GA Open Email Tracking - google-analytics

I would like to know how many of my clients open the automatic emails my website sents (ex Order Received etc).
Is there any detailed guide for newbies out there? I found several tutorials but they are really old. I use GA Universal Tracking.

Nice post, I have tried something similar but it did not work out very well for myself so I then started using ContactMonkey & have been very happy with the service they provide.
The recipient of your email doesn't need to acknowledge the read receipt. The tracking just happens in the background.
You can check out ContactMonkey by visiting their site
Hope that helps!

View Scheduled Emails in Google Analytics

I am consulting with a group that has several users on their GA account. How can I see the scheduled email each person set up to make sure they're correct and do I can assist them when they have problems?
If it can't be done, can someone please point me to an official Google statement saying it can't be done?...at least that way I can tell my boss :)
Thanks!
That cant be done. As to pointing you to Googles Statement of why it cant be done the only thing I can give you is the current documentation for the API.
IMO this feature would be located in the Management API probably under User permissions but i'm not really sure that's the best place for it either.
User Permissions - Developer Guide
I feel this is a very good idea and added it to my long list of feature requests feel free to star it. Manage Scheduled Emails Now I'm not sure they will add it I think they may decided that there is to grate a spam risk with this. But we will have to wait and see.
Tell your boss that its not currently available in the Google Analytics API but a feature request was made.
Click on the gear icon in the bottom left, then on the bottom right under 'Personal Tools & Assets', you should see Scheduled Emails. They're only visible with the view they're attached to, so if you have multiple views, you'll need to look through each one.

Is there a way for to receive comment notifications using disqus without registering?

I am using Disqus, and I'm trying to find a way for commenters to receive notifications of replies to their comments (or new comments) without registering with disquis. If using native wordpress comments people can check the little box that says "receive notifications" and receive messages when there is a new comment. However, when using disqus people have to register to receive those notifications. Many commenters don't want to register for another service, so people aren't getting notified. Is there any way to make it easier for people to get notifications?
After researching and talking with disqus, this can not be done. As a free service they want to direct users back to their site to set up an account in order to get features such as comment replies. I've decided to go back to wordpress native comments.

Detect Fake CLicks and Impressions Ads Project

I am creating a mobile ads project and I need to detect real ip/user_agent/os and all that stuff. I am able to track them down but my problem is I will give the publisher php code and will detect everything on their servers and then send a POST request to my server to store data but since I am giving the code to them they can modify it and send fake IP/os/user agent and impressions to earn more.
I can't encrypt my code. Can any one answer with best solution to stop this issue?
I found a way to do it
i am storing everything in cookies now so will be bit harder for publishers to flood

How do I segment and filter out robot traffic in Google Analytics?

Google Analytics automatically filters out some bot traffic (e.g. from Googlebot and Bing's bot), but some smart bots that execute JavaScript show up like normal users in GA reports. What's the best way to filter them out?
I spent time researching this question and wrote up a detailed answer with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. I hope others find it helpful!

Realtime HTTP notifications using Google Analytics when user views my page?

I was wondering if its possible with Google Analytics to send real-time HTTP notifications to say PHP when a user visits my website. If not, I am curious about any real-time notifications that Google Analytics can send to me when a user visits my site. Thanks!
EDIT::Just came across Piwik and it says that it is realtime... does anyone have any experience with them or using their api?
As far as I know, no. You'll have to use another service or write your own.
Maybe there is a commercial google analytics that may give you this but i don't know.
Just to announce that this feature is very close to be released.
According to their blog (http://analytics.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-happening-on-your-site-right-now.html), it will become public sometime in the next few weeks.
too late but, you can use imrelay - for free http://indo-mars.com/imrelay/ , just use socket.io /webrtc in your php.
