Autotrack for analytics.js

Maybe not so cool for you non-developers but we find Autotrack very tech-sexy. Requiring minimal manual implementation, Autotrack for analytics.js gives developers  like us a strong foundation for tracking the data that is relevant for today’s modern web.

The internet has changed leaps and bounds since Analytics start in 2005.  The internet of today is much more in depth and varied.  Though the web has changed, the implementations of analytics has essentially stayed the same. So Google decided to get a bit more serious about how they went about their analytics.js implementation.

Geared towards a developer audience, Autotrack automatically detects changes made to URLs through the History API, in turn, tracking those as pageviews.  It also syncs up with updated URLs so all future hits (social activity, events, ect.) are correlated with the correct URL.

What we’re excited about:

• Declarative event tracking.
  Simply adding attributes to your markup.
• Media Query Tracking.
  Now allowing you to register media query values you’re not using, and automatically track via custom dimensions and if those values change.

Deeplinking from Google Analytics to AdWords

We'd be lying if we told you that we're not super excited about this portion of Google's forthcoming awesomeness. With Google's new Deeplinking, taking action in AdWords is easier now based on insights you generate from AdWord reports in GA.  Deeplinking from the AdWords reports in GA to AdWords itself.

Within the coming weeks, the AdWords logo will be located next to each Campaign in the AdWord reports in Google Analytics.  This will make it easier to take action in AdWords based on generated insights from the AdWords reports.

What we’re excited about:

• Taking Action.
  The capability of going straight to a Campaign through the AdWords logo is going to be easy without segmenting a further report.
