If I'm logged into my google account and I am surfing the net can anyone see my browsing history? and here I refer to people or friends from Google Plus which visted my G+ account or websites using Google Analytics.
Google says that the browsing history is private and only the owner of the account can see it, but I was wondering if Google Analytics or Google plus can show to other users my browsing history.
Basically no one else your browser's history. Unless you have left your computer open for others to access your browser with your login credentials.

I have several properties set up with Google Analytics. Today when I signed in to Google and went to the Google Analytics homepage, it displayed a “Welcome” page, as if I was a first-time user. My analytics were nowhere to be seen. I was finally able to access my analytics account by using a different browser that still apparently had my login information cached. But it displayed as follows:
[myname]%[myDomain]#gtempaccount.com
Note the percent sign between my name and domain. And what's the gtempaccount.com all about?
Using this weird login, I was able to successfully access my information. But I'm concerned about the next time I attempt to log in. Can anyone shed some light on this?
In troubleshoot issues with Google Accounts, you can read that you have a conflicting account.
How a conflicting account is created
A conflicting account is a personal Google Account that was created using the email address of a G Suite account. For this reason, any G Suite user could have two accounts with the same email address.

Why do I have website traffic coming from Instagram in my analytics when I don't have an Instagram account?

You don't need to have social accounts to get traffic from those sources.
This could be anything from someone linking to your site from their own Instagram account to a bot hiding behind an Instagram referrer. Use other reports and dimensions to find some context to that info (such as Hostname, Landing Page, Bounce Rate) and/or even a segment to determine what else the user did.
It may not illuminate much since there was only 1 acquisition from Instagram (especially if they bounced).
I have a google account that I use for everything to do with my website: ads, analytics, youtube, etc.
However, since the youtube/google integration (I imagine), When I sign in with my google account and click my profile, this is what I see:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/XtB1S.png
The top one's name is simply my email address, depicting my main account which I use for analytics, ads and whatnot, the second is my youtube account, and the bottom is an old account I created years ago but never use.
I'm currently using the Google APIs for the backend of my website, specifically Analytics and Youtube Analytics. When I do the oauth2 authorisation process for Analytics, I need to choose the top profile. For youtube however, I need to do another authorisation process and pick the second profile, which is VERY annoying!
It's a mess and I can't find any solutions anywhere. I've tried the gaia_link but it doesn't do what I need.
Is there any way to check an user is redirected to my site via Google Ads?
I want to track number of user who are redirected via Google Ads and their activities.
I have Google Analytics, Adword added already to my website.
I can track users on my site via Google Analytics only.
You can link your AdWords account to your Analytics account. Once you have done this, you will be able to see how many users came via AdWords in the "AdWords" section of the Acquisition area of Analytics. You'll see which campaigns & ads the users clicked, what key words they used and so on. You can then do all the usual GA filtering and grouping with that data that you usually can with normal visit info.
Hope that helps.
I am using Google Analytics to track visitors to the site. Now I have started a PPC campaign and I had a problem with the site which was down for a few hours, from 9am to 12am. So I wonder if Google Analytics can count the clicks from the PPC campaign even the application on the site is down.
There are two opinions on it, so I am a bit confused. One says GA track the visit but cannot track deeper than the visit, also Google Web Master Tools can say this information. The opposite idea says if application is down, so does the ga.js therefore GA cannot count any data.
Also, can Google Web Master tools tell me if the application is down or not. I found some services to let me know if the server is down but in this case I need to track if the app is down.
I would love to hear any comments on this question.
Thanks in advance.
User's browser can only send data to Google Analytics if the page is loaded, so if the site is down, nothing can be sent.
As for a uptime monitoring service, quick googling gives http://mashable.com/2010/04/09/free-uptime-monitoring/. I believe that Google Web Master tools provide website alerts but they don't have an option to send notifications.
After doing some more research on the topic I have found and tried what Google said in this link
Now I can place a cookie to visitor and can match PPC cound with visitor count.
