I am a web developer, and offer the creation of Google Analytics accounts for clients. To save them messing around with veifying email accounts, I like to create them a gmail account, get it all set up then just send them the password.
However, Google is asking for verification by Mobile and I have now reached the "verification limit".
I kind of understand why Google don't want spam accounts, but is there no way to regsiter as a developer and then create accounts for clients? Something like apps for business, but just for standard Google accounts.
Thanks #CrayonViolent it looks like profiles is the way forward
I would be a mistake to use profiles for multiple clients. For one, each client would be prevented from using more than one profile. And there is a limit of 50 profiles per account.

we are using a iam.gserviceaccount.com Email adresss to connect our tool with the Google Analytics accounts from our clients.
We have reached the maximum connected accounts, but an upgrade is not possible because we can't response to the emails sent by analytics support.
Is there another way to upgrade it? Or is there another possibility to connect our tool with the analytics API?
We already tried to upgrade the account with the analytics support, but it is not working because of the emailadress.
For normal Google analytics accounts there is a limit to 100 accounts that you can have access to. If you upgraded to a premium account if i remember correctly that number jumps to 250.
You are currently using a service account and granting it access to a number of Google analytics accounts. The service account is going to be bound by the normal user limit of 100 and your not going to be able to increase that.
The problem is that you are using service accounts in correctly. Your not supposed to be giving the service account out to your customers and asking them to add it as a user on their Google analytics account. Service accounts are intended to be used by developers and companies that have access to data and want to share that data with others.
You should be using Oauth2 to gain access to the users data and saving the refresh token in your application which will enable you to request data for the user when ever needed.
By using a service account you are going to be hit with a lot of quota limits because they are shared by the user a user can only make so many requests so fast per day. By using Oauth2 you would be using different users and would not have as many issues with the user based quotas.
In realtime database I have exactly 448101 users that authenticated by different providers. Is there any easy way to filter how many users sign-up with facebook, twitter, google or anonymous-login? I believe this feature should be in the analytics section of firebase console.
Thanks
There is no such feature in the Firebase Console at the moment. But it sounds reasonable, so I suggest you file a feature request.
In the meantime: since you say you have the users in the database, you might be able to derive the data from there, or at least start tracking it there.
I posted this on Google's help forums, but I still haven't gotten a response, so I thought I'd try it here;
I work for a web development company with 200+ active clients. We are in the process of setting up Google Analytics tracking for each of their websites. We have already created a Google account for each of our clients, and we are attempting to manually sign each one up for GA. We haven't gotten very far in creating new GA accounts, after creating a few accounts, we are required to use text-message verification to create the accounts, and after a few more, we are unable to create any new accounts at all.
We are following the recommendation of Google's Help Article found here:
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55601
We are a legitimate business trying to set up analytics for legitimate customers. At this point we can't create a single new GA account, but we still have 182 clients that we have promised to set up with GA, plus any new customers, all of which we intend to set up with GA. We've clearly been flagged as a robot by Google's system, which is totally understandable given the volume of accounts we are creating, but we are not using any robots, we have a person sitting at a computer manually entering all of the information for each of our clients.
Does anyone have any ideas or a solution?
Are you logging in as a different client each time in order to open the new account?
If so, try logging in as yourself and creating each new accounts in your profile. Once created, add your client as a user (report or admin level).
I work in a small company and we - as many others = use google analytics to monitor how well/bad our site is doing.
To access this information we put the google account's details (username and pwd) and off we go.
I now want to share this information with one of my clients but I don't want to give him my google account.
can anybody suggest the best way or the best practices to achieve this ?
Many Thanks

Given that you want to "publish it", you might want to extract the relevant data via the Google Analytics API, which provides read-only access, works just like an ordinary Google Data API--this way you can serve it from your own Site without restriction.
That still leaves the presentation of that data, but at least you have complete control over it.
the client can give you HIS account and you give his account view rights
You create anothe rgoogle account just for read only access, give it read access to your google analytics and send the password that client.
I dont really see the issue here ;)
Check out EmbeddedAnalytics. This is a service tailored specifically to allow you to define nice looking charts against your Google Analytics data and then embed them on to your site. The service utilizes the Google Analytics API.
(disclosure: I work with EmbeddedAnalytics).
You may now use Google Analytics Embed API for the purpose. Clients still do need to have Google account.
I'm building an application that gives users the option to send out an email notification to their friends.
The options I would like to give them for this are to:
manually write down which emails they would like to send to
choose contacts from a list of ones already in the database for that user
choose all contacts from facebook, twitter, digg, gmail, or msn to send the email to
Is there any way I can retrieve all of the email addresses for a certain contact from these different websites?
For example, if I chose the option to send out email notification and I wanted to send it to all of my friends on my facebook account, how could I do this? (Remembering that the user is interacting with a completely separate website and should not have to go onto facebook to send this emails)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Matt
Google contacts api: http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
Windows Live contacts api: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463989.aspx
Facebook's apis are here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/API
For each websites (twitter, facebook, etc.) use their API for accessing contacts.
Russau was faster with the Google contacts API. For sending Gmail messges there is also a third-party API here. Actually I thought that also Google released one, but I couldn't find it at the moment.
\Edit:
This might be relevant too.
