Avinash Kaushik has taken the stage at eMetrics Washington (http://emetrics.org/washingtondc/)

His arm's in a sling. Has to have a plate put into his hand on Thursday. Had been scheduled for surgery Tuesday morning, but could not not show up, so he's here!
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:26:24 PM
It's his right hand, so instead of a book signing after, it'll be a "book hugging" :)

@avinashkaushik thanks for fighting through the pain for #emetrics!

#1 Upgrade: Unique Visitor metric improvement: New "Unique Visitor" metric can be pulled into custom reports. No longer an "N/A". Can trend "Unique Visitors", review keywords by Unique Visitors, not just Visits.
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:33:18 PM
De-duped Unique Visitor numbers.
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:33:40 PM
"Biggest frustration with #GA, I couldn't do a lot with unique visitors. Now I can" -@avinashkaushik @googleanalytics at #emetrics

The new "advanced filter" link is at the bottom of the page, to the right of the containing/excluding filter box.

"Advanced Filtering" #ganalytics will reduce our very long lists of Adv Segments. Will speed up slicing & dicing for insight #emetrics
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:37:34 PM

Report advanced filters...basically pivot-like queries. Looks like GA is going after excel for analysis #emetrics

#3 Upgrade: Improved conditional goal setting. 20 goals instead of just 4. [This will help content sites immensely!]
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:39:52 PM

6 - Alerts!
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:49:51 PM
Create custom alert, with conditions that are either 'dimensions' or 'metrics'.
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:50:23 PM
Can set alert sensitivity by individual alert, not one setting overall from 'low' to 'high'.
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:51:49 PM
Blog metrics alert from Avinash: if referral path contains 'blog' and average time onsite is greater than 120 seconds. He's already found new blogs from this alert.
by june_li at 10/20/2009 6:53:03 PM
Can set email alerts for notification of combination of metrics(e.g. any blog: refers > x to site) #googanalytics @avinashkaushik #eMetrics
by strottrot via twitter at 10/20/2009 6:53:29 PM
you can set an alert to let you know when people came in from a blog to your site #googleanalytics #emetrics
