- New On Google Analytics Pages Reports – Entrance Metric
- by Daniel Waisberg. Marketing Land, June 26, 2012. "A new metric appeared on the pages report on Google Analytics recently. The pages report provides basic information for each page viewed on websites. It shows the number of times a page was viewed, how long (in average) visitors stayed on the page, what is the Bounce Rate of the page and what percentage of visitors left the website through a specific page (direct link to report). However, since yesterday we started seeing a new column: Entrances. This metric tells us how many of the visits to a specific page were also the first page seen in the session..."

- Google Analytics and the new EU privacy law #3
- Measuring Success: Official blog for the book Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics by Brian Clifton, June 11th, 2012. "As you may be aware, last May (2011) a new EU privacy directive came into force – officially known as Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), though often referred to as the 'EU cookie law' as it implies that setting website cookies without a visitors consent would be illegal in all 27 EU member countries... The good news is, that by default Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) and uses only 1st-party cookies. In addition, all reported data is aggregate. That means it is grouped data and not that of individuals. Following the guidelines of the ICO, this means explicit consent is not required if you only use Google Analytics..."

- How to Understand Your Google 'Not Provided' Traffic
- by Dave Davies, Search Engine Watch, February 2, 2012. "... By using the process outlined below, we can get a very good understanding of what the 'not provided' data is in regards to what types of queries they're entering. Not exact, but good enough to make some solid extrapolations. The assumption we need to make when working out a method for determining the breakdown of our 'not provided' data is that logged in users are not the same as those not logged in. If 15.4 percent of our tracked users enter with a given phrase, that doesn't mean that the same percentage will apply to our 'not provided' users. They're a different breed..."

- Occam's Razor by Avinash Kaushik, May 14, 2012. "... There are many different tools, both online and offline, that measure the elusive metric called brand strength.
