This is the ultimate explanation of multi-channel funnels and the recent changes to session on Google Analytics. 37 minutes that are worth spending.

Hi Avinash, nice video.I think I have done the custom report suggested correctly but still get 0 visits coming up in October 2011, although a lot less. I am presuming it is because my report is accessing in fast access mode?

Wow I didn't know that somebody could visit my site and not be counted as a visitor when they come back in through another portal within 29 minutes of originally coming to my site

question: a user originally comes from google, then leaves my site, then types in the url in the browser (direct traffic). So is the second visit's source google or direct traffic??

thanks for helping

I like the part where Avinash starts yelling right after the 24 minutes mark. :)

As far as the change to Visits and additional metrics...shocking.
