Things I track or would like to be able to track in GA (and other tools when GA falls down)
- Page views
- Accurate time on page google for "bounce rate time on page issues")
- Referral traffic URL (it's great that I got 50 views from reddit, but which post so I can go read comments - currently have to use Reddit Domain search)
- Amazon Affiliates reports (I have affiliate links on book review posts)
- Twitter stats (tweets, retweets, etc - currently have to use Twitter Search)
- RSS Subscribers
- Conversion from reader to RSS/Email/other CTA
- Page load time (one number ala github dashboard, link)
