Google analytics real time, red circles on map?

Dont know if this is the right forum but for anyone who uses analytics real time you see users on the map marked with orange circles. Ive a few times seen circles go red, does anyone know what this means?

I cant seem to find any info on this...

Hey roughycannon,

I'm a web designer/master- however I do not use Google Analytics currently.

Was this what you were talking about though?

Best of all - you get the aforementioned "Top Locations" map with glowing red circles showing where your visitors are coming from - making you feel like the cold war SEO dictator pushing his keyword tanks about with a little wooden rake

Haha, me too. The portion after the second hyphen was without a doubt, required.

No thats the standard orange ones, this one was pure red i've seen it a few times, I'll screenshot it next time, I was wondering if it was an error something.

I believe that is just when multiple people visit from one city the darker areas are always heavier traffic. I haven't been on GA in a year but it is just an intuitive way to look at it. Darker colors heavier, just like word clouds etc...

You need more circles and you need more dark circles ;-) Anyone that wants free SEO advice give me a holler.

No its a pure red 255,0,0 RGB color not an overlapping circle, I've only seen it about 10 times since google introduced real time but I can't find any info on what it actually means.

Its not an overlapping circle it pure RED and stands out, I've been using real time for nearly 2 years and have never found out what this actually means, doing my head in!

I posted on the google product forums to see if I can get any answers there...
