To make it easier to search for and locate all the links and articles I had previously posted in our Slack group, I have moved them to TheDrawingBoard3 website at https://www.thedrawingboard3.com/category/analytics/

When you click on the link, you will see all the analytic articles that I have shared.

WEBSITE TIPS:

• From the website in the link, you can also use the Search bar to search for articles by topic or keyword that you would like to read or reread. For example, search for "google analytics" and all the articles with those keywords will appear.
• You can also use the Article Index (located at the bottom of the website in the footer) to find past articles sorted by Title or by Category. Here is a link to the Article Index - https://www.thedrawingboard3.com/article-index/
• If you have questions about the content discussed in any of the articles on TheDrawingBoard3 website, please leave a comment at the bottom of that article and I will reply. :-)

Have you ever looked at the User Explorer metric in Google Analytics? It's a little creepy.

This tool shows you details about individual users, such as when they first visited the site and how they were reached, with detail about their activity.

While it might not be the most useful metric of Google Analytics, it is interesting to check occasionally, and you might discover ways your visitors interact with your website more.

To view User Explorer:

1. Go to your Google Analytics Account and choose your website
2. Click Audience in the left menu
3. Click User Explorer
4. Click one of the links and then keep clicking to "drill down" as far as you can to see all the data

Here is a link to the Help Page for more information on what you can do with this data -https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6339208?hl=en
