How to recover deleted account from Google Analytics.

Posted Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:14 by admin

google analyticsWhat will you do if one day Google analytics account or profile of your website gets deleted. It happened with me ten days back and I was like blank when I realized that the statistics for my website are gone. It was during the course of adding another user (as an admin) that I mistakenly deleted one account / profile from the main user (administrator).

I goggled to find out the possible solution to recover the same but what I could gather is that once a account gets deleted it will not be recovered and if a profile gets deleted one can contact Google for recovering the data. My worst fears came true and a chill went through my spine when I found that I had indeed deleted an account and not a profile. I feared for my job, but thanks to a understanding and assuring Manager things were solved quite easily. I posted my problem in several forums like hundred others to get a solution. And i did got a solution and recovered the statistics for my deleted account. This is how I recovered the account.

First, the basic difference between a profile and an account (as most of us must be aware of) is that a profile is created under an account. or an account can have one or many profiles. Once an account gets deleted all the profiles inside that accounts also gets deleted automatically. Secondly, after an account gets deleted all the administrators for that particular account will get a mail from Google like the one below:

Hello,

We want to alert you that the Google Analytics account  abc.com has been deleted by asdf.aab.com. Please tell non-Administrative users of this account that the account has been deleted.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
The Google Analytics Team

Now the solution is:
If you are an adwords customer, you can be rest assured that your account will get restored in no time. What you have to do is to log into your AdWords account and click on the Analytics email support options. (this is what i had done)

You can also write to: "AdWords Support" <adwords-support@google.com> 

You can also post your problem in the forum

and can also visit:
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact_policy

However, please note, for the time when the profile remained deleted, you will not see any data in the profiles.

how to know which e-mail adress is conected with the g-analytics

I have a question: How to understand whose profile is that? I mean I need to know with whose google e-mail account is connected, because I work for a week in a company as an online marketing manager, and I saw in the company's web site code the tracing code of an paralytics account, but no one in the company knows who opened and registered this account and on whose email account. The tracking code is:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-18851033-2']);

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {

var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;

ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);

})();

Well, as far as I know, there

Well, as far as I know, there is no option through which you can know the email id with which a google analytics account is associated.

I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..
