    Hi Robert and thanks for providing this Q & A pad. Maybe you are available for some consulting? Anyways, how do I create a profile that filters all traffic but my PPC traffic? I am running PPC advertising in Google Adwords, MSN, Facebook and Yahoo. I would love one channel (profile) that focuses on PPC only. Is is possible?

    But there's more! You can also go to Visitors ==>Visitor Trending:
    - Pageviews
    - Average Pageviews
    - Time On Site
    - Bounce Rate
    Again you have the ability to apply which time dimension you want%u2026 hour, day, week, and month.
    Probably the most important "time of day" metric is in your goal conversion. You will need to have goals configured for this to work. Wouldn't it be cool if you could tell your clients when conversions are taking place? Yah baby it sure would. Moreover, if a client does not have goals configured it's time to do it! Setting goals for your website is right at the top of the data food chain for effective website promotion.
    Image Here

    1) Click Goals
    2) Click Total Conversions
    3) Choose time line
    4) Choose time dimension time; hour, day, week, month
    5) See how many conversion took place at that time
    6) Don't forget you can also export PDF, XML CSV, TSV reports as well.

    A question was recently asked from a business associate, Lisa. Lisa is an account management strategist for a tier one internet marketing company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

    I am doing just great, Lisa. I hope you are all set for the holidays! I cannot believe how time flies.

    Google Analytics will give you the information you are looking for and more. The way to see what time of day people are visiting your website is Visitors==>Visitor Trending==>Visits.

    Image Here

    1) Click Visitors on the left navigation menu
    2) Click the timeline. If you want to see activities on one given day remember the time delay. Report data may not appear in your reports for up to 24 hours
    3) Click Visits on the left navigation menu
    4) Choose desire measurement of time; hour, day, week, month

    The yellow highlight area shows the time of day and the blue shows how many visitors.

    More to follow...
