Reporting tools for web visits to show clients - reporting

I have a web portal in which I create content for different clients. For example, I have articles about dentist A, or car mechanic A, with each targeting different keywords on these pages.
Is there a reporting or web analytics tool that would allow me to create reports by keyword and/or certain webpages and allow clients to log in and see this information?
For example, a report that would show all the Dentist keywords, and another all keywords for Mechanic.
Currently I am using Google Analytics, but is not very user friendly for this type of reporting. What I am doing now is logging in to my GA account, creating a report for the keywords and emailing to client, which is not very efficient.
I am wondering if anyone knows about a pixel tracking reporting package out there for this need or any other way of getting the clients this information.

While searching online I found this link which gives you a list of the top free web analytics tools.
I choose to work with statcounter which is exactly what I was looking for. I can open a free account for a client and include their tracking script on individual pages.

YouTube API Quota Extension for research

I need an extension to my YouTube API quota allotment to conduct research for my dissertation. I have been trying to get an estimate of the available resources and costs for extensions for an NSF grant but have not been able to get in contact with a human for several weeks despite filing the quota extension form.
Currently, I've been trapped in a loop with the youtube API compliance team where they continuously ask me for the following info.
In order to proceed further, please provide us the following information:
Provide API Client link and demo credentials
Screenshots and/or video recording(s) that clearly demonstrates how your API Client and its users access and use the YouTube API Services.
Documents relating to your implementation, access and use of YouTube API Services.
I have attached the required responses mulitple times and still receive the same message. For the first I have attached my python code for accessing the API (the only usage of the service), the second I have attached the pictures of the terminal window and the data output, for the third I have attached the project summary, description, and data collection plan for the project plus the first paper I published using the limited quota on YouTube.
I've repeatedly asked to be connected with a human to go through their needs but have had no response. The project has received a great deal of interest in the Economics community and I am under a great deal of pressure to continue the work, it is very stressful for a graduate student to bear especially when barred by an automated response. Please help D:
The service tag is 1-0726000027117

Visual Studio Team Services - Code repository privacy

I've used Visual Studio Online Team Services as a code repository and want to know if it is possible for Microsoft Employees to see the code you upload if they wanted to.
The privacy policy doesn't address this specifically that I can see but it does say that Microsoft can use your data for advertising purposes and they can share it with third parties. If "data" means my proprietary code that would be good to know.
Customer Data will be used only to provide customer the Online Services including purposes compatible with providing those services. For example, we may use Customer Data to provide a personalized experience, improve service reliability, combat spam or other malware, or improve features and functionality of the Online Services. Microsoft will not use Customer Data or derive information from it for any advertising or similar commercial purposes. “Customer Data” means all data, including all text, sound, video, or image files, and software, that are provided to Microsoft by, or on behalf of, you or your end users through use of the Online Service. Customer Data is not Administrator Data, Payment Data, or Support Data. For more information about the features and functionality that enable you to control Customer Data, please review documentation specific to the Online Service.
No, not merely if they "want to". Microsoft does provide a clause that allows them access if it's required for security or site operation:
From time to time, Microsoft employees need to obtain access to customer data stored within Team Services. As a precaution, all employees who have or may ever have access to customer data must pass a background check, which verifies previous employment and criminal convictions. In addition, we permit access to the production systems only when there’s a live site incident or other approved maintenance activity, which is logged and monitored.
(From the Visual Studio Team Services Data Protection Overview document.
That being said, this is the most liberal interpretation of this access. I worked as a senior software engineer on the VSO version control team and there's no possibility for me to get access to customer data. If you complain about a bug in our git repository handling, I'm going to ask you if you can give me a copy that I can use to reproduce - I can't just go get it. And if you decline, then I will not be able to get your data.
So while yes, we Microsoft engineers do have the theoretical ability to get to your files, there are significant policy and security safeguards against access and abuse.

How to share/port a dashboard in QlikView over non-web content?

Background:
ETL on source data from Excel, Access, Sql Server '8, .txt files.
Data Cloud is created
Dashboard is in progress
I have searched online because I remember seeing a marketting demo video by QlikView that it's possible to share the dashboard among other users. Not just a snapshot image or pdf. The real dashboard as a working file.
If client pcs receive a link to connect to the same data cloud via web - that's easy.
But what I want to know, is it possible to package and "port" the entire working file with underlying data to another person? (I am not asking for zipping!)
Depending on if you've purchased a license for Qlikview, there are several ways to approach this... Best case scenario for you is if you and the client you want to send the .qvw to both have Named licenses, you can just send them the file and they'll be able to open it in their licensed Personal Edition. I'm imagining this is not the case since you mentioned they are clients and not colleagues within your organization.
You need to know that if the client or you do not own licenses, you will not be able to share a working version of your dashboard with them.
The common implementation would be purchasing Qlikview Server Software and then deploying a Qlikview server in the cloud that would handle incoming web requests and provide clients with an access point from which to access your dashboards (and underlying data). This solution requires you (or your company) to have purchased a set of licenses from Qlik as well as Server software.
You can review Qlik's license structure here. You may also want to review their End User License Agreement to make sure their model works for what you are trying to do.

Licensing for CRM 2013

I'm registering a new 2013 on-line and I notice that there are two license types:
1. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
2. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Professional
What's the difference between them (in short)? I've read the description and I get the impression like "this one is yellow and the other is a car", so I simply can't compare.
According to this article, there are three (not two) different models and only one allows customizing the system (so it's only that one that there's any point showing to the customers).
What's up with that?!
In short, the headlines are:
All three licences allow access to CRM from all available clients eg browser, outlook, tablet, phone. (This is a big difference from the 2011 ESS CAL).
All three licences allow read access to all data, including custom entities. (subject to Security Roles of course).
Essential allows read/write access to activities, activity feeds and custom entities.
Basic allows everything in Essential, plus read/write to Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Leads. Also access to reports, and to create personal charts and dashboards.
Pro allows everything. Most notably Sales and Marketing (Opportunity, Quote etc, Campaign, Marketing List), plus service management (facility/equipment and all that).
Pro is needed to build customisations, but not to use them, which is where I think some confusion has arisen.
If you are talking about user licences there appears to be three distinct types.
It was a bit confusing however my general belief is:
1) Professional
This would be the Administration users who need to customize the system, build processes, templates, administer CRM, and run marketing campaigns.
2) Basic
Would be suitable for general users (ie:- ones that just need to work with entities but don't need to do much else). They can't do marketing campaigns which might restrict people who are given this licence. However your day to day staff should be fine with this as they have general access to entities as well as Reports and Dashboards etc.
3) Essential
Has very little access to core entities (even Account and Contact) so unless you have a client who wants to work with only custom entities then this seems like a pointless licence.

Reporting / BI Framework for social websites

I'm looking for ideas / open source frameworks to use for creating individual Analytics for user profiles and all the other profile types. Users will have different custom metrics, businesses willl have seperate metrics, the admin section will have seperate, Advertises will have seperate, etc. So basically the goal is to have 1 framework in place for all Analytics, which will be custom user to user and even use that for the system analytic needs also. It will include data analytics as there will be user ratings/reviews to perfomr data mining on for businesses, USers will have basic reporting on their needs (like friend demographics, filter by different preferences, etc).
System is being developed in cakePhp.
Thanks.
Check out myDBR reporting tool. With myDBR you can easily create reports and include them into your application. myDBR is also written in PHP and can easily be integrated into any existing web-application via Single-Sign On authentication.
