		<description><![CDATA[The Google Analytics team has announced an exciting new feature to both Google Analytics Standard and Google Analytics Premium. Flow Visualization is a new set of reports that will change how you visualize pathways throughout your site and as equally exciting, your goal funnels. It helps to answer the question: How do people reach my site and what do they do once they get there? 

The base of this feature is nothing new. SiteCatalyst, Yahoo Web Analytics, WebTrends, and many others have had pathing reports for a while now. Flow Visualization extends beyond traditional pathway analysis reports through the use of imagery and powerful segmentation that makes actionable insight discovery a breeze in comparison. We've been using this feature since an early beta and the GA team has done what they do best by creating a feature that is both easy to use and very powerful.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of Google Analytics Premium's most exciting features is the availability of unsampled reports.

Many of you are likely familiar with the following message in the GA interface: "This report is generated in fast-access mode."  This means that Google Analytics had to sample the data in order to return the results to you in a timely manner.  In Google Analytics Premium however, you can download an unsampled report to receive fully unsampled data for your query.  The result: increased confidence in your data analysis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Google Analytics Premium, the number of custom variables that are available has been dramatically increased from 5 (in Google Analytics Standard) to 50!  We've helped many clients using custom variables, to both increase the depth of data that can be collected and to enhance the capabilities of segmentation in GA.  On many sites, it is consistently a struggle to keep inside the 5 custom variable limit.  The GA Premium 50 custom variable increase opens the door to richer data possibilities that will help you better target, optimize and convert your visitors.]]></description>
