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 agree with all the other commenters. This isn't very fair now,is it? Making Deviants pay for services which are free on other sites. Guys,this is one of the reasons that people leave this site. A lot.
To PM Members,sure,this is fine. And of course,the people behind the site themselves have to make money. But don't you see the Ads? I'm pretty sure that we have more Non-PM Members than PM Members,so those Ads are making tons of money. Plus,do not forget the fact that people still buy Prints and such. That's making money too.
So what about us,Non-PM Members? I would love to be able to access this feature so I could do better,but guess what? PM Members only. What? Is DA like Singapore? Only the best educated get the best,that's what it's like in Singapore for me. So only the PM Members get the best? No. That's just unfair.
Have you ever thought about the Non-PM Members? Some of us have financial problems,some of us can't afford it at all,hell,maybe some of us don't have a credit card. So isn't that just unfair? "Earn points," you say. Okay then. The average of points I get each year is about 100. How many years do you think it'll take for me to get a freaking PM?
Yes,I've always thought that people with PMs had great art. Notice the past tense? That was in the past. I've realized that not every single person who has a PM has great art,there are those without PMs who do better than those with PMs. So isn't this a little unfair?
Now,I'm not bashing PM Members at all,okay? I'm just stating my opinion for this new little feature that...only the PM Members get.

Actually, I don't think this is the reason that lots of people are leaving this site. Maybe a few, but not that many.
Most people I know who have left this site have done so because its role as a communal gathering place for artists has been undermined by DA's attempts to turn it into a social networking site, without bothering to upgrade their infrastructure accordingly. And also because DA seems to be more interested in its generic social networkers than its artists. Usually they summarise it when they leave with a comment along the lines of 'this isn't the place I used to love'.
I've been here for 7 years, premium member for most of the time, even now when I have no job, recovering from a serious illness, have no income and can't really afford the payment.
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 the case you'd probably be worrying more about how you were going to buy your next meal. I don't think it applies to either of us.
And you are quite right. Being a Premium member does not necessarily mean that your art is better than someone else's. I don't consider my art to be that great. But I don't quite see why that makes it unfair that I should have a service that I have paid for and someone else shouldn't have the service that they haven't paid for.
Sorry if that sounds a little harsh, but this prevailing notion nowadays that everything should be free is a bit of a nonsense. I live in a country with a really good welfare system and even here, if you pay, you expect to get more. You can't expect any more than that from a commercial organisation, which is what DA is.
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.

Well, that's not a difficult question; it's because Google is greedy as hell. The internet and cyberspace in general are like the "New World" of the 21st century. There are no more lands to conquer in the real world, no huge profits to be made by establishing vast empires. The new empires are those of multinationals and gigantic corporations, not nation states. And what better place to build an empire than this "New World" of cyberspace? Google is like the Spanish Empire, making a run to colonise as much as possible as fast as possible.

Well, I guess we can only hope that google will change the way they are doing things right now, or we could just fight against them but that might be overdoing it, I dunno, never tried to go against google before :I
Just the whole thing about youtube beginnig to get weird is kinda 'pissin' me off. But if they really get dA too? I swear I will take a pencil to my heart and die on my floor, cause I hate when people mess with art sites >:I

Well Google has become what they call an "internet giant"... I don't know, I think it's just inherent to people with power and influence that they become greedy and corrupt. Doesn't really matter if they are CEO of a huge company or president of a country, it's this power hunger that is the common element everywhere. Google secured a position of power in cyberspace, and now they're seriously using it to gain more and more :/
dA might be an interesting target for Google too... You know, all the icons in the "share"-thing (twitter, tumblr, dA, facebook, youtube, pinterest, reddit, etc), they probably made it a goal to take over as many as possible.
Sounds like a very painful way to die... seppuku with a pencil, that's pretty hardcore

Google has changed so much. From an intelligent and quick search engine to a world monster. With one click Google+ is grabbing all your photos! With one click all your contacts etc. If they combine all your data (BIGDATA) they know more about you then you yourself. And they are open by US-Law to CIA and NSA. So all you said is most probably more than true!!!! Any privacy is finished from now on. There is no end of this in sight. I think of all the people who are innocent in prisons everywhere because of data miss interpreting...

