Hi everyone, 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 Lp

A: 
  • 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 ;)

Thanks Tom. but I was wondering how to make them visible to anyone. Not only that specific client. Sorry I did not phrase the question correctly.

A: 

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.

well i use GA every day and all of the data i present (via a dashboard to my employer's Intranet) is collected via their API. Give me a few minutes and i'll update my answer with the steps required to connect and DL your data.
