Is there a good alternative to Google Analytics that does not sample? - google-analytics

I want to pay my writers based on unique page views. Right now I am getting my data from Google Analytics. The frustrating thing is that the numbers given by Google Analytics are from sampling.
So is there a Analytics Service to get unique page views that does not sample its data?
Or as anyone try doing something similar to what I am trying to accomplish, what would you recommend I do?

I use Unsampler
Extract unsampled data from a Google Analytics Standard profile. Avoid sampling and get at your real data.

Try to use PIWIK - it is server side analytics system, but you will must save all data on your server - you need separate mysql data base.

Get Real time Analytics Data

I want to get analytics data of each user of my website. I know that google analytics provide data user wise but I am not able to export that data using API. I want real time user wise data with export feature to save it in my database. I have gone through many platform like mouseflow but they do not provide data user wise. Is anyone have idea how can I implement this?
Thanks!

Define Analytics Goals in BigQuery

I am trying to get Analytics goal conversions and goal names with BigQuery, but it seems this must by defined by myself. How can I define this in BigQuery? Could someone provide me with a query example or guide?
Thanks a lot!!
The goals configured inside of Google Analytics are not stored in BigQuery and will need to be computed from scratch.
You will need to make a query based on the fact that the goal is generate it is, for example, by event or thank you page, so you need to recreate the calculation of the same according to how you have configured them in Google Analytics Admin section.

Merging data collected using 2 Tracking IDs of Google Analytics

Is there any way to merge data collected using 2 different Tracking IDs of Google Analytics?
Using the Google Analytics API you can extract the data you wish from both properties into your own system. Say a database I recommend adding the property id to the tables storing the data so that you will be able to differentiate between the data.
There is nothing out of the box that will do this for you with the exception of big Query. Users with a Google analytics 360 account can extract there data to big query. However I have not tried this I am not sure even that will allow you to analyze data over multiple views.
While #DalmTo is correct that there's no way to do what you ask for regular Google Analytics accounts, it's probably worth mentioning that you can do this if you're a Google Analytics 360 customer.
The feature is called Roll-up Reporting, and this article explains how it works:

I found this add-on for Google Sheets that can help you with that, it combines the metrics from several Google Analytics properties into one Google Sheet, I hope this helps!

Gather all my Google Analytics Properties data

I would like to gather all my Google Analytics Properties data.
I would like to know how much daily traffic all my sites are getting accumulated.
Thanks for your help.
You can as Tomek indicates programmatically collate the data from all the profiles, but you cannot add up all the numbers, example visitors. So be careful, alternative is to run a 2nd profile across all your sites, but that of course will only start collecting once you implement it.

google analytics api - Advice on integration with web app

This is more a question of if this is the right way to achieve the desired solution.
We are building an eCommerce store like Shopify. We want to display report/data to our users for their stores.
Using GA can we do this. We was thinking of using one account. Adding the tracking api. Posting the store sales using the eCommerce plugin.
Then pulling the data back into our control panel, show graphs etc.
Is this a workable solution.
What would the issues be.
Best way to segment for each store so that we don't have data bleed (we may have thousands of stores - coincidentally they would have a domain like mystore.yourstore.com)
Any advice or better ways of us doing this without re-inventing the wheel.
Thanks
You can segment data with a custom Google Analytics variable or by setting the subdomain, e.g.:
pageTracker._setDomainName("subdomain.yoursite.com");
I think your approach is viable, but the notable challenge is that you have build out custom code to pull all of the data from Google Analytics into your application. I don't know of many off the shelf products that would offer this type of segmentation for analytics without requiring you to manage and create users for every subdomain/store.
The only thing I can think of is building out automated reports in Google Analytics (or similarly in Omniture) and have them sent to your store owners. But unfortunately those would be static reports such as PDFs.
