I have just started using the new Google Analytics interface and, ouch, its a doozy. Information which was previously available through drilling down is apparently being forced into a new widgetized reporting format, which might be great but seems like it has a learning curve steeper than Mt. Everest. In the meanwhile, getting to the information which is of paramount interest to me, like “Am I doing better this month than last month on Google, in terms of conversion rates?” seems to be much more difficult than it used to be. Hopefully in a few more weeks I’ll have mastered this interface and can get back to being productive again…
