FAQ: How do I learn #GA4 without a website and analytics data?

You can learn about Google Analytics 4 without having your own website.

Use the following websites for learning #GA4: Image
1) Google Merchandise Store (shop .googlemerchandisestore .com) - It is an ecommerce website owned by Google.

This website sells Google-branded merchandise (apparel, bags, drinkware, stationery etc.).

2) Google' Flood-it' mobile app - It is a mobile gaming app from Google.
You can use the Flood it mobile gaming app to learn about Google Analytics 4 mobile app tracking setup and reports.

Google provide the analytics data on these websites via the Google Analytics demo account.
The Google Analytics demo account is a fully functional Google Analytics account that is provided by Google to the public, free of charge.

Your GA4 account may not have all of the required data at the moment.
But the Google Analytics demo account already has all of the required data.

Use this demo account as a learning tool to see what the various reports in GA4 look like when populated with data.

You can also see ecommerce data in this account.
The Google Analytics demo account is made up of the following three properties:
UA – Google Merchandise Store
GA4 – Google Merchandise Store
GA4 – Flood-it!

The 'UA – Google Merchandise Store' property contains GA3 data.
The 'GA-4 Google Merchandise Store' property contains data from the Google Merchandise Store.

The GA-4 Flood-It!' property contains data from Google 'Flood-it' mobile app.

Have a play with these GA properties. Click on the different tabs and links. Check out various reports.
Get a feel of the user interface, and do not worry about breaking anything. You cannot break anything in the GA4 demo account.

To learn #GA4 better than most, compare it with GA3 (universal analytics).

Many gurus will tell you that you should not compare GA4 data with GA3 data because both use different data models. I don't.

It is, in fact, a good practice to do such comparisons.
Following are the main benefits of comparing GA3 and GA4 data:

Pro Tip >> Here is how to become a #regex (regular expressions) power user overnight...

Regular expressions (also called regex) are used to check for a pattern in a string.

For example ^Colou?r$ is a regular expression that matches both the string: 'color' and 'colour'. Image
Regex comes in many flavours based on the type of syntax being used. These flavours are called the regex engine.

The most popular regex engines are PCRE (PHP), JavaScript, Python and Golang.
Different regex engines support different types of syntax, and the meaning of metacharacters may change depending on the regex engine being used.

Thus, a regular expression considered valid under one regex engine may not be considered valid under another.
