I'm trying to get some stats on how many of the visitors to our website have Silverlight enabled browsers.
We currently use Google Analytics for the rest of our stats so ideally we'd like to just add 'Silverlight enabled' tracking in with the rest of our Google Analytics stats. But if it has to get written out to a DB etc then so be ...
Is it possible to obtain raw logs from Google Analytic? Is there any tool that can generate the raw logs from GA?
...
Prefixing variable and method names with an underscore is a common convention for marking things as private. Why does all the methods on the page tracker class in the Google Analytics tracking code (ga.js) start with an underscore, even the ones that are clearly public, like _getTracker and _trackPageView?

Our company runs a web site (oursite.com) with affiliate partners who send us traffic. In some cases, we set up our affiliates with their own subdomain (affiliate.oursite.com), and they display selected content from our site on their site (affiliate.com) using an iframe.
Example of a page on their site:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<ifr...
I have a web page in which people go to register for my site. I use server side validation to authenticate them. I need to call some Javascript to tell GA that user was or was not registered. Later I need stats on success in registration.
How can I call the GA function on my server side C# code?

So Google Analytics does not have an API that we can use to get our data, so is there an efficient way to programaticly fetch the data collected by Google, without logging it locally?
Edit:
I would prefer a Python or PHP solution but anything will work.

The project I'm working on uses a window.onerror event handler to report user problems. I've noticed a single user that just cannot seem to load the Google Analytics script. Our site doesn't see a lot of traffic so I'm not sure how widespread this is, but so far it seems to just effect one user.
His user agent is: "Mozilla/5.0 (Wind...
The website works with Wemf and Google Analytics, but they are giving me very different results; WEMF counts 10 - 30 % more page views than Google Analytics... Why can this be?
Google Analytics works only with JavaScript enabled, yes - but I don't think that's the reason for this difference. The site which should be counted is a famous ...
Is there any way to get numbers on how many people are reading an RSS feed? My understanding of the way feed readers work (e.g. Google Reader) is that they check the feed periodically, cache it, and serve the cached copy to whoever asks for it until it's refreshed - which would imply that there's no way to get reliable numbers on readers...
I like to keep my websites extremely light and fast, but of course I need some kind of user tracking and analytics.
It seems like Google Analytics always takes significant enough processing time that I'd like to replace it with something faster (and/or hosted locally), perhaps having less features.
I really only care about these metr...
Has anyone else had any problems using google's Domain Tracking API, I am specifically talking about the _link() method.
The documentation is here
The example provided shows that the _link() method should be used in the onclick event like this:
<a href="http://www.newsite.com" onclick="pageTracker._link('http://www.newsite.com');retur...
I am tracking the Java versions being used by web visitors: http://cowwoc.blogspot.com/2008/12/tracking-java-versions-using-google.html
Unfortunately, the integration level is skin deep. I would like Google Analytics to tell me what percentage of visitors ran what version, and drill down further to find out what sub-attributes each vers...
Basically I have an admin CP I've coded for all my sites and I'd love to integrate the information gathered by Google Analytics on it to avoid having to look at both sites every morning.
BTW I'm using PHP, but I would assume if something like this exists it would just be exported as XML.

Has anyone found any documentation or research about what data is transfered to Google Analytics when it's added to a site. The main thing I'm wondering about is post data, but the details of exactly what is sent would be useful.
I'm considering implementing it on a sites that have a lot of private data on them. I'm wondering what data ...
With RSS feeds how do you set up google analytics (or any other statistical tracker) to track people who are subscribed to the feed?
...
How can you modify the URL for the current page that gets passed to Google Analytics?
(I need to strip the extensions from certain pages because for different cases a page can be requested with or without it and GA sees this as two different pages.)
For example, if the page URL is http://mysite/cake/ilikecake.html, how can I pass t...
My issue is that sometimes a piece of JavaScript (often Google Analytics) may take a very long time to load, although it's not important to the HTML be ready to be "traversed and manipulated". If I were to use the following code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("p").text("The DOM is now loaded and can be manipulated.");
});

i want to add tracking to my website. I saw google analytics which seems to track what i need.
So do i stick the google analytics snippet in each page, in a master page, just in my default page? what is the best practice here to get the best metrics.

Perhaps I am missing something, but I am just learning javascript.
My understanding of Single Origin Policy is that Google Analytics should not be able to send data back to Google.
How is it able to transmit send data to Google without violating the policy?

I am searching for a program like Google Analytics or Clicky which runs on my own servers. I have used awstats, which looks really old. It doesn't have to be open source but I would prefer something free.
If possible it should also analyse my Apache Logs.
