First and foremost thank you so much for your blog, I have to say I have been reading you religiously. I have been working in Searhc marketing for a while but I recently started using site catalyst and search centre instead of Google analytics. I have to say I am used to the way google set up things and I need a bit of help for something that might seem really simple to you.
One of the things I haven’t managed to do and I know it s possible cause you have been showing it in your post is how do i set up my traffic sources report? I don’t understand what i need to install to be able to see SEO/SEM/affiliates etc…
Thanks a lot for your time and great advice!

You mention that linear allocation on eVars only works within one visit. Can you expand on that? Are you saying that it only allocates to channels or campaigns that the user stacked within a single visit? I would have thought it would allocate across visits that way you could look at a channel report and see which participates in more stacks as compared to all channels.

Thanks, Rob

Great question! You can choose whether you want to include the same Traffic Source twice in a row. I tend to include that so I can see the full picture, but I didn’t include that in my example for simplicity sake. Thanks for highlighting this option.

Thanks for another great post.

Would the cross-visit participation solution suggested above capture a sequence of visits originating from the same source?

For example:
SEO | SEO | Direct
SEM | SEM | SEM
Email | SEM | Email

I’m hoping it does but I’m fearful it doesn’t.
In any case I think this solution is superior to the Stacking Campaigns report as you don’t need to reclassify using SAINT.

Can you clarify?

Thanks
Michael
