Hi Guys- Sorry I didn't spot this thread until now. Some answers:
Brill- H is correct- Custom Variables don't get sent by themselves- They're basically metadata for your pageviews and events. Their main purpose is to allow you to look at segments of your traffic. H- Can you elaborate on what you found problematic about setting up the custom report in Google Analytics? It sounds like you were entering every possible combination of CV's & pageviews & events as a seperate report- Why not just put pageviews, total events, custom variable key (1), custom variable value (1), custom variable key(2) etc... into the same report? Also, Analytics has an export API, you might fare better specifying your query precisely with that- You can try it using the javascript interface using the Query Explorer here: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataExplorer.html Hope this helps! -Alex On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 8:10 PM, Brill Pappin <[email protected]> wrote: > That would explain why I wasn't getting any data back. > > I've already moved to Flurry though, so not going to switch back now :) > > Yes, you can attach a lot of data to a Flurry "event" but i don't like how > its tabulated. the params are buried a bit. > What I ended up doing was constructing my event string with > the recurring values that would give me useful information. > That sounds a lot like what you would need to do with the GAnalytics > library as well. > > I did think Flurry was dead simply to use and I'm getting that data I was > looking for. > So far it doesn't seem to be slowing down my users at all, so in general > I'm happy enough. > > What I recommend is that you pick some free app that you use for > experimenting on (I tell my users that if i'm going to do any experimenting, > i'm going to do it on the free version) and plug it in to see how you like > it before switching everything over. > > - Brill Pappin > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<android-developers%[email protected]> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
