Google Analytics Question

[gobeyond]

Hi,

I am new to Google Analytics and I know this is a stupid question. Is the web traffic info collected by Google for a site available for download? I am not a big fan of the features offered by Google Analytics. If I could download all the raw data files collected by Google, I can analyze it with other software. I know you can export the date piece by piece, but that takes way too much time. As of now, my web host doesn't provide visitors' log file or statistics. So, I am stuck with Google Analytics.

Thanks in advance!

Terry

if you're not happy with Analytics then don't use it. I like statcounter.com... try other counters.

the one thing that statcounter.com has over Analytics is that I can see referring urls without clicking through 20 drop downs.

they all have their good and bad points, I use web trends and google to get all the info I need.

If you supply your sales data to Google analytics then it's a best.
I am giving google my sales data and it can say how much each person brings me.

I found out for example that on average every person with resolution 1024x768 brings me $0.75 while with resolution 800x600 only brings $0.25. I immediately redesigned my site for better visibility with 800x600 and now numbers match. 800x600 brings 0.75 cents.
And there is a lot of staff to play with like that one.

that's really useful. Is this based on actual sales over a month?
