Thanks for imparting more analytics wisdom. I'm glad you're out there poking around in the depths of Google Analytics for the rest of us!

And, Happy Thanksgiving!

I have played around with the advanced segments to gather data on a city area that we recently had a campaign. Had to go to Google maps and put in all of the names of the suburbs. Not sure how acurate the results are or if they can be trusted.

Something weird happened with comparing it to historical data. The same name of the city/suburb would show up twice. One of the occurrences would have 0 visits during one year with the other having the normal and visa-versa.

Anyways, thanks for the information on tagging Kyle from this post and others. Makes a big difference in organizing information and where people come from.

@Andrew - hope you had a great thanksgiving too

@Mike - usually the best place to pull city data from is to look at the Map Overview report in GA and that is the values that you want to filter for. So you have to go digging into a report and then you can segment or filter based on that data for next time.

@Dave - Thanks man. I look forward to reading your next post. You really have GA figured out from a SEO perspective something I really need to spend more time with.
