Our commentary: I was recently asking Matt Trimmer of iVantage who runs regular Google-sponsored Seminars for Success which are Google Analytics training courses a technical question about Google Analytics for a situation I hadn't seen before. In this answer he referred me to this slide deck he has shared from Seminars Success he runs for Google. Wow! I thought that could be helpful for all sorts of levels of folks using Google Analytics. So I asked him whether I could share it with you and here we are.
Marketing implications: The deck featured above is worth reviewing if you want to brief yourself about more Advanced Techniques that aren't in the standard Google Analytics IQ training.
If you're just about to setup Google Analytics for the first time you may find the 101 and 201 slide decks which are also available from the link below useful.
On my courses I recommend marketers use the more visual Google Conversion University Guides which is a much better way to learn than through the Online Help in my opinion. It's good for common situations, but Matt's guides above cover the less common situations.
