On a given page, in addition to normal GA call, I am making an event call, and what we call a "phantom URL" call. The normal call seems to be recorded in GA, I can run a report on it, but neither event call, nor a "phaontom url" call are recorded. Here's the javascript that I place on the page <!-- analytics events --><script ty...

Just when I get quite familiar with SQL statements once again, when pulling data from Google Analytics, I found that they don't use SQL, but rather, use Dimensions and Metrics and the combinations of them. Why is a reason for that? I think it doesn't have a SQL interface (or a plain web server log download)? If so, how do SQL statemen...

Good day! We have an interesting 'bug' in our JS code that only fires when a user agent has a specific combination of parameters -- specifically when IE8 sends both Trident/4.0 and MSIE 6.0; We have checked the GA export data; it appears to export only the pre-digested browser information: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/g...
I was hoping to to use the analytics api to find out the most popular search terms (organic) that lead to a particular page. Is this possible? I've trawled the documentation and found this which looks as if it outlines all possible data I can retrieve from the API and I can't see this information here. http://code.google.com/apis/anal...
