Sometimes it's easier to use the fancy Advanced Segment builder in the UI than to write it by hand. Also this allows predefined segments like "iPhone" to be referenced. |

There are a number of reasons as to why advanced segments should be added to the API. The first and most important of which is that it allows segments to be reported on in an automated manner. This will facilitate the analysis of one segment compared to another. E.g. do visitors from the a particular state have a different product view to purchase ratio. Currently this type of process is labourious to do via the UI and hence lends itself to the API. The second is that adding this feature will allow for scripts to be constructed that can run a number of scenarios and report on the results. E.g. which other attributes (keywords, campaigns, etc) work better for visitors from each state in betting a better product view to purchase ratio. Dynamically accessing the segments using arbitrary parameters will facilitate this type of analysis. Thanks Rod Jacka Mananging Director Panalysis www.panalsyis.com |
