I think I remember reading in Google's blog that they have over 1 trillion sites indexed (1,000,000,000,000)!!

I remember how back in the day Google used to list, below the search box, how many sites it had indexed. Does anyone know what this number is today? And what the number is in total, for all search engines? Finally, assuming not all websites are indexed by search engines - how many websites are "on the Internet/ World Wide Web" in total?

Curious to hear your answer/ thoughts/ opinions

Yes, the only way is to create a separate account. Now when they log in, they'll see two accounts, the old one and the new one they created. As long as you update the Analytics tracking code, there shouldn't be a gap in reporting.

Is there a way to elevate a Google Analytics user to administrator without having them have access to all the reports in my account? Right now I keep seeing the warning that they'll have access to all the reports in my account, which is ridiculous. The only other option I have is to merely let them "view reports," but they need to be able to syn up their Adwords account.

Do I need to start over and create a separate Google Analytics account just for them?

One of our websites has reached a good amount of steady traffic, and we're making quite a bit of income from online ads and affiliate relationships.

At this point, I would like to donate a portion of proceeds to charities. I have yet to do the research and find out exactly which charities we support, but I also want to get an idea of how much money (ie. what percentage) people typically donate to charity. What's the minimum and max?

I imagine that ranges from as little as 5% all the way up to half of site profits. Remember - this is a for profit site, not created for the sole purpose of donating to charity. But we feel like we are making enough that we would like to share some with charities related to the content of our website.

Any ideas?
