Still Waiting to See Google Analytics Reports

• Posted by Badi Jones on November 15th, 2005 - Comment on this Post »

Its been over 36 hours since I signed up for a Google Analytics account, and every time I try to view my reports, I see a message that says:

Analytics has been successfully installed and data is being gathered now. Your first reports will be ready within twelve hours.

Well I just saw this post over at SearchEngineWatch forums that explains everything:

Hello,

Thank you for your email and your patience.

We have received your report regarding the problem with the “Check Status” alert update. Our engineers are currently working to solve the problem and hope to reach a resolution shortly. This will not affect data collection or report generation if you have already tagged your website with the Google Analytics Tracking Code.

Additionally, I understand that you aren’t seeing data in your reports, even though your tracking code has been set up for over six hours. We apologize for any inconvenience. We have collected your data since you installed the tracking code on your site, and are continuing to collect this data throughout the day.

We are currently in the process of creating reports from your data. You should be able to see your reports populated with data later today. Please note that this reporting delay is associated with unexpected demand for Google Analytics. Under normal circumstances, the data in your reports will be at most six hours old.

For additional questions, please visit the Analytics Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/analytics. If you’re unable to find an answer to your question on our site, please feel free to reply to this email.

Sincerely,
Analytics Support

It’s what I expected. There was such a huge buzz about the whole thing.
