Google Analytics Add New Comparison Graphing Tools
Those of you who use Google Analytics might be interested to see that they’ve announced a new graphing tool - ie that you can now compare not only time periods but different stats.
For example you can view your page views vs bounce rate for a given period:
Or you might want to track how the amount of time people spend on a particular page compares to the site average:
Handy stats to have.

This is good.
Hey anyone know how we can capture the graphical data in Analytics, like the graphs in this post? I can’t seem to be able to capture them using normal capture techniques…

Wonder if this is going to include comparing your own websites anytime soon…

This is great. I always wanted to easily compare traffic over the quarters. I had a complex system setup in Excel, but this will make it much easier.

@Muhammad: On a Mac, I’d capture a portion of the screen using the Grab application. This saves a PNG to the desktop, or copies it to the clipboard. It’s not dependent on being able to find the image on the webpage, which is difficult on GA as I believe the graphs are Flash based.
I’m sure there are similar tools for Windows, Linux, etc.
