100 Cities that use Google Analytics

Why would I care well since the GA control panel can give out so much information I have written each of the cities asking for permission to be add to the security of GA with my Gmail account. This task takes less then 5 minutes and should give no private information.

Being in control of GA account for a city I know that is I often wonder is this number average or is there room for improvement seeing other cities gives you a really good idea of usage.

Then it become interest exercise to see how easy or hard it is to get a response from a city website is. I mean in the age of social media this should be the easiest of things.

Here is the letter that I sent to the following cities.

Taking a look at your website I would like to thank you for all the hard work I know has had to go into it. I am doing some research about traffic to city websites and noticed that you used Google Analytics. Understanding that web traffic is public information I would like to make a request that could be answered in a couple different ways.

I would request to be added to the google analytics account with VIEW only rights. so I may do extended research with out having to make each request to your office.

If this is not possible I would ask to be give in PDF form a copy of the main dashboard for your city once a month for the next year.

If that is not possible then a report of web traffic for your city.

Thank You in Advance.
