Google Analytics is an awesome program to track traffic on your websites, but there was always one thing that bothered me. In the referring sites section, there was no link to actually visit the site that referred you. You had to copy the domain name, then copy the actual full URL, add the domain name to it…every time you wanted to see the page that referred you.

But finally, Google has come through with a simple solution:

Google added a new window icon that actually clicks through to either the domain or the actual page that referred you.

THANK YOU GOOGLE!

Update: I found out that a bunch of new features on top of clickable referral URLs were also added to Google Analytics:

Hourly Reporting
View by  daily/hourly is now back for those that want to see their stats broken down  by the hour rather than just the day.

Cross Segmentation by Network Location
You can now cross segment reports by network location.

Increased number of data rows per page
A single report page now can show 500 rows of data, rather than just 100.

Bounce Rate increase/decrease
A slight error in colors of bounce rate increase/decrease was corrected.

AdWords Integration
It’s now easier to link your AdWords and Analytics account together.

I’m glad to see proactive changes being made to the software.
