I'm running into an interesting problem here at Webmetricsguru.com - I don't really have the web analytics I'd like to analyze my own traffic.  Sitemeter is good, as far as it goes, but does not have the segmentation abilities Google Analytics provides and the free version only stores the details on the last 100 visits.

Given Webmetricsguru gets 40-60 visits an hour currently - I only have a window of one or two hours to view the details of any visit (like the 100,000th visit that happened last week on my blog) - if I don't constantly watch my stats - I can't know the details of any visit.

Google Analytics has been great and I have it on a number of blogs and websites that I look at regularly - but I'm not yet able to make it work for me here at Webmetricsguru.com and here's why (perhaps there's a solution out there and I just don't know it yet).

Know More Media collects data on the entire network while I want data just on Webmetricsguru.com.  I imagine there's probably a way to filter on the events of any domain that GA tracks within an account - but it would probably require access to the master account and more work than might be practical.

Clearly, Google Analytics is being stretched to do all kinds of things - and GA was itself, reengineered from Urchin to enable virtually millions of accounts to be hosted by Google - that's an incredible accomplishment.    But GA was probably not designed to do something like this - yet I wonder if it could be made to do it (see below).

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "account 1";_uacct = "account 2";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Right now, we have two Urchin Tracker scripts on webmetricsguru.com - and the second one, my account (in green), gets next to no traffic being collected - all of it goes to the first account (highlighted in yellow) which is not mine.

As a blog needs the tracking script just once in the template - it's possible, given the solution I came up with above - to collect the data just for Webmetricsguru.com for me to view and yet also send the same data as part of an overall network stat for the first account.

Would such a solution work?  Has anyone done something like this?  I'd be curious to know and you can both make a comment here or write me at now.seo@gmail.com.  Thanks in advance.
