I don’t think that many people would argue that Google Analytics is among the best visitor tracking solutions available, but one of the problems is that you’re restricted to viewing the stats in your browser. The Analytics Reporting Suite will be the first program to bring Google Analytics, in its entirety, outside of your browser and on to your desktop!

I signed up early on to be part of the Beta testing, and I’m pleased to report that the first installment of invites has been sent out. The Analytics Reporting Suite runs on Adobe AIR, so you must have that installed if you want this to work. After using it for just a little while I have to say that I’m quite impressed with how well this mimics the online site. It even has the options to export your stats to various formats (PDF, Excel, and XML). You can also have multiple tabs open making it easy to switch between different types of stats.

Something I hope the developer decides to implement is an easy way to view the current day’s hourly stats. This is something Google Analytics made extremely difficult when they launched the new version earlier this year, and it has received a lot of criticism from the users. A simple "Today" button would satisfy me, and I would think that it can easily be integrated into the Analytics Reporting Suite.

New user registrations have since been closed for the Analytics Reporting Suite, but the site says that you can email the developer if you would still like to get in on the Beta. In the meantime you can play around with the Google Analytics Widget that he has already released which is nice for a quick overview on your stats.

Note: Both the Analytics Reporting Suite and the Analytics Widget run on Windows and Macs due to the multi-platform nature of Adobe AIR.

Google Analytics Ditches Internet Explorer 8 Support By Year’s End

Google Analytics Ditches Internet Explorer 8 Support By Years End

Google has announced today that Analytics will ditch support for Internet Explorer 8 by the end of this year. This policy change only affects Microsoft’s browser, those Google Analytics users who still want to use the service through Redmond’s browser would have to opt for IE9, IE10 or IE11. Google hasn’t said exactly when IE8 support will be axed, but it says in a blogpost that it wants to give users more than three months to prepare for this change and minimize the “disruption to Google Analytics usage for you and your business.”

To be absolutely clear, this announcement doesn’t mean that webmasters will no longer be able to view traffic on their websites that comes through Internet Explorer 8. Google Analytics will continue to monitor all such traffic. The change for webmasters is that they won’t be able to use Analytics on IE8 to sift through traffic reports and statistics. Google says that its taking this step to accelerate “the pace at which we can innovate new product features.” Those who’re using latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari need to worry about this change. Internet Explorer 8 is the most popular web browser in the world, given the fact that Windows XP users can’t upgrade to a later version of IE.

    Google has given a boost to those who obsess over the minutia of their sites (and apps) with two new analytics offerings dedicated to the mobile side of things. App vendors will be able to see potential buyers stampeding to their wares (or not) with Mobile App Analytics, showing user info like traffic, geography and the model of device used. It will also provide engagement and business reports, telling developers how their apps are being used and letting them check if their monetary dreams are matching cold reality. Mountain view also released The Google Analytics App, letting on-the-go users have a truncated version of the full Analytics site, with features like real-time monitoring and the Dashboard, at their tactile fingertips. That app is now at the Play store, and the new App Analytics feature is in beta to approved developers. There’s no word as to when, or if, the App Analytics will be in the Analytics App, but in any case, you can check the source to get either.

    Google Analytics App for Android gets launched

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Google Analytics, a service from Google that generates detailed stats of websites, has just been launched on Google Play. Google Analytics App for Android will allow users to access the same accounts and profiles they will see when they open the Analytics web app from a desktop browser, but the dedicated app for Android will let users view reports that are specifically optimized for Android smartphones, similar to the one above. So what can website owners expect from the app? Google promises real-time analysis, showing you the number of visitors you currently have, as well as a list of the websites that are popular.

    Users will also find the dashboard nifty, as it shows KPIs and user metrics. Google said users will be able to see their Daily Unique Visitors and Goal Conversion Rates by default, but added that users can also customize the dashboard to change which reports, metrics, and segments they want to see. There’s also an automatic and customized alerts feature that detects “statistical anomalies” in your data. The feature will then send alerts to users when something out of the ordinary happens. So, if you’ve been waiting for this, get the app now via Google Play.
