I am dying to see this. Has it been implemented yet? I’m actually astonished that it’s been this long without adding a simple idea that would make it a lot easier to look at your data.

This is a fantastic idea! It would also be useful to note changes you make to your Google Analytics profiles and filters. (ie. 3/14/2009 - Started filtering out all traffic from X IP address.) I’d LOVE to have this feature.

I can’t agree with you more. I was looking to see if they did do this, but alas they appear not to. Would be great for own custom labels, particularly if - like me - you run ad campaigns.

I had a similar idea a while back. One of our sites saw a 50% jump in traffic on one day and we were all bewildered. It turns out the stock had jumped nearly 5% on that day and trading volume was through the roof. I thought it would be nice to overlay stock price, and volume and put in markers for news releases, earnings reports, etc. Google certainly has the data to drive this feature. I guess if they could grab any RSS feed and lay markers on the graph using that it would be very cool.

I absolutely agree 100% with the marker idea. These markers could also be very helpful in marking points in time that one carried out various activities such as redesign of your site; move from table based design to css based design; executed off-line marketing campaign etc etc. Google, please add this functionality if you’re out there ad listening.

Google Analytics only works with users that visit and don’t give a crap about their privacy. Adblock with a well tweaked config takes care of all visits of Google Analytics, always prompting for cookies takes care of that mode of tracking.

That said.. 99% of web users could care less anyway, so call me Don Quixote.

I agree, I’d love to keep historical stats on my marketing efforts.

Google is hopefully listening.
