So I tried it out and have a few comments. First, the 'Search Terms' report does not appear to be working right. The terms appear, but it lists '10' for the number of visitors for all terms, yet Analytics shows these search terms bringing in thousands and thousands of visitors. Also the vast majority of terms show no 'Previously' value and those all show 'NaN' in the Diff field. Second, the 'Referring Sites' page has a bug where it shows 'Search Term Analysis' as the header when your on the page. Also, this Referring Sites report would be cool if it had a line graph. The top 10 referring sites, each represented as a line. The X axis is time, the Y axis is number of visitors. Go 12 months back, each month getting a data point. Also, being able to sort this table by 'Diff' would be nice. Third, the 'Browsers' report has a minor bug in the labels can overlap each other. For example here is my report and I'm guessing the green is IE 6, but I can't read it: http://telparia.com/ringbug.png http://telparia.com/ringbug.png Lastly, you should strongly consider using some more interactive charting library. I highly recommend Highcharts: http://www.highcharts.com/ http://www.highcharts.com/ Overall, it was pretty nice. I liked the time of day analysis report the best. I've already un-linked my account, as I didn't see any disclaimers that you won't use my data elsewhere or get data when I'm not viewing the site. You may want to add a notice somewhere that the data you get from analytics is never saved in your database or shared with anyone else. Note: I may sign back up again in the future, once you've had some time to add more reports and grow a bit :) Good luck :) One more thing: I did not see any way to contact you on the site. No e-mail address, or feedback form. So I had to post my bug report and comments here :) One more bug: The browsers report showed 335,107 IE visitors. Google analytics for the same time period says 1.8 million visits by IE users.

Did you have more than a 1000 search terms ? - if so I think I figured out the bug, and it should be fixed now (as is the title bug). Unfortunately none of my sites have more than 1000 search terms (that's Google API's default for the max number of results returned) so I wasn't able to test that scenario. All the others suggestions are good too, I'll add them to my todo list. The difference in numbers might be because my report is showing unique visitors as opposed to GA which shows visits, if you switch to visitors in GA it should hopefully give you a closer number. As per privacy: I'm not saving any data (although I might in future for caching purposes to speed up performance), although I am storing the oauth key so you don't have to give permission every-time you visit the site. I won't share the data with anyone and I won't use the data for any purpose other than for producing the reports. I'll write up a proper privacy policy and link it from the site. I'm also bound by Google's API policy which legally prevents me from doing anything evil with the data without permission and is probably much more enforceable than a website privacy policy! The website actually only went live last night, so it's still got kinks I'm working on ironing out :)

  So I just tried to re-register with your site and got an Application Error. Tried to log in again, then it worked. I did indeed have more than 1000 search terms, and you have indeed fixed it. Nice job :)
