I logged onto Google Analytics today to check on stats as per my morning routine, and noticed Google has released the new version. They are rolling it out to all analytics account so if you don’t see it yet, you should very shortly. My first impressions of the new interface were quite positive. The charts are nice and clear, and I find that its much quicker to monitor changes over time on the new version. The following excerpt from the official blog post sums it up quite nicely:

The new version presents data more clearly and in context, so you can look at a single report to gain insights rather than having to pull up several reports to understand what action to take.

One new feature I find useful is the addition of e-mail reports. If you are monitoring client websites, you can now send them an e-mail so they don’t have to login to look for the report you are referring to. You can also schedule e-mail reports daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. Report formats available are PDF, CSV, TSV, and XML.


SEO

For those who monitor the websites and blogs and want to know everything about the traffic, this updated version of Google Analytics makes drilling down into information much easier than before. Using Google Analytics, you too can become an SEO Expert! You can now view how much search engine traffic your site recieves over time, and can drill down into a specific search engine, and then into an individual keyword. All of this data is viewable over time so you can monitor the success (or failures) of your SEO campaigns. If you spend money to make money, then you’ll also be able to monitor the paid traffic vs. non-paid traffic with a single click.
