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.

Mixed feelings about this..On the one hand, this is a really cool feature and one I would like were it not powered by google (I don't want to sign up for yet another google account I don't want just to use one feature on a site I do care about). On the other hand, this seems to be bordering on privacy violation..quite shady/big brother-esque. Sure it's not taking names or IP addresses and giving them to you, but as that's something google does (when you use it's search engine) it's not hard to believe they might take that & keep that for themselves. That bit about getting percentages on visits per country is a bit unnecesary (usefull for determining where your fanbase lies but still bordering on privacy violation).

In short, this seems like another way to get people who don't use google to start using google and to get info on people who don't use google. Also, if Google has a deal with DA to do this I would guess they're testing the waters to see just how popular this website is and if they should buy it.

They are a hated company that promised "do no evil" to be on the side of the individual against the mega-corporate, only to turn poacher themselves.  I have ditched Android for Sailfish, my blogs are now on my personal domain, my videos are now on Vimeo and DailyMotion and ... then Deviant Art has to go and do THIS!!!!

No, not buying. But if that insight thing works, there will be probably another gadget, soo, and another and so on, until dA will start looking like google/youtube.
I´ve been on YT for 7 years, and saw the "good old times". I watched it change.
The worries, that google will start to interfere in a bad way, are based on personal experiences from most of the people, that are commenting here. So it´s not just paranoia.
