Greeting lurker-Doug, et al,

Interesting idea and responses.
This would preclude the client from having access to their own Google  
profile since the code snippet would have your Google ID in it,  
correct? Unless you wanted to have more than one code snippet with  
different IDs in the site files. I've never tried that so I don't  
really know if one can have two snippets...

I don't necessarily think this service is unethical, since as Seth  
pointed out, Google loves people sharing their data and technology, at  
least in mashups and stuff. Heck, they're giving it away for free.

While Analytics can be configured to send out alerts for specific data  
types related to your profiles, the alerts seem to be based on  
reaching (or not reaching) some kind of a threshold. So some kind of a  
alert that had specifically targeted items of use to certain types of  
clients —non-tech types — could be really helpful and convenient, imo.  
But I'd also like to give them access to the full data if they wanted  
to check it out.

Wonder if any other firms are already providing this service  
automatically?

Best,
Kimo
