    That was so fast.. I'll save and break down into little chunks.
    In lockdown I followed Ninja advice obsessively to recreate my website and I'm now run off my feet with clients!
    From the moment lockdown ended it was like a race gate opened, it's not let up much since.... there needs to be two of me!!!
    I really admire your model, you give so much advice to those with no budget to hire anyone to fix things for them. Yet, if you are willing to put in the effort following your advice then small businesses and sole traders with zero promotional revenue can reap massive rewards. That is pretty awesome in this day and age.
    I rank #8 to # 12 in Google for my main USP. I've taken clients from over a hundred and fifty miles away just to get their nails done!

    Very nice video. Quick question though. The opposite of engagement rate isn't bouce. Bounce in UA was measured by users who landed on the site and didn't take any other actions (regardless of time) so if someone engaged in the site because they were 30 seconds in it, but they didn't do anything other than read and leave the site, that would have been a bounce count. The way I look at Bounce is in the path exploration.

    • @ExposureNinja
      @ExposureNinja  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you're right - it's not a direct opposite in that you could feasibly have a high bounce rate despite keeping visitors engaged. Engagement rate is a far more useful metric to tell the story that most used bounce rate for

    Good one. But you miss the all last click thing when you measure per channel. Paid social mostly get you first click but lose on last click

    I just found this vid and your channel. I am trying to setup an exploration using your example and when i try to add Transactions it is greyed out with popup message that says "Incompatible with currently applied dimensions and metrics." Dimensions are Device Category and metrics are Active Users and Purchase Revenue. any thoughts?

    Not a bad tool by any means - but it's almost entirely built with e-commerce in mind. It's incredibly frustrating to lose simplicity of searching by URL path for individual pages/categories, and by god I'm gonna miss content grouping. I understand the shift, but I'm still in two very conflicted minds...

    It looks like this guide needs to be updated (already!).. The free-form report doesn't work as you've described.. Default Channel Grouping appears to have been changed to Default Channel Group and this doesn't return any data

    • @seechelsicreate
      @seechelsicreate 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, that confused me too. If you go into the "Select dimensions" screen, scroll down to "traffic sources" instead of "attribution" and you'll find "first user channel default group" and "session default channel group" and I think those are the alternatives.

      @@ExposureNinja Same here. After removing "cities" from the Rows box, I was left with a table that just had one row with a blank row label and a grand total number. Fine so far. I then added "Default channel grouping" to the dimensions and then dragged and dropped it into the Rows box and the complete table disappeared with the message "No data for this combination of segments, values, filters, and date range. Try editing the variable or settings or remove them"

      Exactly. It is way too loud and distracts from an otherwise good video. And hearing-impaired people are also left out.

    I'd really love to learn from you but I'm afraid the background music/noise is just too intrusive and i can't easily hear what you are saying. Just thought I'd mention as friendly feedback is often worthwhile. thanks.
