Updates to RSS, Spy, and more

Few updates for you. IP tagging and custom data tracking have been fully integrated into both the visitors RSS feed, as well as Spy. This feature now feels much more complete. IP filters have also been integrated into Spy, so anyone you are filtering should stop showing up in there as well.

We've also added a percentage column next to the value column when viewing your "popular" data (searches, links, etc). The percentage shown is calculated from ALL of the data for that day, not just what's shown (the top 50). Screenshot. I know, I know, this seems obvious and is about as exciting as Google's announcement today that their Analytics service now makes URLs for your site into clickable links. Whoopee! I know. What can I say? :) Just happy to finally have it in the service. It does give you a much better picture of how popular a given item is. This will be even more true once aggregate data is complete.

Speaking of which....aggregate data is in progress. I don't think it will be ready by the end of this week though. Maybe this weekend, but probably Monday or Tuesday. I am a very thorough tester, so I'm taking my time making sure it's rock solid. It's going to be a great addition to the service. Perhaps another one of those "gee, about time" features, but again, what can I say. Just know that it's coming, and you'll love it.

Those are great news, getting the "big picture" compared on granular data is awesome, useful and a tremendous added value!!

Super that the IP filters now also have also been integrated into Spy :-D However, with the filter now active in Spy-view, apparently this also means the list can be shorter in certain cases: Filtered items are removed, but no new ones are added. So if I am filtering my IP and doing the last 10 visitor actions myself, then the # of items on the Spy list is 0. Maybe you can have new items be added to complete the list upto 10 items again?

Huh.... that shouldn't be happening. The clicks are filtered out before it "builds" the list of 10 clicks to send your way. If all the new clicks are filtered then the 10 clicks before that should be shown. Unless..... hey I bet you went to your site and did a bunch of clicks and THEN loaded Spy? If that's what you did.... then your symptoms make sense. When you first load spy, your spy "file" is trimmed down to the last 10 clicks, so it's not huge. But if all the last clicks are from you, then yes, I believe it would show nothing. I'll change it so it doesn't filter down the list so much. Let me know if that solves your problem.
