Hello All,
How long analytics keep the data for one website?
- at least two years
- at least 25 months
- other
I guess that they guarantee at least 25 months, but it might be more.
Anyone has any other suggestion?Thanks,

Hello guys..thanks for your answer.
Option No. 2 is the best fit for it. Analytics data will remain in account for at least the past 25 months. Anna from the Google Analytics team said, "data is stored for at least 25 months," when using Google Analytics.
Thanks a lot.

We seem to have data going back almost to the launch of analytics under the Google brand. No sign of data being deleted yet.

The account I manage has got data stored from 2007

I have data still in my account from 5 years ago. I think they guarantee 25 months, but since archiving data over the last few years has been dropping fast they probably don't make a habit of deleting anyone's data anymore.

If you search the forums there are reports of 25 months back in 2009 as a minimum, it would not surprise me that they have been expanding since then like they do for storage on other products.
I have an account with GA data going back to August 2008 to current - so that is almost 4 years.

Tracking Google places (7 pack listing) traffic in google analytics
Is there a way to see Google Places traffic (traffic from users clicking through the 7 pack listings) segmented in Google analytics ? Normally is it just lumped together with the organic traffic ? Can you see the search phrases used to find your site, or do they also show up under 'not provided' when from Google Places. Im aware i can see some limited data in the Google Places analytics, but these seem to be 2 days behind when ever i view them.

Google Analytics Showing Inflated Product Revenue
Hi- For the month of Feb on two of our sites we are seeing inflated product revenues. I have not seen this before and I am not having any luck searching for answers. Here is the issue: Product B sells for $159.95 For the month of Feb we sold 3 thus revenue should be ~$479.85 GA is showing Product B's revenue at $3,360.00 I read online that sometimes folks will bookmark the receipt page and that can cause this and we would need to put a catch in place for this but I am guessing this is not the case as it is happening on two sites. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Wordpress + Google Analytics = Pulling My Hair Out
Hey Mozzers, Quick question for you- I have analytics set-up for a personal site I run and I know, verifiably it's receiving traffic, however, whenever I access my Google Analytics dashboard, it says I've had zero visits. Interestingly, today I had a colleague check the site from a foreign country and I could see the page views (within 15 minutes), however, I could not get any information about the site viewer. I have verified that the Analytics profile is 'receiving data' (which it is) and my Google Webmaster Tools is not reporting any issues? Finally, I went ahead and updated my profile so that it is pulling from 'www.mydomain.com' instead of 'mydomain.com', I don't know if that'll make any difference, but likewise, I didn't want to go and create the 'little kid in the elevator' analogy, where I'm just pressing a bunch of buttons just because they're there. So the only changes I've made thus far were deactivating Yoast's SEO plug-in and manually placing the GA code in the header and updating the 'Website's URL' in the profile settings tab of GA from 'mydomain.com' to 'www.mydomain.com'. With that, I am stumped and praying another one of the esteemed Mozzers out there may be able to help me resolve this. Any thoughts?
