It’s killing me!!! A new feature for Google Analytics is rolling out, and though they have given it to me on some of my accounts, they have not given it to me for Best Web Image yet.

Google is now slowly releasing the Annotations feature for their analytics. It allows you to make a comment about a specific date. This is something I have already been practicing using Microsoft’s Outlook Journal. I call it Journal Analytics.

Annotations

The annotations feature allows you to add comments or notes about certain dates within your Google Analytic page. To make an entry all you have to do is click the down arrow on you main dashboard page. See first screenshot below.

After you click on the little down arrow it opens up a new panel where you can track your changes. See second screenshot below.

You can share the notes with others or keep private, and before you know it there will probably be some website out there that lets you tweet the annotations.

Are the annotations showing up with your account? Let others know by commenting below. I have over a dozen accounts, and it’s showing up on about half of them. Dear Google, updated BestWebImage.com. I want the annotations!

  2. There are two simple steps required to start tracking a new website: the creation of a new website profile, and the addition of Analytics tracking code to all of the pages you wish to track.

  3. These types of notes help a lot when we work in group.

  8. Annotations on Google Analytics Super page, good information. Great Website …
    I really appreciate sharing this great post. I will bookmark your web site and will be without a doubt coming back.

  9. This is a great feature i am just loving it. It really helps you to be reminded of what all you have done till that date and what is your progress. Moreover it helps you to plan a strategy and to note it down on that date so that further on you could recall what you had planned to do and how far you have accomplished the task.
