INTERNET MARKETING

Warriors,

Anyone know the typical delay (minutes?, hours? days?)
of G Analytics data.

We've had some weird stuff with conversion data and
transaction info, and trying to see if it may just be
a G delay.

Thx

I think it is one day, meaning today you can get stats through yesterday at midnight pacifc time.

  My Google analytics updates at approx. 3:00 am EDT, whatever that is in your time. Updates are once daily for the prior days traffic. (Best I can tell)

The delay is typically 24 hrs, which is a good rule of thumb to use

  You can rely on the data being 24 hours behind. They actually update more frequently than that from what I've seen. Usually you can get data that is around 3 - 4 hours old, but that is not reliable. This is why by default the date selection only includes through yesterday. You can select to get today's data, but it can't be guaranteed accurate or timely.
  
  Thanks

Is there an analytics program that can show you stats in real time (other than slimstat)?

  Since my OP, we've started using Visistat and love it. Real time tracking, including
  a real-time monitor that tells you who is currently on your site, and where they
  are at.
  
  Great web app.
  
  Thanks

Statcounter is pretty close to real time. Their free version is limited to 500 hits of complete data, however.

Just depends when you post and what hour you do it.
The longest is 24 hours, but My fastest turn around time is 35 minutes and I figure google must had been uploading just about then.
I'm guessing they upload in the evening time around 10:00 to 12:00 western time, because my fastest post came during those times.
