I’ve been using Google Analytics for the past 2 years, I’ve added it as one of my standard to-do’s everytime I develop a website or a blog for my friends and clients. You should consider to install one for yourself, the installation process is very easy and the benefits are really great specially if you want to monitor your website’s performance. You can know more about Google Analytics right here.


Google Analytics is an online facility for obtaining traffic analysis of your website. Originally developed for their Adwords PPC advertising it has now been extended and made available to all sites. Operation requires a Google account and the addition of a piece of JavaScript tracking code to all pages of your site that you wish to have information about.

One of the many tools available to you if you have Google Analytics installed on your website is the ability to have Google email you your website’s visitor performance/behaviour as a PDF file attachment by email. Yes, you can view them online, but for quick references and records purposes you would want to file it as a PDF document.

Assuming you do have Google Analytics installed, follow these simple steps.

STEP 1: Login to your Google Analytics account using your Google password.

STEP 2: At the dashboard, click on “View Reports”

STEP 3: Click on “Email” at the left area of the screen

STEP 4: Select wether you want a weekly report or a monthly report.

STEP 5: Fill in the information needed, like email addresses to send the PDF file to, schedule to email, the file format and click on save.

    This is awesome, thank you!

    Wanted to make one comment on a problem I had. When I clicked on the ‘Email’ link in the left hand column, it took me to the Email Account Settings, but didn’t give me the options to do anything.

    Instead, I clicked on the Email image link link under the ‘Dashboard’ headline on the initial page after you click ‘View Reports’.

    @Randy found out to have the same. I think the screenshot in STEP3 needs to be updated to avoid confusion. that link only ‘works’ when you already have email settings set up.
