by the hour, for example. Can someone confirm?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    I was in google.com/analytics looking at some reports and then I clicked on "Analytics Settings" and then it took me into my Adwords account and is now saying...

    WTF!!!!! :mad:

    See!

    No, I just clicked on the "Analytics Settings" link.

    I guess they just have a lot to straighten out still. This whole Google account thing is a mess!

    Seems pretty mickey mouse to have non-beta services doing stuff like this. :rolleyes:

    Yeah. It's working now but the data is not updating on an hourly basis :(

    Let's hope that Google settles down quickly :)

    I don't think it's meant to update on an hourly basis. Some data is bythe hour, but has anyone seen evidence that we'll get hourly updates? This is one reason I am recommending to my clients to keep using IndexTools (or similar page tagging hosted analytic systems).

    1) It doesn't want to load the center content on Firefox. Maybe just me, my Firefox seems a little messed up for some reason on a number of sites.

    2) Started collecting data Nov 14 on GA.

    (Webalizer says ~300 visits/day steady (includes bots IIRC))

    Wed Nov 16
    Statcounter:
    --pageloads: 387 (5.2 avg)
    --visitors: 74
    GA
    --pageviews: 69 (5.3 avg)
    --visits: 13

    Tue Nov 15
    Statcounter:
    --pageloads: 208 (3.4 avg)
    --visitors: 61
    GA
    --pageviews: 193 (4.3 avg)
    --visits: 45

    Maybe it just hasn't had time to fully digest yesterday's logs - but you would hope 23 hours would be enough time.

    They say that once it's working properly, that the data should not ever be more than six hours old.

    "After you first install the tracking code, it generally takes 24 hours for report data to appear in your account. Google Analytics generally updates your reports every 24 hours."

    GA is a complex tool, and among all the data I'm unable to find a listing of all the search terms that brought visitors to your site. Is it there somewhere? :confused:
