Disconnect or remove a website from Google Analytics

To clean up Google Analytics and remove web sites you’re no longer interacting with (e.g. client sites to which you’ve been granted access),  you can simply remove yourself in the User Management screen.

To get there, log in and click on the Admin tab at the top of the Google Analytics screen.

Select the Account you want to rid of from the drop down list in the left column. Then click on the User Management link below.

You should then see a big blue button that says Remove myself from this account. Click it, confirm, and you’re done.

No deletion or trashing of views or properties (but also no undo).

Loving Google Analytics

I'm absolutely loving Google Analytics. The interface is incredibly responsive and the wealth of information made freely available is truly awesome. To date GA has yet to prevent me accessing a particular bit of data the way I want it whereas Omniture's ability to drill into specific reports is stymieing at times. The menu is simply intuitive where I often find it difficult to find specific Omniture reports in their convoluted menu structure.

It's so interesting to know where you're coming from, how you're arriving here, and which posts attract the most attention! Thanks for reading!

Google Analytics vs Omniture

We use Omniture's Site Catalyst tools for web site analytics across www.westernaustralia.com and all of the connected Tourism Western Australia eMarketplace sites. There's been a mad rush on stats lately, initiated by the CEO, so I've been waist deep in Omniture stats coming to terms with an area of web development to which I've never paid much attention.

Omniture costs money and until the other day I was under the impression Google Analytics was a paid service as well. Silly me. Until now I've been displaying AdSense ads on this blog to get a rough idea of page views and not a lot else. You may have noticed I don't care much for AdSense.

I finally decided to have a look at Analytics and after realising it is a free service I signed up. Much to my suprise, the stats available are very comprehensive and while I imagine Analytics is taregetting a different group of sites than Omniture, I'm struggling to see many advantages to going with an Omniture solution. Customisation would be a biggie and I've heard Analytics stats are big shonky at times, which is kind of important ;-)

Analytics is now live on this blog via a simple bit of JS and I'm dying to know how you're arriving here and how often you return. It's all fascinating stuff and I've been watching my "readership" increase slowly but surely over the last year so some additional detail will be welcome.
