New features in Google Analytics!

// April 10th, 2008 // Scripts, Sites

Today I received a new email from Google. It announced the introduction of a new service in Google Analytics: Benchmarking! I rapidly login in my analytics account to see this new feature and what it has.

First you must enable this option. When you login, if you don’t see a yellow settings box than just click on Edit settings link. From there you can allow benchmarking. After that go to the site you want your data to view and in the “Visitors” tab you will see a new option: benchmarking. Click on it. You will see statistics about verticals in the business. This should help you see how your site is doing compared to other websites in the industry. For more info visit the Google analytics blog.


Google also introduced new graphics options: by day, by week and by month. This will let you chose much more easy the time interval that you can see the graphics of your visitors and also to make comparisons between two time periods. Except for this no new feature has been introduced. For more info visit the article from Google Analytics Blog.

Even if these new features are still in Beta, they work just fine and I did not see any bugs or something. I recommend you try them out.
