Google doesn't need access to your site, all the data that it tracks is sent via the urchin.js script...so so it is outbound traffic only. The one issue you might run into is if your firewall blocks that traffic, but that is doubtful. <br /> Just signup for it at https://www.google.com/analytics and place the code on a test page to check it out. It will take a day or so for the traffic to start showing up. Once you find it working you can work on getting it on all your pages via Master pages if you are running 2007. You can place the code in a Content Editor Web Part by the way, so it is very easy to test! <br /> Hope that helps. Hi Courtenay,
