Analytics calculation script updates

On Friday (December 14), Google updated its analytics counter. Of course, on Friday there wasn’t any desire to understand the new product, but today we managed to turn it around and see what's new for us.

Updated graphical interface, with which you can compare data from several sources:


That is, you can now compare, for example, how traffic is converted from some specific source (for example, Adwords) compared to any other specific source, and so on (see the help )

Also for the public in this beta version of the counter, a new script is presented for inserting ga.js into your pages, the old urchin.js will continue to work, but it is recommended to install new ones on new sites. The ability to update the old script to the new one is also provided, even the manual was written on 22 pages, you can read it - T racking Code Migration Guide (PDF) :)

In addition to replacing the new script with the old one, the manual describes in some detail the new functions that are available in the new product:

• Tracking virtual page views
• Tracking downloaded files
• Tracking a page in multiple accounts
• Tracking subdomains
• Track a visitor across domains using a link
• Track a visitor across domains using a form
• E-commerce transactions
• Adding organic sources
• Segmenting visitor types
• Restrict cookie data to a subdirectory
• Control data collection settings
• Control session timeout
• Control campaign conversion timeout
• Custom campaign fields
• Using the anchor (#) with campaign data

In one form or another, some functions were already in the old version, but after the update, their use became simpler and more visual.
