MVI Live Stats was opened replacing the older mviSPY format. This new platform will use different tracking scripts and improved SAAS functionality. The beta version was tested in November December and pushed live December 16, 2009. The new platform has multiple new features in custom reports, Live Chat, and analytics functionality. This is final step in the initial development of MVI Live Stats that begun in early 2008.

Pay Per Click (PPC) Visit Tracking
mviSPY now allows you to easily identify and track your visitors who were referred by Pay Per Click (PPC) Google advertisements. This improves your ability to determine which of your PPC campaigns are the most effective. The PPC traffic is detailed on the "Charts" navigation item titled "PPC Entry Pages". The PPC data will also be displayed in the "PPC Visit" column on "All Visits" and further filtering is available in the "Custom Reports" section.

Pages Viewed Chart
A new chart has been added to the "Charts" section named "Pages Viewed". This will allow you to quickly determine which of your pages are the most popular. This new chart shows which pages on your site are the most viewed pages regardless of whether or not they were entry, exit, trail pages and bounced pages.

New Website
We are proud to announce the new release of our website http://www.mvispy.com. In addition to our fresh, new look, we have also provided extensive information about the power and flexibility of mviSPY. The new website look and layout was triggered by your feedback and has been optimized to improve ease of use. Our new dynamic navigation will guide you to important information while providing a trail of where you were on the site. Our new "Related Links" are a quick reference to the most commonly used features.

Developers API Documentation
The new Developer API section provides documentation along with code samples and examples of programming. The API will enable site owners and developers to incorporate mviSPY statistics into any website or enterprise application.

Flash Tracking Documentation
This documentation provides detailed explanation of "How to Enable Flash Tracking For mviSPY". This feature has always been available but the documentation has been updated.

Improved Dashboard Navigation
The mviSPY dashboard has been enhanced with our new navigation system. Now, no matter where you are within the dashboard, you can access any of the other dashboard features right from the left menu.

mviSPY is proud to announce the launch of our developer API. With it, developers can utilize all of the power of mviSPY within their sites. The initial API will allow developers to:

Criteria Match - our latest Event Trigger provides our users with the ability to create a trigger based on custom criteria that they enter. Imagine being notified immediately when someone who comes to your site is in the same zip code. Or imagine that there is a company that you are trying to do business with and you want to know when they come and visit your site. These are but just a few of the capabilities of the new Criteria Match Event Trigger. You can create criteria-based triggers based on any of the following options:

New Menu Navigation - our new menuing system allows you easier access to all available features in mviSPY. Click the arrows next to the new expandable menu items to see lists of the different analytics reports available.

Smart Site Switch - for mviSPY customers with multiple sites, you can now easily switch between sites via the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. When you select a different site to switch to, mviSPY remembers the section you were in and automatically takes you to that same location on the site you are switching to.

Live Chat Sessions - for mviSPY users who utilize Live Chat, you can now view the history of those live chat conversations. Simply click on the Live Chat link in the navigation and then click the Chat Sessions icon. From there, enter the date range you want to view the chat conversations from and hit 'Set'. A drop-down will allow you to choose the chat session based on the date/time and operator who had the conversation.

IP Address Filtering - located in Site Settings, the IP Address Filter allows you to "filter out" IP addresses that you don't want to include in your reports. This is a great way to remove yourself from the reports to get a better handle on the "real" visitors who are interacting with your site. When managing Custom Reports, the IP Filter can be enabled or disabled to give you greater control over your data.

Browsers and Operating Systems - new analytics charts have been added that now allow you to see the top browsers and operating systems that your visitors are using when visiting your site. This can help you decide which browsers and operating systems your site should support in order for you to maximize the effectiveness of your site.

New pricing structure and billing system - our new billing system has been integrated to cover new products and services.

New Customer Admin Area - mviSPY improved the admin section to allow for ease of use of mviSPY's website analytics. These new graphics and programming changes will go into effect in the 1st quarter of 2009. The primary purpose of the new admin area is to simplify the customer's use of the website analytics.

Pro Active Live Chat - Pro Active Live Chat was released in a Beta Version In December 2008. Final release for use was January 5, 2009. The Live Chat system has 4 more upgrades proposed for the 1st quarter of 2009.

Event Triggers & Insertion - Event Trigger tracking was released in a Beta version in the 4th quarter of 2008. Insertion of event trigger data directly into MVI SLM (Sales Lead Manager) was made available November 2008. Upgrades to the system to expand the different types of available event triggers wer offered in December 2008. The full event trigger system went into Beta in December 2008 and was offered to subscribers in January 2009. Additional upgrades are in development and will be released in 1st quarter of 2009.

mviSPY was placed into Beta 1.4 testing phase and will remain in Beta Testing mode for the 4th quarter of 2008. The site was released to the general public on October 17, 2008 limited to 500 sites and 5 million page views per site. During this Beta test phase, the software will included 14 new features. Several new features introduced were 3rd party event trigger insertions, MVISLM, reports upgrades, speed improvements, the ability to have sub-accounts, reseller programs, new chart technology, new display features and new correlation displays and 27 new features previously not released.

mviSPY was released as a limited version to test its operation. This Alpha test was conducted under normal Internet operating conditions for a minimum of 20 sites and 1 million page views per site. The system operations were tested in this release and included collection, display, accuracy, format, speed, dispersal, programming and usability.
