Abstract

Methods and apparatus for presenting a visualization of content and analytics data for content accessed from one or more devices, where the visualization includes a display of the content as it would appear on a given device. In some cases, an analytics visualization tool displays the content overlaid with analytics data specific to a device and to the content. Additionally, the analytics visualization tool may request a content page from a content server, where the request includes an indication of being a particular device, and in response, a content page is received formatted according to the particular device. The analytics visualization tool may then display the received content page along with analytics data that has been segmented according to the device and according to the content page.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

receiving a selection of a content page;

receiving a selection of a device from among a plurality of devices; and

displaying at least a portion of a version of the content page along with one or more elements of segmented analytics data associated with the at least a portion of the version of the content page by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the version of the content page on the selected device, the version of the content page being based on the selected device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying comprises overlaying the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data onto corresponding links displayed within the at least a portion of the content page.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

displaying, within a visually distinct area of an overlay, one or more elements of the segmented analytics data corresponding to one or more devices other than the selected device; and

displaying at least a portion of another version of the content page along with the one or more elements of segmented analytics data corresponding to the one or more devices by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the another version of the content page on the one or more devices, the another version of the content page being based on the one or more devices.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data based at least in part on segmenting analytics data according to the;

content page; and

selected device.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

prior to receiving the selection of the device, providing a list of one or more devices within a user interface,

wherein the selected device is from among the list of the one or more devices.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a selection of another device from among the plurality of devices; and

displaying at least a portion of the content page in a separate area along with one or more elements of the segmented analytics data associated with the at least a portion of the version of the content page by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the content page on the another device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining the selection of the device based at least in part on devices identified as having previously accessed the content page and ranking data from among segmented analytics data for the plurality of devices.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein determining the selection of the device is based at least in part on an element of the segmented analytics data corresponding to the device other than ranking data.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computer, cause the the computer to perform operations comprising:

receiving a selection of a content page;

receiving a selection of a device from among a plurality of devices;

displaying at least a portion of a version of the content page along with one or more elements of segmented analytics data associated with the at least a portion of the version of the content page by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the version of the content page on the selected device, the version of the content page being based on the selected device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein the displaying comprises overlaying the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data onto corresponding links displayed within the at least a portion of the content page.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

displaying, within a visually distinct area of an overlay, one or more elements of the segmented analytics data corresponding to one or more devices other than the selected device; and

displaying at least a portion of another version of the content page along with the one or more elements of segmented analytics data corresponding to the one or more devices by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the another version of the content page on the one or more devices, the another version of the content page being based on the one or more devices.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

determining the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data based at least in part on segmenting analytics data according to the;

content page; and

selected device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

prior to receiving the selection of the device, providing a list of one or more devices within a user interface,

wherein the selected device is from among the list of the one or more devices.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

receiving a selection of another device from among the plurality of devices; and

displaying at least a portion of the content page in a separate area along with one or more elements of the segmented analytics data associated with the at least a portion of the version of the content page by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the content page on the other device.

15. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

receive a selection of a content page;

receive a selection of a device from among a plurality of devices; and

display at least a portion of a version of the content page along with one or more elements of segmented analytics data associated with the at least a portion of the version of the content page by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the version of the content page on the selected device, and the version of the content page being based on the selected device.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data are overlaid onto corresponding links displayed within the at least a portion of the content page.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display, within a visually distinct area of an overlay, one or more elements of the segmented analytics data corresponding to one or more devices other than the selected device; and

display at least a portion of another version of the content page along with the one or more elements of segmented analytics data corresponding to the one or more devices by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the another version of the content page on the one or more devices, the another version of the content page being based on the one or more devices.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

determine the one or more elements of the segmented analytics data based at least in part on segmenting analytics data according to the;

content page; and

selected device.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

prior to receiving a selection of a device, provide a list of one or more devices within a user interface,

wherein the selected device is from among the list of the one or more devices.

20. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a selection of another device from among the plurality of devices; and

display at least a portion of the content page in a separate area along with one or more elements of the segmented analytics data by simulating a rendering of the at least a portion of the content page on the other device.
