Schedule Statistics Reports By Email
December 9, 2009
If you have a free Google Analytics account linked to your website you can navigate to any section of your statistics, then schedule a report to be emailed to you/someone else every week/month/day.
The sort of reports you might benefit from seeing regularly are:
- Weekly Summary (the first page you see when you click on View Reports)
- Most popular posts by title (look under Content tab, then Content by title)
- Posts by a certain author
- New subscribers to your newsletter (first setup a goal with your subscribe page url, click on Goals)
Email Yourself a Weekly Summary
- Login to your Google Analytics account.
- Click on View Reports beside your website address
- Click on the grey Email button at the top of the page
- Fill in boxes to send report immediately or click the Schedule tab
- Enter additional email addresses ro recieve the report or leave as send to me
- Add a subject (tip: setup a mail rule to put these emails into a Stats folder under your inbox)
- Add Description (mostly useful if emailing to others or if you are creating lots of reports)
- Choose format (pdf is easy but excel compatible formats mean you can keep all stats in a spreadsheet)
- Choose how often you would like to receive your report
