If you don't want to have to remember to login to your Google Analytics dashboard on a regular basis, you can set up reports to be emailed to you on a regular basis.
Here's how to do it.
1. Login to Google Analytics
2. From the Audience Overview screen, click on 'Email' located in the grey bar just underneath the "Audience Overview" title.
3. In the screen that pops up:
- Enter the email address you want to receive the reports
- Click the drop- down next to attachments and pick the format you want to receive them in - I prefer PDFs in these cases
- Select how often you want to recieve them and on what day
- In the advanced options you can add a message such as "Here's your monthly Audience Overview report from Google analytics"
- Click on Send
If you want other reports such as Traffic Sources, navigate to the report you want (from the Google Analytics menu) as you would to view the report on screen, and follow the same process.
If you have custom reports setup, you can do the same thing also.
