Google Analytics Quick Tip - How to see (some) hourly information in Google's new interface


Hey Boys and Girls,

Quick tip for those of you who are a little peeved at Google for disabling their older interface, which allowed much more extensive hourly views into visitor behavior.

So far, the only thing I've found in the new interface which allows for some hourly analytical goodness is under the Visitors Tab, followed by Visitor Trending. Pretty much everything under the Visitor Trending allows for an hourly view EXCEPT Absolute Unique Visitors.

That's it. Hourly reporting is definitely in the works over at Google Labs, and I'm sure they are working on some more hourly reporting tools as we speak. In the meantime this will give you access to some hourly info, which might give you some insight as to what your visitors are thinking. What I'd really love to see is some real-time action from Google's Analytics Tool.
