Abstract
A method and system for aggregating analytics data is discussed. The system differentiates between analytics data that is context sensitive and therefore cannot be reliably updated incrementally (e.g., unique page views, time on site, etc.) and analytics data that is not context sensitive. The system aggregates the context insensitive metrics and dimensions incrementally, while aggregating the context sensitive metrics and dimensions after a specified time duration, such as at the end of the day. It is estimated that less than 10% of all metrics and dimensions are context sensitive. In this way, the aggregator serveris able to improve the freshness of more than 90% of the analytics data (represented by the context insensitive metrics and dimensions) to a shorter period of time than the prior art. Further, this reduces the possibility of over-counting metrics.
