It’s time to say goodbye to delayed web traffic reports of Google Analytics because Google has recently announced the availability of real time visitors and traffic tracking in Google Analytics. The new Real-Time reports have already been turned on for a number of users and they will gradually be made available to all. You will be able to use Real-Time reports only if you are using the new version of Google Analytics. Google is not the first one to offer this, many competitors started providing real time analytics long ago.

Only Administrator of the Analytics Account or those users who have access to a Google Analytics profile without profile filters will be able to view real time tracking reports.

Now webmasters will not have to wait for hours and days to start monitoring after a new campaign is launched. It is possible to check how much traffic a Tweet or social media activity is driving, also Real-Time helps to check whether tracking is successfully implemented.
