I've heard that you can share your advanced segments or custom reports' templates. Can anyone explain to me ho do I do this within Google Analytics Custom reports section?
I've heard that it is possible to create a link, that when I publicly post it, the person who clicks the link, will get my segment imported into his/hers Google Analytics account directly, without any further steps.
But I don't want my website data to be shared, just the template itself.
Help please.

Advanced segments sharing is very simple, and it take just a few steps to create. In order for the other side to import advanced segments and custom reports, they have to be logged in to their Google Analytics account.
In the "Manage Advanced Segments" or "Manage custom Reports" section in GA, you can see a table that lists all of your segments.
on the right side you can see an "Action" column. In there you can find a "Share" link. By clicking on the "Share" link, Google Analytics will provide you with a link, in which you can use to put anywhere you want the custom report or advanced segment to be published an shared.
This is very simple to do, and you can share you custom reports/Advanced segments, no private data will be exported.
You can find further information and screenshots here.
Hope that helps.

I've read an article about "5 things you should know about Google Analytics", and it seems that Google is on the right track with their new and updated features. In the article the author mentioned: New engagement tools, Mobile reporting, the Analytics Intelligence new feature, custom alerts and multiple custom variables. Those announcements are great news, which will certainly help marketers and businesses get better insight, increase ROI of their online marketing campaigns and make further separation/segmentation between the data that is the most important for a business and the one that is less important.
Every web analytics solution today, needs to deploy new tools for tracking mobile site versions. Today we can see more and more websites going mobile, by offering a second mobile version of their website at the same domain, on another domain or using a sub-domain like "m.domain". I am sure that Google will give more emphasize on mobile devices analytical features in the future.

There are millions rationales why people choose one web stats' software over another, but for most people (not corporate or large business scale), Google Analytics will provide you with the best insight of your website. Of course in order to take benefit of advanced segments, custom reports, annotations, setting goals and make A/B and Multivariate testing, you should be reading more tutorials and even watch webinars online or YouTube videos. Until you get a grasp on all the new aspects in Google Analytics.
It takes practice, until you get the hang of it, but believe me that after 1 month, you will be the king of the class in everything related to Google Analytics. Professional web analytics consultants have a lot of knowledge about Internet Marketing as a whole and not just data analysis software. Google Analytics is just a tool, and you need to understand what the numbers mean, follow visitor behavior and make a conclusion upon your wish to change your marketing strategies.
If you don't give yourself to learn more, you will stay at the back at the end. Knowledge is everything on the Internet. If you have tough competition, analyzing Google Analytics tracking code' data, will surly help your business optimization strategies and help you learn more BI skills.
