Hey, Virendra, thanks! Yes, we left the filter as a placeholder meant to be replaced by *your* content URL. If we remove the filter in the template, then it takes stats from the whole site, which isn’t the point of this particular dashboard, but thanks for offering up an easy work around for readers!

This is a great dashboard. However, the dashboard template that I downloaded from the link in your post has a filter for a page in it. I only found that after debugging for a while, because all my stats were 0. You should remove the filters from the dashboard. You can find the updated template (without the content filters) at https://www.google.com/analytics/web/template?uid=WoMVwudCRmOTxpTFrOpR9Q

Wow, that looks like a really great panel! Thanks for the support. Generating new ideas regarding how to make the qualitative quantitative has been both a challenge and a rewarding experience. And also helping people understand that content isn’t just the icing on the cake, it IS the cake. Thanks, Luis!

Great stuff. I’m going to share it on AAF Seattle’s LinkedIn page http://j.mp/AAFSeattleLinkedIn.

Where were you when I was looking for content strategists to be panelists for our next Speaker Series event, “Content Is Your Brand?”

Thanks for the post! Analytics is one of those things that everyone knows about they just don’t know how to turn it to their advantage. They’re so helpful in determining the success of a site and it’s value.

It’s amazing how simple they can make monitoring your efforts with both short-and long-term goals. Of course, you have to be careful about the conclusions you draw with real time analytics, but they can be quite helpful. Thanks, Christopher!

Thanks, Ian 2.0 (sorry, Ian is already taken here at Portent ;) I’ve been really proud of a lot of the work people here are doing, it’s really nice to hear that people are noticing it.

Great information Rebecca, thanks. I will use this to set up my Google Analytics account and make it useful at last.

I have to say that the quality of posts coming out of portent at the moment is amazing! Every one is teaching me loads. This is the only site that I have on email subscription that I bother to check instantly – thanks for the hard work.
