It’s very simple to use… You just need to access the following URL:

And this screen will appear (below I’ll explain how to make this service look like an application and even make a special desktop shortcut):

If you press Login, you’ll be taken to the Google Apps site, which will ask you for your login information (unless you’re already logged in):

Notice: as this application was developed using the Google Analytics API, your login information does not go through the NeoEGM.com site, so there’s no way to record it. The Javascript source code is available for you to check it out.

After that, the Permission Grant screen will appear…

You must press the “Grant access” button in order for the analytics statistics data to be accessed by the application. Again: there’s absolutely no harm in doing this since there’s no record at all being saved by the NeoEGM.com site.

After the “Grant access” button has been pressed, you’ll get the account listing screen…

There, you have to choose the desired account to monitor. You can also easily copy the account link to bookmark it or to access it directly whenever you want (without having to pass through the accounts screen)… This is very useful when you have a bunch of sites to monitor and want to open all the links at the same time…

Anyway, I recommend opening one of them first, to do all the authentication stuff, and then open all the remaining ones…

Well, finally, we’ll get to the visits screen, which show today’s and yesterday’s visits and pageviews…

It’ll get automatically updated each 5 minutes… So you can the window open and look it from time to time… Of course, you must take into account that the Google Analytics service does not refresh its internal data each time a user visits your site… It may take several minutes (usually 1 hour) for you to see changes in your visits…

Well, that’s all about the application… Below are further instructions to make it have a more friendly interface…

As usual, Google Analytics Visits is licensed under the GNU GPL v3…

Security tip: if, for any reason, you ever wanted to revoke the access you have granted to any web application to access your Google data, you can visit the “change authorized sites” Google Accounts facility.

How to convert it into an application (or at least make it look like one :))

As you will have probably noticed in the previous screenshots, there was was no address bar, navigation buttons, status bar nor anything related with a browser in the windows I’ve shown. How did I do that?

There is an excellent Firefox add-in called Prism which lets you convert any website into a desktop application. It does even create the shortcuts for you!

How does it work?

Well, first of all, you need to have the Firefox browser and install the Prism extension:

After that, you have to access the URL you want to convert into an application and go to Tools->Convert Website to Application…

Then, you’ll get to the Prism application configuration dialog…

There, you have to configure how you wish your new application to behave (in this case, it won’t have anything related to a browser and will create a Desktop shortcut icon)…

And that’s all! You’ll have your Google Analytics Visits desktop shortcut icon…

Enjoy it
