How do I do that since almost everyone uses dynamic IP?
It changes everytime the users connect to the internet...
I wanna know if an user visited my site yesterday and today. How do I do that?
Integrate an analytics library like mixpanel and create javascript events to keep track of your users new or returning. That will be a better approach.

Pls apologize if I'm not clear enough, i'll try to be as concise as possible.
I'm working on a a company that created it's own competitors, each has it own website, all share the same GA through GTM. Cross-domain tracking is implemented and working.
I want to know if users do actually visit these different sites, which is very likely because there is a lot of research before buying what this company offers.
I understand User Id's will not do the trick because I want to track them before visitors identify themselves through a form. There's no login.
Initially I thought I'll be able to create a segment to narrow down to users with more than one of this company's domains in their history, but that is not working. Should that do the trick?
Thanks.
In the view that get all data you have to create a segment to show users that visited first and second domain. If it is greater than 0 means the cross domain is set correctly.
For good implementation see Troubleshooting Cross-Domain Tracking in Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.simoahava.com/amp/analytics/troubleshooting-cross-domain-tracking-in-google-analytics/
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.
There are multiple profiles on my website and each user is managing his/her profile himself. I am trying to find the most efficient way to present analytics of each profile to its owner. Here are 3 ways I found:
Record each and every hit made on a profile page against that profile. This is not just count of hits, this requires to record IP, country, referrer, search terms etc. against each hit. This would require me to manage a huge database as there would be a lot of hits on each page. And a lots of processing on this database. Even if I have to de this, what database is recommended for such use?
Use Google Analytics on each page. But I am not sure that Google Analytics provide an API to fetch Analytics for individual pages.
Use some open source solution like piwik. Again I'm not sure if they provide per page analytics or not.
Please suggest the pros and cons of using each approach.
Update: More explanation - Think of it like a facebook page where each user can see hits on his page. What solution you'd suggest?
For Piwik, you can create a site id for each user, because you are allowed unlimited site ids with Piwik. You can can use a tracker with that user siteid, so when your member logs in, they get data only on their pages. You might also want to look at using custom variables and use the Piwik API to filter data.

Had a good hunt around for an answer to this google apps query but can't find a direct answer so going to flick this one out to the community.
The plan: We have a Google Apps domain account and we want to make use of the calendar API and create a PHP web app that pushes events to the calendars of all users of a google apps domain when triggered.
Question: Is it possible to push to all users? Or from what I read is this impossible to achieve this without the users actually being logged in etc and authorizing itself?
I dont believe this is possible, wanted to try and set up a 'push to all' feature a while back, but no luck.
The best consolation is maybe creating one shared user/calendar and then sharing that out across all of the accounts. So a new user, with calendar title 'ExampleEventsForGroup' would then be shared back to Tom, Dick & Mary, and they could also add/modify events onto that calendar, thus pushing back out to all members.
Its a workaround, but for us, it works!

I want to provide chat facility to my website visitors. This should be same as google chat (person to person communication). Are there any free tools available to integrate in the website? Or is there any way that we can use Google Chat's API and can integrate in our website?
Pls help me.
You can embed google chat into your web page, instructions here
I think a reasonable approach would involve opening an iframe that talks to a dynamic page. The dynamic page would be auto-refreshed by two or more clients and continously post to/read from a table that stores the ID of the session, timestamp, user name(or IP), and message for the chats. The ID of the session would correspond to the dynamic page ID and bob's your uncle.
I'm sure there are various implementations floating around, but I'd want to control this on my own. No user accounts required if you set it up correctly, thought finding other users may be an issue without accounts.
There are a lot of good embeddable chat widgets you can insert into a page fairly easily that do all the work for you.
I've tried out a few of the ones listed in the link above (mostly MeeboMe and Geesee) and don't have any major complaints. With that many choices you should be able to find one that meets your needs. Most don't even require a login.
