I'm looking for a way to hone my skills and demonstrate to potential employers that I have some proficiency with Google Analytics - is the
Individual Qualification worth paying for? Are there other, better options?

Trying to figure out what gives with a Google Analytics anomaly for the website I manage. In essence, GA reports that the average time mobile users spent on a page increased tenfold in the last month.

I have a MediaWiki installation on new hardware to replace an old public website. Occasionally someone visits the site using a dead link and gets MediaWiki's "There is currently no text in this page". I can customize the message they get, but how can I get a notification (ideally with Google Analytics custom variables) whenever this happens,
without using GA's standard Javascript?

An outside partner I've allowed non-admin access to my Google Analytics account wants to connect its AdWords account to my Google Analytics account. I don't currently use AdWords, but it's a future possibility. What are the ramifications of allowing them to do this? Will it affect my own ability to connect my own or other AdWords accounts to GA in the future? Will that linkage affect my own reporting?

I'm seeing a weird drop in August in search-related traffic to my company's site. What's odd is it is for searches of the company's name, domain name or URL.

Google Analytics Filter: I started off with Google Analytics tracking an initial domain -- let's say mypaperplane.com. Some time after, I added a new domain to forward to the same site/server, mypaperplane
S.com.
Now as I look at my Analytics, I'm seeing only data corresponding to the original domain, and not for the new domain. Is there any way I can pull up data such that it shows visits coming from the new domain? Or is that data forever lost into the ether? Any help is greatly appreciated.

How can I make Google Analytics + event tracking work from without a webapp-as-native-application on the iPhone? I think it doesn't report a domain.

I have a little blog about HR/work. I am running profiles on people who are looking for jobs, to help them get their name out there. This morning, I broke my blog, right when the first profile was taking off.
Somehow, the unholy trinity of wordpress, google gears, and google analytics stripped my site of all styling and now I can't log in to the admin backend to fix it.

I use Google Analytics to track traffic to my crappy little writing blog. On Wednesday, I had 20 visits from 13 visitors. On Thursday, I had 99 visits from 89 visitors, of whom 95% were "direct link" visitors. This is obviously nonsense. What on Earth happened?
