Anyone else seen this feature. It's VERY useful for comparing your site to other sites in your category. My site sucks as far as pages per visitor and Average time on site :(

i've found i'm way off too. i don't know how accurate it is, because i have no idea who else is contributing... and moreover, how they classify my site as compared to other sites.

I can't locate the enabling link:

In order to do this, select the option to share your Analytics data "Anonymously with Google and the benchmarking service" from the Edit Account and Data Sharing Settings page. To get to this page, click the link that says "Edit Account and Data Sharing Settings" from the Analytics Settings page (the first page you see after logging into your Google Analytics account).

on topic, i find it odd that since i've added the new tracking for member and guest visits, my bounce ratio has pretty much gone from 70% to 1%.

I think having 'guest' as a metric is screwing things up

Something is messed up with our account, i.e. confusion between accounts and profiles. I can't get to the settings page for our main account.

well, i took out the 'guest' metric about noon today, and already my bouce rate is back heading to where it should be.

So, i guess analytics is a little flawed in the way they track their metrics.
