I'm thinking that it's just going to be the first 12 hours of data gathering that will take so long. After that everything should be peachy. At least I hope so.
Does this work for anyone? Is Google analytics actually working for anyone yet? I installed on Tuesday and still no data of any kind. It still has the message about waiting 12 hours.
Well I'm not sure what happened, but I left both for about 12 hours came back and it had verified itself so both my SM and my blog are being counted now.
No data yet here. I believe the 12 hours might be good under normal circumstances, but since this is new and it was obvious that there servers were swamped yesterday, it might take longer. I know I am anxious to play with it.
Okay, I just saw Mike mention the 12. I didn't see it stated on the site, but then again I didn't look either :) But my previous statement stands, that under normal circumstances, but yesterday wasn't (Google wasn't prepared for the massive signup) Micheal
John, It may be working for you. Ignore the waiting for data and waiting 12 hours messages and just click on View Reports. I have been seeing reports for several days but the "waiting" messages have not gone away. Hope this works for you as well. Cheers,
