Analytics Time Zone

Ciao everyone,

Very simple question. In Google Analytics, for the traffic by hour of day stats, I am assuming the hours reflect the time zone I'm in (currently GMT) ? Is this correct?

Thanks!

That isn't necessarily correct right now. They're working on allowing that change, but it's currently defaulted to PST with some exceptions. Your simple question is tough to answer decisively at the moment.

If your Analytics account is linked to a Google AdWords account, your time zone will be automatically set to your AdWords preference. This is to ensure accurate reporting on your AdWords campaigns. The ability to set time zones in AdWords is not yet universal, but will be available in all accounts in the near future.

Thanks for that...just have to wait then and assume that our charts are showing traffic by hour stats on PST...
