Is there a posibillity to import own data into google analytics?

Question

I want to compare own data with data generated by google analytics. For example I want to see the number of my twitter followers compared with my page visitors per day.

Is there a way to do something like this?

Answer 1

As far as I'm aware, it is not possible to import your own data into Google Analytics. You can however export data from Google Analytics and compare it with your own data in Open Office, Excel or another graphing solution.

For a high-level overview, you could use SWIX - I haven't tried it, but it allows you to make dashboards with input from a bunch of pre-generated sources, including Twitter, Facebook & GA. I suspect that you could build something similar with YouCalc as well, but it should work out of the box with SWIX.
