To put it simply, an account contains
a collection of profiles. Note, if you
have a simple website, you can
probably get by without creating
profiles. Profiles exist to let you do
two important things.
Separate out information about specific web properties, like your
blog...
Apply different rules and criteria for advanced ...

As this Google Analytics Google Groups states "IP Addresses are not tracked by Google Analytics" at all for some reasons mentioned in the post, like "it's not reliable", "it's not scalable" and "it's Evil".

I think I've found the answer:

You cheat by adding another user (the one at @my-own-domain.com) to Google Analytics, giving him administrative rights and then revoking those rights from another user (the one at @gmail.com).
Or maybe there is another way?
Here's also a similar ...

Ultimately, there is no way to hide it. Worst case, the competitor can just look at the address of the analytics image loaded on the page.
But what's stopping them from creating a separate email address, registering a separate google analytics account and then just adding their original email as full-access co-administrator?

There is no easy way to do it. Since the "flash" charts are not available to embed on to your website.
The only way you could do it is through the Google Analytics API,
See, http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/
But this still won't give you charts. If you wanted charts you could use the Google Charts API in conjunction with the Google Analytics ...

Please note that when you view In-Page Analytics, it displays the current URL at the top left:
Google Analytics allows you to override that URL with a custom one when a user views your website. For the specifics, you can check out the question How can I set a Page Title with Google Analytics?
You can simply check if this is the case, by looking at any ...

I actually ran into this same problem myself. I ended up just building my own solution and publishing it for use. OOCharts uses just one script. On top of that, you can present the charts to the public or clients. It uses Google Charts to create the charts. I also included some prebuilt solutions for anyone who doesn't want to touch the javascript objects. ...

I'm not 100% positive (Since I use 2 Google Accounts) but I believe you can give access to your Google Analytics site to me@gmail.com even though it was created by me@mycompany.com. I have two Google Accounts, account1@gmail.com and account2@gmail.com. I setup GA for account1 and then later gave access to account2 to view the stats.
Heres a Help Post from ...

This being a QR code doesn't make it any different to any other URL you might want to track.
Create a page on your own website that does a redirect to the other site, and and make a QR code to the URL on your website.
So people click the QR, go to your site, and end up at the target site. Then you can measure the hits to the URL. Use a meta-refresh ...

Yes, they are. In the left-side menu, go to Content → Site Content → Pages. Then, click on the Secondary dimension button below the graph and choose Visitors → Country/Territory.
You will be presented with the pageviews per page per country.
Note: this method applies to the new version of Analytics.

It's probably best to keep them under one profile to enable you to track bounce rates and internal traffic between the sub domains easier.
Take a look at 'Advanced Segments';
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108040
and filters for separating your data.
These also some more useful info here;

Some things to keep in mind:
Tracking subdomains, as referencing in links provided by Whitingx, is a different matter than tracking subdirectories within your website, and requires changes to your GA tracking code. Filtering for directories does not.
Using the Advanced Segments method mentioned by Mozami will not necessarily isolate the subdirectory you ...

I don't believe Google has an official policy on this. If Google didn't already know about your site and you added it to analytics, it might crawl it, but that's not guaranteed.
You can always control whether Google is indexing your page or not though using robots.txt, and even if you use Google Analytics, googlebot will still obey robots.txt. You may want ...

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: it depends on which version of the tracking code you are using. Meaning that if you are using an older version (urchin.js), you need to copy/paste a different tracking code into your secure pages. Here is the man page: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55483

The way I do this is by accessing my google apps emails from my personal gmail account. I simply forward all mails from my apps account to my personal gmail account. This question: How to access google apps mail from within personal gmail account should provide you with some other helpful answers as well.

Your youtube issue is simple answer of logging in with that account first.
The analytics issue however is the real problem as it doesn't currently support multi-sign
So the only options I can think of are using an private session(or what ever the browsers call it) for the anayltics and do as normal for mail and youtube.

Google defines unique visitors as "number of unduplicated (counted only once) visitors to your website over the course of a specified time period" http://support.google.com/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=33087 so what is happening here is when you are looking at each day those numbers are correct for that day. When you expand the date range ...

I also couldn't find how to use OR. I can offer you a workaround however. Use the powerful Matching RegExp filter instead of Containing.

This was a rogue internet explorer toolbar that injected javascript code into the apges the users were seeing and causing these events. Only affected internet explorer users who had that toolbar. This issue has been fixed as the company responsible for the toolbar has patched their software to avoid the events from leaking out.

HTTP cookies are the most common. They are usually written and read by the site you are visiting (the "first party"), but also (depending on your browser and browser settings) written and read by third-party elements on the page you are visiting.
Also common are small image elements, served from various tracking servers (these are common in commercial ...

Internet Explorer reports the version of .NET installed in its user agent string. If Google Analytics shows you the user agent strings for the browsers used to connect to your server, you should be able to verify the version of .NET.
Some browsers allow users to change the user agent string used when connecting to web sites; you could think a user has ...

Perhaps you could play around with other options such as _setAllowAnchor() and change your URLs to use hashes (for GA) and query vars for your web app. Although, to be honest, probably not the best idea in the world to throw errors if you have unknown variables query strings, it should just ignore them instead.

Go to "Analytics Settings" on the left side right below the logo. Then click on "User Manager" in the middle column. Click on "Add user" on the right top site of the table. Type in the e-mail address (note that this must be a Google account). Select "Account Administrator" as "Access Type". Add the sites which should be transferred below. The click safe. The ...

I don't think you can currently if you're not an admin user - see this thread on the support forum.
One poster managed by emailing Google Analytics support and requesting manual removal but where he found the email address I've no idea. If you had/have an Adwords account you might have some luck here though.

Google Analytics organizes individual sites as profiles, and groups those profiles within "accounts".
Within your Google Analytics overview you should see all the accounts you manage. Click "edit" on the right for the account you wish to delete. Then within that next page you should see an option to delete the account. That will just delete the website ...

Custom variable name should be Visitor Type and the value should be Buyer. You need to create a new custom report and drill-down as first dimension should be Visitor Type and the second Dimension shoulde be Custom Variable 1 Value.
With the example above, you didn't know that if he/she is a returning visitor or not.
If you want to analyze exact returning ...

You should get a response in a couple of days.
You can also try emailing analytics-support@google.com but that has not delivered good results for me in the past.. Maybe you will be lucky?

Actually, Google considers profiles as subsets of data of a particular site (source), so ideally you should have the entire set of data for that site at the web property level, thus being able to delete different profiles for a particular site without losing the original data. Now (and this is pure speculation), I think this is the reason they don’t offer ...
