 paying an SEO outfit, which I believe has been feeding them lies and milking them for money.
I can see that all pages in the site have Google Analytics.  However, the SEO outfit refuses to let us see the Analytics page, and has always just forwarded them some (presumably doctored) slideshows.
The only tracking service that lists their site is Compete, which shows a number of visitors far from what they are paying for.
I would like to add their site to my own Analytics account. I have ftp access to their server, and permission from the site owners to modify any files I want.
However, I don't want to do anything that might destroy the entire existing history of analytics data, or even that would interfere with the current SEO outfit [until I have something concrete in-hand].
Does anyone know:


*

*Can I add Analytics to my own account when it was originally setup by someone else? 

*Will there be any negative results of attempting this?

*Any other ideas?


Thanks
Edit: Can anyone suggest a better title - I can tell mine is not good?

A: I've put two Google Analytics tracking codes from different accounts on the same site without issues. It may cause the site to be a tiny bit slower (as it communicates twice with Google) but it'll do nothing that would delete old data or impede collection of new data.
In short, what you're doing sounds like a good first step.
You will not, however, be able to access past data by doing this. You will be able to compare their numbers with the numbers you're getting, though, which should be valuable.

A: I don't know if you can add the same domain to two different Google Analytics accounts (easy enough to try, though), but you can always add another service's Javascript snippet, e.g. Woopra. Google and Woopra produced very similiar results in my experiments.

A: You may want to leave their Google Analytics tracking in place while adding your own Google Analytics tracking. In that case, your numbers should be identical to whatever is being tracked by this third party.
You'll need to set up your own account and then add in the creation of your pagetracker object and your own track page view. You don't need to recreate the entire page code. You can do it with two more lines. It would look something like:
var pageTracker =
_gat.getTracker("UA-XXXXXXXX-1"); //EXISTING pageTracker._trackPageView();

var secondTracker =
_gat.getTracker("UA-XXXXXXXX-1"); //YOUR TRACKING ACCOUNT secondTracker._trackPageView();

Peter Kennedy rounds up the academy-related news from Rovers’ retained list…
A number of U23 regulars have had their registration extended, with Dan Pike’s extension arguably the best news of the lot. The 19-year-old has cemented his place in Billy Barr’s side this term after being a key player in the FA Youth Cup side that reached the semi-finals last season, as well as being part of the senior matchday squad on three occasions.
Also in the aforementioned Youth Cup side, Sam Burns, Jalil Saadi and Sam Durrant have all had their registration extended, as have defensive duo Louie Annesley – Gibraltar international – and Sam Barnes.
Meanwhile, five players have been offered their first professional deals this summer. Goalkeeper Aidan Dowling has been a regular for the U18s in between the sticks in the second half of the season, and he could become part of the U23s this season if either ‘keeper heads out on loan.

Full-back Lenni Cirino, midfielder Jared Harlock and forwards Zak Gilsenan and Alex Baker have all spent part of the season with the U23s, and the quartet have been offered their first professional deals, with a view to securing a regular spot in Billy Barr’s side.
Defender Joe Ferguson and forward Brandon Lonsdale have both had injury hit seasons, leading to Rovers extending their scholarships into a third year for 2021-22.
In terms of outgoings, three scholars will leave the club this summer. Defenders James Connolly – who had an injury hit year last season – and George Wyatt, plus midfielder Ben Pleavin have all departed, wishing them the best for their careers.
After seven years at the club, spending time as captain of the U23s side, Stefan Mols will leave Rovers in the summer with a large sense of what could have been after making his debut in 2017. That sentiment also resonates with the departures of defensive duo Lewis Thompson and Joe Grayson, who have both been involved with the senior side in pre-season camps, but they couldn’t make the step-up.
Also departing are midfielders Ben Paton, Brad Lyons and Tom White, the latter two having spent time out on loan in the fourth and fifth tiers of England respectively this season.
We’d like to wish those departing all the best in their careers.

With courses of study in the history of art and the practice of studio art (or a combination of history and practice), each major is designed to train students to develop the technical, conceptual, critical, and historical tools they need to engage the visual world.
Students majors follow one of three routes through the department—art history, studio art or history & practice—to complete ten courses and fulfill the major requirements as outlined on each page. Art history students take classes in Lawrence Hall, while studio art students work in the W. L. S. Spencer Studio Art Building.
For examples of what our majors have studied and created, visit our showcase of student work.
Throughout human history visual media have been integral to how societies have expressed and understood themselves and how they have constructed their respective worlds. Art and architecture are shaped by humanity’s evolving historical, socio-political, religious, and aesthetic experience and in turn shape our interpretations of that experience, our own as well as that of other peoples and cultures across time and space. Thus the study and practice of art is central to the humanistic enterprise of a liberal arts education. The insights and skills students gain from such visual training build strong analytical tools for understanding history, the diversity of cultures, and our contemporary world.
The Art Department of Williams College, through its majors in art history and studio practice, is dedicated to the critical, creative, and practical study of visual expression in its expanded field—from traditional media of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and architecture to photography, cinema, installation, video, digital media, and performance art. Students with deep, interdisciplinary interests in both wings of the department can choose the history and practice route to the major, allowing them to combine diverse avenues of study, including, but not limited to, a focus on particular media (including performance), themes, and methodologies.
In studio, we teach students form, technique, thematic ideas, and theory to support their ability to generate new tones, meanings, feelings and forms. In art history, we teach students approaches to understanding and thinking critically about the ways in which visual arts produce, reproduce, or resist social and aesthetic meanings. In doing so we recognize that as a discipline art history is itself part of the historical process that it studies, and that it therefore poses ever evolving questions to the art of the past as well as of the present.
In our estimation, the dynamic and complicated interdisciplinary relationship between the study of works in history and their genesis in the present makes what we do collectively unique to the college.Students take a break while getting ready for the Lights On! program. Standing on the stage, from left, are Zoey Ball, Rebecca Kyer, Kassidy Simmons, Noah Beardsley, Joey Sargent and Sean Correa; kneeling, Morgan Moulton; on the floor from left, Serena Hannett, Sarah Rheaume and Dakota Rebello.
On the evening of Oct. 20, the Haverhill Cooperative Middle School (HCMS) cafeteria was filled with families, friends and community members who came together to celebrate the fact that HCMS has a high quality afterschool program for its students. This celebration coincided with thousands of other Lights On! rallies held throughout the country that same evening to raise awareness about the importance of afterschool programs.
Those attending saw displays and performances done by the students who attend the Haverhill Extended Learning Program (HELP). Over 80 students are enrolled in HELP, which has served the children of HCMS for 9 years. Students who attend this program receive assistance with their homework and attend a wide variety of enrichment classes. The program, which meets from 3-5 p.m. each afternoon, also provides a snack and a late bus.
Martha Jenkins, the program's director, coordinates the services of the many adults and agencies who work in the program. Currently the program's partners include the Haverhill Police Department, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, the Horse Meadow Senior Center, the Woodsville/Wells River Rotary Club, and the Haverhill Recreation Department. Several teachers and support staff from the school district join with other adults from the community to provide the homework assistance and instruction each afternoon.
