: Reporting on Specific Event Label in Google Analytics I am tracking the pageviews that each of my authors' articles generates on a Wordpress site with Google Analytics Event Tracking: var pageTracker

@Speyer207

For a quick solution you can:


email reports, using your existing events (thus giving the author the information you have collected with the event thus far)
insert an iframe with a small page containing the tracking code (which can be hidden), or if the author prefers they can host a small page themselves elsewhere (living with the slightly decreased page speed)
give the advice on www.webmasterworld.com/analytics/3781851.htm a shot - here they use different variable names for the tracker and call _initData() before _trackPageview()

You can set up multiple profiles for each site you add to Analytics, and give users access to specific profiles. I believe then it would simply be a matter of duplication the tracking code for the author on the page, something like this:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-base-code");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-profile-code");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}


UA-base-code would be your ID for the main site profile (accessible by you) and UA-profile-code would be the profile associated with the article's author.

If that doesn't work, you might want to take a look at the Analytics API - it would take a bit of work, but you could create a mini app that just gives each user the appropriate data.
