Hi again everybody. This link is probably the most important for people out there doing more than the basics with Google Analytics. In other words, if you are just installing the code and then looking at reports and interpreting the information, this link is of little to no value for you. However, if you are looking into trying some custom segmentation, adding search engines, linking domains and sub-domains and advanced profiling, perhaps you should take a look at this page:

This page has all the information you need about the functions present in both the urchin.js and the ga.js scripts.
Take a look and hope this little tip helps.

Google Analytics Qualified Professional program! Yeap. I took the test in over an hour. Answered a good amount of very interesting and not-so-upfront questions and got my qualification. After studying for an entire day, even though I felt like I knew GA pretty well, I decided to take the test. I think that the studying really made a huge difference, otherwise I would’ve failed.
It is an in depth analysis into basics, advanced filtering and profiling and even Regex!
Anyways, one thing disappointed me a bit. After getting my qualification I didn’t find the logos anywhere. So I decided to create my own for the time being until they come up with the official ones.
I honestly hope I am not offending anybody by doing it; cause people get offended with anything these days. I think that my clients will appreciate the extra effort to get qualified and therefore “officially” say that you know what you are talking about.
