One alternative to building out profiles for campaigns and mediums is to use the new Advanced Segmentation feature in GA. The only downside is: 1. GA will sample the data if there are more than 200k visits in the reporting period 2. Not all reports can be segmented with an advanced segment (funnel, absolute unique visitors, etc.) We primarily use profile based segmentaiton for two things: controlling data access and segmenting the reports that can't be segmented. In all other cases we use advanced segments. Best, Justin Great article Brad. One alternative to building out profiles for campaigns and mediums is to use the new Advanced Segmentation feature in GA.
