I looked through the parse.ly homepage and even in the source code of the blog post, can someone answer a quick question: How does parse.ly actually work? Do you sign up for Google Analytics and open it to them to they get the data from there? Or do you embed a piece of javascript from parse.ly which tracks the referers, etc. in their database? I did not want to sign up just to learn this and there was no technical information or FAQ on the homepage or I overlooked it! Thanks!

You embed our JavaScript tracker on your site. It's integrated similarly to Google Analytics. See http://parse.ly/api/tracker.html http://parse.ly/api/tracker.html for more technical information on our JavaScript tracker. Sorry that you couldn't find that information easily -- I'll try to think about how to make it clearer on the website.
