I like Google Analytics, very useful when running a Google Adwords accounts. I have a Google Adwords RSS feed on my website, as it is the best way to keep up to date with all the news and developments for Adwords. I think I need to do the same for Analytics. Just need to find the Analytics RSS feed!

google analytics has become the industry standard analytics too for many webmasters – being that it’s free makes it valuable and we couldn’t do without it..

It does everything you’d expect. It’s solid

thanks Google!

Google Analytics is brilliant! Always looking to get new clients to use it in order to understand their site usage.

Google Analytics is just great and I’ve been using it for 3 years now. Its my propriety software for all my small to medium sites. But for advanced tracking I use opentracker.

I’ve been using Google Analytics for a while on my own site and am a bit suspicious about the data accuracy so I’ve set up Clicky on it to compare data. Clicky looks a lot more friendly for non techy clients too.

Matt,

Is there any way that I can access specific analytics data through php? I just want to grab some simple statistics from my clients data so I can present it simplified to my customers. Simple as in: month x the site had xxxx visitors.

Hey Matt,

Today I noticed that Google’s Analytics tracking CODE was WRONG…it’s missing the little right-pointing arrow/carot at the end of a javascript string used to mark the end of the line (how does a programmer with a sweet job at Google mess up something so simple…). This problem caused me to waste the whole weekend for a client site after installing the WRONG code on Thursday and thinking it would be all full of juicy data by Monday.

The code they are using (the new tracker code version) is :

var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-986914-4″);
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

But it SHOULD read:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-986914-4″);
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

Just thought I would pass this info along.
