Google Analytics?

    I am sorry if this has been asked before but can't seem to find it.

    Everyone seems to love Google Analytics, the only problem I have and that is holding me back from putting it on all my sites is while it does provide overviews, it doesn't provide specific details. For example, I want to see the exact URL's of all my referrals. While it does provide referrals like forums.digitalpoint.com - 25 visitors, where do I see http://forums.digitalpoint.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=5 - 25 visitors. Obviously an example just an issue. Maybe it's an option, just can't find where to get that in-depth.

    Yes, that's a drawback, I agree. The only info coming close to that is the category 'network location'. But this doesn't provide exact URLs or IP-adresses either. Would be helpful sometimes, though.

    Well, I know it's available for most services, that's why I found it so odd that something so vital would be left out with google. Ohhh, well, at least now I know I wasn't going crazy, at least on that ;) Thanks all.

    k, found it.

    Theres a red down arrow beside all the referals, like forum.digitalpoint.com

    click it

    click cross-segment performance

    then click content

    this will give you all refering pages of that domain.

    There is also a (+) next to each referring domain. If you click the (+) it will give you the same information.

    Besides analytic I am using the very old log analyser
    http://awsd.com/scripts/weblog/index.shtml
    Not so pretty but fast to read as in plain text only

    all that info is in analytics but you have to dig down and find it.

    ok, but - if I then continue and click on

    cross segment performance > content,

    I get something like page names or the like of the source, no URLs or domain names.

    If I cklick > cross segment performance > network location, I get designations of the source, e.g. company names or the like.

    And I do not see any red arrows. Are there different versions of G!Analytics?

    the red arrow is the pointy up thing, thats red. when you click it the 2 arrows point down.

    when i do the cross segment performance, i get the folder. ie /something/somethingelse/

    Yeah - but that's not what pc_user wanted to see (I guess). Nor did I. We want the exact URLs.

    if you go to referal conversion.

    Marketing Optimisation ->Marketing Campaign Results -> Referral Conversion

    you get a list of domains that gave you traffic.

    If you click + beside the domain, for me it lists ALL pages that refered traffic.

    However, it will not give you the full dynamic link. ie, forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php will what will show up, and miss the ?t=242278

    However heres a hack.
