I just got a mail from the Google Analytics team today about their new version which is available. The new UI’s are really out of this world. For those of us who were really confused with their older menu system will be really blown away with their new UI which is much simpler to use an navigate around.

Their earlier canned summary page now gives way to your custom dashboard where you can place the reports you want to see. The map overlay is more interactive now allowing you to drill down to countries and cities.

Here are the other improvements (as per the GA team’s email):

• Email and export reports: Schedule or send ad-hoc personalized report emails and export reports in PDF format.
• Custom Dashboard: No more digging through reports. Put all the information you need on a custom dashboard that you can email to others.
• Trend and Over-time Graph: Compare time periods and select date ranges without losing sight of long term trends.
• Contextual help tips: Context sensitive Help and Conversion
• University tips are available from every report.

The new interface has everything the previous interface had and more. In addition, links within reports make it easier to navigate related information and explore your data.

If you haven’t checked your Google Analytics account recently, head over there now and check it out.
