Google Analytics Real-Time Beta
Anyone played around with this yet? It's pretty neat. I just noticed it today, hadn't really looked at my Google Analytics for weeks. I'm sure it'd be much more entertaining to watch on a site (like this one) that gets more traffic.

Well, we have dozens of clients who use GA, but none of them are using real-time beta (that I know of). I'm not sure it's really taking off as Google intended. Most people need to match up monetization data with their GA data, and it currently takes most of the next day before previous-days GA data is updated. Real-time GA data is only good to monitor traffic during time-sensitive campaign pushes, such as holidays or month-end extra-budget spends. However, without being able to mash up monetization data in real-time, it's only useful as a gauge for how much extra traffic you are hoping to monetize.
A much better move for Google would be to finalize their previous-days data much earlier the next day.... please, google, please. -

Google analytics real time beta is fun to look at, but I only use it if I want to see if advertising on the radio has an immediate impact. -

My fiancee just added this to a couple of websites that she runs. So far, it's working great with tracking how much traffic their websites see.2017 Certification Goals:
