All these videos on Google Analytics 4 shows that it is more complicated than needed by users. Some programmer was bored. There was nothing wrong with old Google Analytics.
Not true. Google Analytics 4 is meant for generating complex reports based on data gathered from websites. Not just for viewing hits on a website. If you just want hits, you're using the wrong tool so try something else like Simple Analytics.
it's to prepare you for the shit show that follows of trying to follow along; in just one year Google's managed to put out a how-to and completely change the interface, making this content mostly useless.
Did anyone at Google Analytics ask users how they use Analytics before making this tutorials? This isn't help - it is an overview to sell us on this product. All we want to know is how many hits a specific page has gotten over a period of time. Why is this so difficult to understand? We need a presentation for THAT.
Why when we search for a page or group of pages (in the Pages and Screens chart for example) doesn't the chart update to show the pages in the search results? It seems strange that the chart keeps showing the top pages when clearly we want to see the pages we searched on charted?
Does anyone see where to see where each page traffic comes from? I used to be able to (in UA) click on a page and see if the traffic came from google or pin etc. I can’t see where you can connect the dots between which pages get traffic from which source. I can only see total for a landing page and total from a source.
Hi, Unable to change the date for the reports that are under Library. It only shows last 30 days. We created the reports under the GA 4 Library folder, however, I can't see the option to change the dates. Currently it's only showing Custom Jun 1 - 30 and the data field is disabled.
Is there any way to save a comparison or filter to be used directly later? I don't want to go through the motions of creating the filter over and over again. Also, how to create a copy of the report and save it as a new one, instead of editing permanently?
GA4 reporting is terrible for Marketing Agencies as there is no function to replicate a created report to apply to all clients. UA had the ability to create a dashboard that could be loaded to all new clients. This reporting solution needs to be fixed as it only applies to one account, then you have to completely customize reports for every single client manually. Bad move on Google.
How can I analyse if users are buying products from different brands in the same session? I have purchase event with item_brand parameter configured and showing in GA4. I've tried sequenced segments, but "different" can't be configured there.
In UA for paid traffic I can pass info through the param and it shows up in the 'keywords' section of the realtime overview. How can I see that in GA4? It is by far the most useful aspect of GA for me
WHY DO YOU KEEP CHANGING THINGS???!! For instance, there is no way to select the timeframe once I click on 'Pages and screens' report. The left menu goes and so does the timeframe selector. This whole thing is a joke. The Configure button from the original GA4 is now gone too, so many tutorials from 6 months ago are out of date. I also don't see the table below my graph in the default 'Pages and screens' report.
Hello, I need your help please, I am a new student of GA4/GTM, and I have watched some videos here. I will like to ask, can I choose any e-commerce websites or any random websites to practice or use as a demo?
Hi, I have the same issue as @oceantradegroup4026, over the course of 24hrs all of my properties have stopped reporting traffic data although real-time and debug view are working, UA properties are still tracking if they have them. Just GA4 has stopped. This has happened across all properties, regardless of who set them up, we haven't done any changes to the properties or GTM. Seems to be a GA4 thing???

hi there, i have a very weird problem , i see realtime users on the page but only there i mean in any report or even home like users event count total users views are all zero what should i do
User acquisition report will show you the sources from where New Users entered on the website for the first time and whereas Traffic acquisition report will show the Total number of users entered on website from each source in a certain period of time.

exactly. this reminds me of google plus all over again.

@@alexdev404 Quite aware what google analytics does for years. How is operates now is more complicated than needed.
Perfect explanation for beginners. Thanks!
Great content. Very helpful, clear and beginner friendly
Intro is so relaxing

What is the difference between user acquisition and traffic acquisition and how both calculates data?
i think user acquisition for the new users and the traffic acquisition for all users maybe soon they will aggregate them in one report 🤷♂

Question: how to sort by views change when I compare to a difference period of time ? Like "Clicks difference" in Google console.
yes question: saving the edited report doesn't actually save the report. where do I find it once saved, because I can find it no where
This seems to work now - they are at the bottom within Library.

How do I change the date range on the custom cards at the end? Is there anyway to change it from 28 day views?

why my ga4 has generate leads, drive online sales, and raise brand awareness instead of life cycle? Where can I find the life cycle?
GA4 is a disaster. Very raw product with severely limited capabilities

How can I see traffic by month and week and not only daily? It was so easy on UA. Now I can't find how to show data by month with GA4.
I need it by hour. Did you find out how to change the period it displays?
hi there, i have a very weird problem , i see realtime users on the page but only there i mean in any report or even home like users event count total users views are all zero what should i do

Whoever built this clearly has no idea what analytics is
Tutorial is hard to comprehend. Image is too small and unreadable. Presenter is inarticulate and volume is low.
I hate how bad this software is

User acquisition report will show you the sources from where New Users entered on the website for the first time and whereas Traffic acquisition report will show the Total number of users entered on website from each source in a certain period of time.
