[G] Share reports by email and export to PDF: now live in the new Google Analytics

Google Analytics Blog: Share reports by email and export to PDF: now live in the new Google Analytics

The new Google Analytics has come a long way since it was first unveiled last March. Between multi-channel funnels, real time, flow visualization, premium, and a whole host of other incredible features, it is hard to believe that only a year has gone by.



We are excited to announce that Analytics reports can now be automatically sent to yourself or other members of your team from within the new Google Analytics. These reports can be set up to email at a variety of regularly scheduled times, including daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Reports can also be exported to PDF allowing you to save or share the insights you've found using Google Analytics.



Where to find Email and PDF export

Look in the newly-redesigned Utility Bar located at the top of your favorite reports for Email and PDF Export options:





In order to provide maximum flexibility, this functionality is available on standard reports, custom reports, and dashboards. Clicking on the "Email" button on a dashboard pulls up the same email scheduling dialog as in standard reports and offers the same feature set:





Why "beta"?

For those who have used the email scheduler in the old interface, this new emailer system operates independently and has enhancements in reliability and ease of use. We are putting the finishing touches on the look and feel of exported reports, and anticipate that these will be finalized soon.



Part of the transition to the new emailing system is an opportunity to "reset" your scheduled emails. Consider which scheduled emails have been most helpful and be sure to recreate those in the new interface. The new Google Analytics has some reporting differences and additional metrics that you may want to take advantage of when drafting new scheduled emails. We will provide ample notice before scheduled emails from the old Google Analytics are sunset later this year.



We would love to hear how the release of these features helps you to be efficient and derive valuable insights. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Happy exporting!



- Chris Anderson, Google Analytics team

Inside AdSense: Monetize online videos and games with AdSense


It seems that everyone these days is spending more time watching their favorite shows online, or playing the newest online game. eMarketer predicts that in 2015, 76% of total U.S. internet users will be regularly watching videos online, and that 40% will be playing online games. These audiences are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers, and spend on video ads and ads within games is growing each year.

If you're one of the many video publishers or games producers who can benefit from this growth, you might be interested to know that Google has two solutions to monetize this type of content: AdSense for video and AdSense for games. With AdSense, you're able to deliver relevant and non-intrusive ads on your video content and browser-based games. Over the last year, we've seen these products take off. We're particularly excited about the TrueView video ad format that gives viewers choice and control over the ads they watch, while delivering better returns for our publishers.

If you're interested in monetizing your video content or games, please visit our AdSense for video or AdSense for games Help Center sections. We've changed our application process so that you can start to implement straight away. Follow our guidelines and once we review your integration for policy compliance, you're ready to go.

The network of video and games publishers gets bigger every day, and we hope you can join us!

Google Lat Long: Google Model Your Town 2012: Vote for the winner!


Cross-posted from the SketchUp Blog

The 212 teams that participated in this year's Google Model Your Town Competition produced thousands of models, the vast majority of which were jaw-droppingly, heart-stoppingly, mind-bogglingly gorgeous. Narrowing down the field to six finalists was a gut wrenching affair, but it had to be done. In alphabetical order, the finalist teams for 2012 are:

Evansville, Indiana, United States | Evansville's collection of models
Modeler: Randall Crane

Getaria, Gipuzkoa, Spain | Getaria's collection of models
Modelers: Josetxo Perez Fernandez, Pedro Domecq Aguirre

Leominster, Herefordshire, United Kingdom | Leominster's collection of models
Modeler: Tom Harvey

Lowell, Massachusetts, United States | Lowell's collection of models

Modelers: Arkadiusz Pawlowski, Górniak Grzegorz

Zielona Góra, Lubuskie, Poland | Zielona Góra's collection of models
Modeler: Tomasz Szular

This video provides an aerial, musical tour of each of the six finalists' models in situ. Make some popcorn and enjoy.


It's voting time!

It's up to you (and the rest of the world) to pick an overall winner. We've created separate one-minute video tours for each town, as well as KML files that you can download to see the models in Google Earth. Peruse the entries, then vote for your favorite. You have until May 1st, 2012 to cast your ballot.

Congrats and thanks to everyone who entered—this year's models were truly amazing.
