Be Aware 51 October 2015 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Maximum number of sessions GA will process for a report is 250,000 visits  When sampling occurs, GA analyzes a portion of traffic, then scales to final numbers • No sampling in standard reports, until a secondary dimension or a filter is applied, triggering on-the-fly processing  Affects long-tail analysis on large sites with over 250,000 visits for the period being analyzed • Pages and Keyword reports most frequently affected October 2015 52 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 In a 3 day span, there are 1,250,000 visits, which is 5 times 250,000. Sampling factor is 5. • Day 1 : 500,000, Day 2 : 250,000, Day 3 : 500,000  Google will randomly sample by a factor of 5 • Day 1 : 500,000 / 5 = 100,000 visits • Day 2 : 250,000 / 5 = 50,000 visits • Day 3 : 500,000 / 5 = 100,000 visits  The randomly selected sessions are then processed  The results are then multiplied by 5 to scale back 1,250,000 October 2015 53 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Standard reports – unsampled  Add a segment – sampled October 2015 54 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

Some unique challenges 94 October 2015 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Marketing Campaign ► Standard taxonomy Tagging makes analysis easier (email vs Email) ► Determine purpose  Events vs Pageviews before tagging ► Continuous monitoring and view  Referrer spam filter updating 95 October 2015 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Dynamic URLs ► High cardinality, leading to “other”. Consider stripping URLs and content grouping  Sub-domains ► Visits shorter than actual ► Legacy as well as  Different GA code current. Cannot take across subdomains advantage of current features (e.g. custom dimensions) 96 October 2015 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Old and no longer upgraded • urchin.js – original 2005 code • ga.js – Traditional or Classic • dc.js – Classic remarketing  New installs • analytics.js – Universal Analytics • Should plan to upgrade within the next 2 years • Older versions will be deprecated. Processing continues on old versions for a minimum of 2 years https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade October 2015 97 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Next Generation Google Analytics • New code: analytics.js replaces ga.js, dc.js • Fewer cookies, therefore faster loading • User view • Integrate across multiple devices & platforms – including ‘offline’, rfid • User ID override cookies for sessionization • Sync offline and online data • Custom dimensions & metrics • Data import • Mobile app analytics October 2015 98 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL

 Point of Sale systems  Offline databases  RFID  Mobile, Apps, etc, etc User + Event Web site clickstream data 99 October 2015 ClickInsight.ca - Google Analytics - CARL
