Google Analytics

Today I've just been invited to create a Google Analytics account. I've created it and chosen option 2 because I don't have an AdWords account. Actually, I requested Google Analytics since I knew Google bought Measure Map three months ago. I did request Measure Map account but what I've just got is Google Analytics account. It means both are the same.

Hello,

We are ready for you to create your Google Analytics account! Please follow the instructions below to redeem your invitation code.

Notice: If your site receives more than 5 million pageviews per month, you must have a linked AdWords account with at least one active campaign. Use Option 1 below to automatically link your AdWords account.

If your site receives more than 5 million pageviews per day, please contact us by replying to this message before signing up so that we can ensure proper capacity planning.

Option 1: If you have an AdWords account

Signing up for Analytics is easy to do through your AdWords account:

That's it, you're done! Skip to the bottom of this message.

Option 2: If you don't have an AdWords account

To sign up without an AdWords account, you'll need to first make sure that you have a free Google Account before continuing with the sign-up process.
