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.

We are implementing a native analytics system and want to apply the same tracking principles Google Analytics uses. We've figured everything out but one thing:
Every time I refresh a page with an url that has utm-parameters attached to it, Google Analytics somehow figures out that it's not actually a visit but the same page that gets refreshed and shows only one visit in its dashboard from that particular source.
Is anybody aware how GA specifically does that so I can replicate it in our system?
I know that I can use
performance.navigation.type
in my JS script, but it doesn't give me desired results.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Attribution in GA happens on the Google servers, so JavaScript will be of limited use. Basically since a reload means that the user has the same client id and no change in the channel (source, medium and campaign are the same as in the previous visit) the existing session will be continued (a change of campaign/source information would trigger a new Google Analytics session).
Google has a very nice chart that explains how campaign information and traffic source information is processed.
I have a site developed by a third party, that might have a mistake and wrote another analytics script that is not mine in my site. Since I have the script I have the ID UA-XXXX, is there a way to know who owns this analytics account?
There is no active service that can help you as you can't get the information from Google. They state their policy about identifying the owner of a Google Analytics id here:-

Good afternoon,
I just started with a new company and need to remodel our website. Within the Code their is a tracking ID for Google Analytics, but unfortunately nobody can remember what the account names are. Is there any way that I could use my tracking ID, which includes my Account number according to my research, to get to my account name?
Thank you very much to everybody who is putting in some effort to help me.

You can use the Google Analytics Account Explorer to search for all accounts you have access to.
If you have access to this account, you'll be able to find the account name by searching with the tracking ID. If nothing shows up, find someone you know has access and have them search.
Having trouble linking separate accounts from GA to Adwords. They are different emails, both tracking the same site. The main GA email works with a lot of different sites, so I don't want the Adwords to have access to all of it.
The Adwords account seems to have created its own analytics site --but it's not the one I've been working with.
Help?
If I understood correctly, the possible solution to your problem is setting the cross-account conversion tracking by creating the My Client Center (MCC) account: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704399?rd=1
This account is actually an AdWords account that lets you easily view and manage all of your AdWords accounts (including other MCC manager accounts) from a single location.

Hope I helped.
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.