Glad to know there are people who think the same...
And you're right, there is no stopping this. Freedom is a mere illusion. It's like scientific observation. You know, we live in a certain environment with certain circumstances and with certain basic ideas and beliefs (cf. we are living in a free country). The whole environment is being monitored, recorded and surveilled by an elite class which stands above "the masses", but we don't know it (and if we do, we don't know who/what is being monitored and to what extent). And the whole surveillance machinery influences the environment greatly but in such a way that we don't (want to) notice it. That's the kind of world we are creating in the "freedom-loving West, which is so much better than authoritarian Russia and China")...
This scenario bears a striking resemblance to Orwell's 1984, come to think of it.

No one is forcing you to get premium guys. To be honest, I really don't care for this program myself, but other might. Just like free online multiplier games, DA has a premium side(PlayStation plus, Club Penguin, and many many more), it's their main source of in-come, and like other sights, they have to have some sort of boost to being a payed member(to tell the truth, I could care less about being a premium member here, i see no use in it really. Special offers, no money anyway). Sure it's free elsewhere, but most of the world's modern artists post here, and it is more convenient than most others(well known, easy to use).
Anyway: I think there's a justified reason for it to be just for paying users, and it is completely up to the admins to decide what happens.
(trust me... it was much more clear and well thought out in my head(IDK what happened between my brain and my hands))

NOT A HATE COMMENT IETHER
I dont know of any other sites that use this for free but I dont understand. Doesnt google make millions without making people pay for this? I know that people that work at Google can make 90 something dollars an hour. So why make us pay for this? I think its a great idea but cant it be free? My parents are having a struggle with money so I cant get it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Google aren't making you pay for it.
You pay for it by buying a DA Premium membership, if you want to. DA gets the money if you decide that you want a Premium membership, not Google.
DA probably has to pay Google if their use of the service exceeds a certain level.

Not everyone owns a credit card, or can make money.. Because a lot of people who have points or stuff won't help others.. Also I can do this on plenty of other websites for free I realize you need to make money, but what about the people who cant get money.... I mean a lot of people haven't even gotten prim. Because it costs... Including me... I can't waste cash I'm in a financial problem with my family.. So I'm just using what I can get..

THIS IS NOT A HATE COMMENT.
No offence, but this is why people are leaving DeviantART. Other sites such as Etsy and Tumblr offer all of this for free. Google Analytics is free, but DeviantART is only offering it to people who PAY.
Maybe next time there should be something for the everyday artist to help grow. Maybe that artist could find more views if his/her profile looks more professional with this stuff. I'm not saying this as a hate comment. I don't really care if I have a premium or not. If I'm going to get pageviews, I want to get them without the help of a paid membership just like the other deviants that can't afford one.
People always think that people with premium memberships are better artists. Their art may not be all that great, but they will get more views if they have a premium membership. Why? The star thing appears next to their name whenever the user comments, and people think, "Oh, lets go check out their art! They have a premium membership, so they are active and have something good!"
Putting it that way, many see the star as a form off differentiating other deviants in the form of their money. I see the star as a way to put it as "This deviant is poor." "This deviant has money." I'm not saying it about every deviant, but in some cases it's true. It just alerts people who-has- what-case. I'm all for the little sign that says "I'm a DeviantART staff member." That tells Deviants who to go to for help or where to go for updates.
In my opinion, the big bold stars next to the names need to go... They're just a big bold sign that this deviant is able to have a premium membership. When browsing through the comments of really popular deviation, the first thing people see are the star that sits next to the icon. Then they can see that 'This deviant might be popular!' and they click to see just how many watchers/pageviews that deviant has. They might click 'Watch' and go elsewhere in a search.
I don't have a premium membership, and I don't really plan on buying one. I want to earn my views not by a star, but by people who really want to check out my profile by the deviantions on the front page, or a feature from a friend. Not by a star.
Next time, maybe make something for the free deviants. It might help DeviantART's population.

What if I don't have extra money for premium?...On Etsy website, for example, they offer the same thing for free. And I can freely sell prints or photos. If you want to get some money, why don't you include fees into selling price for the prints and so one?

I think the general rule is that if you don't have extra money for something, you can't have it.
If they ever dish out free holidays, Iphones and expensive sports cars I'll be first in the queue, but until they do I guess I'll have to do without.
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.

I'm not sure what to think of this ... I suppose it would be good for the people who focus on commissions and making money from their work. Then you would know how to communicate better with your specific audience and adjust your advertising accordingly.
...
But for me, someone who draws cats with giant eyes and shit for the hell of it, not much use! So like I said, not sure what to think.
