Posted in: #GoogleAnalytics #Statcounter

I recently moved to Analytics and was overwhelmed by the choice. A view I'm missing from Statcounter is the "recent came from", which is a list of recent referral activity and the landing page, as shown here: ( got it from Google images )



I'm guessing it's possible to replicate the layout with Google Analytics but I don't know how. Can you guys help me or at least point me to a good manual?

(I think I'm close to it by going to Acquisition > referral > secondary dimension > time, but there I find a lot of options and none of them looks "right")

Yes, you're close, but I prefer Query Explorer - ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/
You need to add:

a) dimensions: Hour of Day (ga:dateHour), Page (ga:pagePath), Full Referrer (ga:fullReferrer)

b) metrics: e.g. Sessions (ga:sessions) or Session Duration (ga:sessionDuration)

c) filters: ga:medium==referral

You could use also "Minute Index" (ga:nthMinute), but then you need to calculate, because it is Index for each minute in the specified date range. Index for the first minute of first day (i.e., start-date) in the date range is 0, 1 for the next minute, and so on.
