Regarding the sub-content groups being available only in tags and not in the UI --- I agree. Let's both put in feature requests and maybe it will resurface there as a possible improvement. As I think about what we would be able to do if we had more flexibility with sub content groups, I get more convinced that it would be really really useful. You could do things that you couldn't possibly do with drilldowns. You'd have the equivalent of three-dimension custom reports!

I wanted to thank you for the idea of using Content Groups as KPI measures. It simulates the "Goal" functionality in Google Analytics quite well in this regard -- which answers a big question for my stakeholders who love that aspect of GA. Thanks! BTW – great post.

Answer is no. Not in WebTrends. Would you want "total time in the content group, even if the visitor jumped around" or "time in the content group each time the visitor touched that content group"? For the former, we have a solution but it involves a preprocessing script that we have been working on for quite some time. This is one of the many things that script does. If you are interested in being on the mailing list for that script, when and if we're able to release it, please email or twitter us. It will be free. Good question. Answer is no. Not in WebTrends.

Would it be possible to report "Duration of Visit" per content group? This is great stuff!

Would it be possible to report “Duration of Visit” per content group?
