All other enterprise analytics tool were offering this, but now Google is giving it free. You can dissect data much easier (segmentation was possible even before in GA, with custom filters and profiles as you mentioned, but now it is much easier). I am planning to create a series for segments idea. The first segment we have described on <a href="http://www.pitstopmedia.com/sem/google-analytics-advanced-segmentation-ideas" rel="nofollow">Google Analytics Segmentation</a> page is called <strong>keywords with conversions</strong>. Please have a look. Feel free to visit our blog and if you have any ideas on what segments could be useful, leave a comment and we will try to write a post on that one. Hi Justin,

To unset a custom segment you need to delete the _utmv cookie. This can be done with some server level code or with some custom JavaScript. Thanks for the question, Justin Hi Rasmus,

What you can do is use the in-report filter to filter your results. Or you could create profile filters based on the custom segment value. So, if you had a custom segment that looked like this: male:18-35 and you wanted a profile based on that information, you r profile filter would be an include filter with the regular expression 18-35. Hope That helps, Justin Hi Moshe,

I *knew* there had to be a way to pass more info to Urchin/GA, but I was having troubles finding the technique until I found your site in a google search. For me, I'm tracking an application with its own authentication system (NOT HTTP auth) and I'd like to be able to segment based on user id. This seems like just the thing.
