Is there a problem with using same gmail account for multiple site analytics and GWMT?
-
Hi,
Is there a problem or a general recommendation about using the same gmail account for two different sites (both in Google Analytics and Webmaster tools)?
Thanks

GA allows many sites per "Account" and many "Accounts" per Gmail login. So in GA, I created a few dozen Accounts and put up to 50 clients into each Account. Most clients have one or two websites, some have more, so I put the larger clients into separate Accounts (UA-nnnnn-xx where nnnnn is the Account and -xx is the website property.)
In Google Analytics I am monitoring over 500 sites for various clients. ALL of that is under one Gmail login for admin, and you can assign access privileges to each web property uniquely, so each client can look over their results privately via their own Google login.

There are no issues with connecting multiple sites to one email account in analytics and WMT. Would get pretty hard to handle if everyone needed a brand new email address for every single site they tracked.

SEO dealing with a CDN on a site.
This one is stumping me and I need some help. I have a client who's site is www.site.com and we have set them up a CDN through Max CDN at cdn.site.com which is basically a cname to the www.site.com site. The images in the GWT for www.site.com are de-indexing rapidly and the images on cdn.site.com are not indexing. In the Max CDN account I have the images from cdn.site.com sending a canonical header from www.site.com but that does not seem to help, they are all still de-indexing.

Setting Up Google Analytic with Sub Folder Sites
What is the best way of setting up Google Analytic for a website that has many sub folders? The main site is example.com and it has 40 sub folder sites like example.com/uk example.com/France etc etc Would it be advised to track a single domain in Google Analytic then create filters for the sub folder sites. Filters > Include traffic from > Sub directories Also with this method is it possible to view overall incoming website stats for everything? Previous experience would be great with this thanks 🙂

Email campaigns. Should I link to my blog or to my site?
I have a client for who we write and post a daily blog article. The articles are optimized and linked to particular targeted content on his top level site. Now we are going to start e-marketing to his 3000+ website users to announce inventory changes and specials. My question is (from a SE standpoint) are we better off linking the e-mail content to the blog and introducing people to the blog (but adding an additional step for getting to the new inventory. Or are we better off putting a link in the HTML E-mail letter that we send out to both the blog and separately to the inventory section? Just to clarify, we wonder if the search engines would provide some additional authority for the extra blog traffic and thereby build the overall score of the blog & site. We are looking at the e-mail campaigns as a potential opportunity to impact SE scores not just awareness of new inventory. Thanks everyone!

How do shortened links show up in Google Analytics?
