thank you.
Google Analytics is not the right tool for this because it is not easy to get data out to know how many credits you should give.
You should use a specific url tracker for this, which would update your credits counter in real time.

I am partnering with an email newsletter to include some url links I'd like to advertise.
Can someone advise on how I might get "click" stats on these url links? The links neither redirect to my website/app, and are just links to, for example, a youtube video.
I've gone down the rabbit hole of Google's Campaign URL builder and Google tags, but am admittedly lost as a complete beginner regarding Google Analytics, tracking, etc, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
With Google Analytics, the only way you can track clicks within is if you leverage UTMs and drive traffic to a site or property that you own. I believe the UTMs might translate to YouTube account but, again, you have to own the video.
There are ways of leveraging Universal Analytics tags, in the form of pixels, that only measure when an email is opened (and the picture is essentially downloaded). But this doesn’t relate to clicks.
More than likely you will need to either use a dedicated email platform with built in analytics, or subscribe to an email analytics service. Google Analytics won’t really be of any value to you.
I would like to retrieve visitor behavior data from Google Analytics on my site. For example, detecting New Visitor or Returning Visitor so i can manage different Site Messages. If i can get the user data metrix, i think we could do a lot of stuff for marketing purpose
I know we can implement our own cookies, but what we had in Google Analytics is more than enough if its accessible, why re-invent the wheel ?
So hope you guys can give me insight if my inquiry is applicable
Unfortunately, you cannot do this with Google Analytics.
You can look at tools such as Google Optimize or Optimizely for personalization, A/B testing.
I give each visitor who signs up to my Google Form an unique url to my landing page for them to share with their friends. The idea is the more they share and their friends visits the site through their given unique url, I'll move them up the waiting list for a product launch.
So for each visitor I gave them example.com/?ref=uniqueCode which is unique to each visitor. Currently I'm using Google App scripts to programatically generate individual url to each visitor who signs up my Google Form.
The goal is if I see traffic coming in from eg: example.com/?ref=a, and I know tag a belongs to John Doe, I'll move John Doe up the waiting list.
Tried googling for a solution but couldn't find any. All solution directs me to creating a particular campaign in Google Analytics with the URL building which really isn't the right solution for this purpose.
How do I set this up with Google Analytics and track the incoming traffic for each unique code of the ref tags of each user?
Going over your question I cannot see why URL builder does not fit your needs.
However, when it comes to immediate and accurate statistics of incoming referrals you may also use a server side script to track incoming visitors.
Also for lots of existing CMS there are plugins to track referrals. If you use a CMS please update your question.
I have FTP access and am re-designing a website and I want to see historical traffic data from their Google Analytics, but they do not have a Google Analytics Account and can not get in touch with their last web person who set it up.
The tracking code has been in place for several years. There are a lot of articles about how to add Google Analytics code to a website but how do you setup a Google Analytics account with tracking code that is already there?
The best way is to ask person who set it up. But if it is impossible - here is the article, which help You - http://savvydealer.com/reclaim-your-google-analytics-account/
This is the only one way.
There are 2 options,
Ask for the Authoritative person to add you as an Admin, so you can easily get access. If this option may not possible then,
You can replace old tracking code with new tracking code.
I am not sure if this is possible, nor that I could find any leads yet.
I want to be able to return only the total 'Page Views' number of any website URL, that uses Google Analytics. With GA API, I can use this by logging-in but only for the limited websites I am authorized to see the stats.
However, I only need to display total page views for requested page URL (not entire domain & no information is stored on the server.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
EDIT:
After answers from Tom & Blexy -- I would like to rephrase it.
What're the best ways to estimate page views of any URL example.com/this-is-url, from single/multiple sources, like Alexa?
TIA :)
I think you're asking if there's any way to see GA data for other sites - say, stackoverflow.com. If so, then no, there is no way to access GA reporting for sites your Google account does not have access to.
Take a look at Google Analytics superProxy. It will require some setup, but I believe it's one of the only ways to publish your data publicly without the use of a dashboard, etc.
