Creating a Google Account

Creating A Google Account

You can sign up for a Google account through the main Google web page. Go to www.google.com and click the Sign In link in the top right-hand corner of the page.

On the page that appears, you’ll see a sign-in dialog box where you can enter your username and password. You won’t have that information yet. Instead, click the link that says Create one for free.

On the next page, you’ll enter your sign-up information. You’ll be asked for your e-mail address, password, location, and a verification word. Once you’ve entered that information, read and accept the terms of service, and then click I Accept. Create my Account.

Note: You do not need to use a gmail e-mail address. You can use your normal business or personal email address.

Google sends out a confirmation e-mail for new accounts.  Within a few minutes you should receive a confirmation e-mail. When you do, click through the link in the e-mail to activate your account.  Once that’s complete you’ll have an active Google account.

Accessing Google Analytics

After you create a Google Account, notify your Google Analytics administrator of the email address that you used to create the account. The administrator will need to activate your access and notify you that this has been completed.

With your Google account, you can now access Google Analytics.  Go to http://www.google.com/analytics/ and log in using your email address and password.
