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.

Nice one Mark. i’ve been using a direct link to the ssl js @ https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js but I’ll try this one for some other sites. Thanks!

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.

The analytics software is great because it gives information for the average person plus the detailed information for the more inclined. I particularly like the site overlay feature.

First, you claim that Google will have a high-integrity policy regarding data and privacy.I’d like to see Google using their position for good, but when it’s used to dominate smaller businesses it’s hard to keep respecting Google.

Hi,

The code which we installed on our web pages to track by Google Analytics took how long to deduct that code and once the code deducted the code how long it took to gather the stats from these web pages and during stats gathering how much site that installed that code get effected by Google down loader or what ever or how ever they get the stats from those web sites does during the gathering the stats site gets slow?

When ever we try to visit any google analytics page it take more than 5 minutes to download. It is limited to google analytics and no other pages, unless the page/website is using analytics. Can anyone throw out some ideas as to what could be causing this?
