Premium Members can now use Google Analytics to get meaningful insight about the traffic to their deviantART Profile! Using our new Google Analytics integration, you can access comprehensive statistics about your audience, traffic, and art.
Get Deeper Insight Into Your deviantART Traffic
By enabling the feature on your profile, you can now use Google Analytics to get a better grasp on the deviantART experience that you’ve created for your audience!
- Understand what types of people are organically drawn to your work. Where do they live? How long are they on your page?
- See the impact of the marketing you do outside of deviantART. When you share your deviantART work and links in other networks and sites, you’ll be able to track the traffic back to your Journals, Gallery, Profile, and much more!
- Understand what your visitors are looking at when they’re on your Profile and even for how long! Sometimes visitor trends are unclear until you can see the bigger picture.
- Evaluate the difference in attention you get for some types of work versus others.
- See a direct correlation between your marketing activities to deviation submissions and spikes in traffic to your Journals, artwork, or Profile pages.
Learn More About Your Audience Knowing who is engaging with your Profile can help you make decisions about where to hang out, what Groups to join, and other things you might want to share with your audience.
Watch Realtime Activity Flow To Your Profile
Google's realtime reports allow you to sit back and watch activity happening on your content right this second.
View Traffic Stats For Your Content
Google Analytics allows you to dive into traffic stats for deviations, Journals, Galleries, Collections, and other areas of your Profile Page. See which deviations are the most popular today and find out where that traffic is coming from.
Track and Analyze Your Watches and Favourites
Our Google Analytics integration tracks when someone watches or adds your artwork to their favourites, allowing you to view charts and statistics of these events. How many favourites did Reddit traffic give you this week? How many new watchers did you gain last weekend after submitting your newest deviation? Did you gain more watchers this month or last month?
Favourites and Watches are available under Google Analytics' "Events" reports.
...And A Ton Of Other Reports
Here's just a sample of some of the stats you can see:
- Traffic charts, graphs, and statistics by date
- Traffic demographics (geographic locations, languages...)
- Visitor stats (new visitors, returning visitors, time spent on pages, number of pages viewed, bounce rates...)
- Top sites and social networks sending you traffic and, for some social networks, the individual posts that are linking to your content
- Search engine keywords people are using to find your Profile Page and content
Measure How Your Activity Impacts Your Audience Growth
Google Analytics can help you make decisions on how you manage your deviations. It can also allow you to see the impact of your on site activities.
- If you find that your audience is more active on certain days or times, you’ll be able to determine a schedule for posting new art or Journals.
- Perhaps you’ll find that the more you comment, the more you see your pageviews and watch list jump.
- If commenting, and critiquing others’ artwork for example, helps increase the level of activity on your Profile, perhaps you’ll decide to do this more frequently.

I think generally the rule in life is that if you need something badly enough you can usually find the money for it.
Unless of course you are living in a third world country where the 30 or so dollars for a 1 year premium membership represents 2 or 3 months wages, but if that was case you'd probably be worrying more about how you were going to buy your next meal.
I'm premium member by the way. I've tried this GA thing out and to be honest it ain't that great. I wouldn't worry too much about not having it.

Love this! I get considerably more (and more consistent) traffic on dA than on my much younger website (which I've been tracking using Google Analytics for roughly a year or more now), so it'll be interesting to compare them over time, not to mention see how people are moving around my profile and art here and where they come from and all that.

Don't know if someone talked abut it, but why not permit Piwik integration, from an hoster or your own one ? I like to be able to choose how I want it to be done.

Integration is really hard and also we need to offer help desk support for whatever we offer so we chose to go with the most popular analytics option to cover the needs of the majority of deviantART users.

I agree with the previous commentors.
It is simply strange/illogical to make such a feature paying while it is free in many many other websites.
You could at least present a more simplistic version with lower features to the Non-prenium members, who by the way represent a much higher % of this community.

Non-premium members may see their daily pageviews and Summary of Gallery Stats. That's the more simplistic version.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I find this creepy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
almost 70% of the 10000 most popular internet websites uses this tool. So honestly, your internet activity was tracked for years now. Getting paranoid about it now is kinda late.

It never felt so public I guess. I still find this creepy and some of the details just unnecessary
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Which details? The most personal thing about the tool like GA may present to it's users is the city you come from and the type of device you use. As long as you are not living in a place with population 1 or you are not the only person in your country who uses iphone, you are just a random dot on the map.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why would they need to know that anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, generally analytic tools are made to help users optimize their websites to meet audience's expectations. Thanks to tools like GA websites may prepare their content to get the biggest profit from whatever they have to offer. If you would discover that 90% of your traffic is redirected to your page from your tumblr and very rarely from your facebook for example, it may give you the idea to focus on your tumblr, since it's the most profitable. Or try to make some changes with your facebook to increase your audience there. For big websites it is really important to have an insight to information like this and even for personal, small businesses it may be pretty much helpful in preparing their content.

No it doesn't - it's the first step of internet imperialist Google towards colonising deviantART! If ever there was a reason not to get premium, Google Analytics now gave one.

meh, idk
I do still hate that Google changed Youtube's layout and stuff. Hell, I can't even reply to any comments unless they're the top comments, and using + or @ with the username hardly works at all!

Luckily there is something like "NoScript" for Firefox users and so the googleanalytics script is blocked.
I bet there is something like that also for Chrome and so on...
Well, maybe it would be funny to be able to watch all the others watching your account

Yes but not as funny as the others watching you watch all the others watching your account which is being watched by the NSA

It's a pity that this feature is only available to premium members... Although this should be given free, can't the DA staff let non-premium members have half of the features as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
your daily pageviews and summary of gallery stats is a simplified version of this tool and is available for everyone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
this, of all things, should be a free feature. I don't see why members who don't have a premium membership can't have a feature informing them of their pageviews and what deviations of theirs people are looking at. This is a helpful tool that could allow people to better themselves as artists, getting a view on what the people want and seem to like, of theirs. Should definitely be free.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's bullcrap, as well as completely unfair to people who, say, don't have the extra money just to get a premium account for this.
It's a free feature everywhere else, it should simply stay free.
