Top Greasemonkey Scripts for Google Analytics
Before I talk about the top Greasemonkey scripts for Google Analytics, let me introduce Greasemonkey to you. Greasemonkey is a Firefox Addon that allows you to change different elements on a website through Javascript. As people make scripts to modify websites, they can share them with others, allowing you many options for modifying websites.

Alright, now that basics are out of the way, here are the top Greasemonkey scripts for Google Analytics (in no particular order):
1) Social Media Metrics For Google Analytics
Google Analytics shows many valuable stats for webmasters to see how well their site is doing. But, it doesn’t show many other metrics that are valuable in this Web 2.0 world, namely, social media metrics. Now you can see how many Diggs, Sphinns, Mixx Votes, Reddit Points, StumbleUpon reviews, Del.icio.us saves, and Yahoo inlinks. This is a valuable tool, and much easier to digg into your individual pages, in order to see how many backlinks you have for each of your internal pages.

2) Keyword Trends in Google Analytics
When doing niche marketing, the goal is to rise to the top of the search engines for certain keywords. Do you want to be able to know when you’ve rose higher in the search engines for the keywords you’re targeting and therefore getting more traffic? Well, with the Keyword Trends in Google Analytics Greasemonkey script, you can! It shows you the Keywords that have received 20% higher traffic over the last week. It also shows you which ones have dropped. This can be greatly valuable for finding keywords that you weren’t targetting, that you’re receiving traffic for. That way, you can optimize for those terms, and get even more traffic! This plugin also shows you an increase in visits from referring sites too.

3) Auto Access Google Analytics
Recently, Google made it quicker to access Google Analytics, not requiring you to login for Analytics specifically, if you are already logged into your Google account. All you have to do is press a blue button that says “Access Analytics.” Well, they say, “Time is money,” so to speed up your time when viewing Google Analytics, here is an awesome Greasemonkey script for Google Analytics that will automatically press that button for you, saving you some time and hand movements. It may not save too much time, but for the Analytics freak who accesses their web analytics many times a day, this can save a lot of time.
