I would like to retrieve global stats from Google Analytics. If not directly via an API, then doing HTTP requests and RegEx. However, I can't seem to find any place to gather such data. Where are the global stats? Obviously we talk about anonymous statistics that should not be against Google's policies.
Looks like they will be providing a comparison newsletter for those that "opt in" to anonymous stats. http://analytics.blogspot.com/2011/03/evolution-of-analytics-benchmarking.html
