Google API Tools - Next Analytics

[KnutDSvendsen]

Have you used any API tools like Next Analytics and/or can you recommend another tool that is particularly useful for a SEO?

Next Analytics - http://www.nextanalytics.com/ - has prooved to be a false promise for me. Its like wading through treacle and the support is bloody useless.

You get lulled with the promise of automating analytics reports but they omit to tell you you need to be an excel wiz, think in Dimensions & Metrics & put up with data that rarely agrees with anything else

If i knew what i knew now my advice would be leave next analytics well alone!

Hi Knut

We use it and I asked Fabian (@panduuf) who does our reporting what he thought of it. He says:

Pros –

useful free templates

Once setup – easy to use.

Decent support

Cons -

Customised templates cost money.

Tool is very buggy

Tool has flaws in report.

Setup is very difficult – poor support with it, requires time.

Have a look at http://excellentanalytics.com/ or you could get funky with Neils Bosma's SEO for Excel

Cheers
