I've tried to do that but that give admin rights to ALL ocamlpro websites. I've also tried to create a new account, to give it the admin access, and then removed my account as a admin on ocaml.org: result I've lost all admin acces to all ocamlpro account, and the fresh account has admin access to all ocamlpro account. That's very bad.

> This only exposes the ocaml.org tracking and nothing else within the overall GoogleID (e.g I'm tracking about 6 sites under my gmail ID and some of them are shared some not).  Thomas, you can test this with other folks in OCamlPro to confirm the behaviour first.

I would advise you to double-check who has admin rights on your website then ...

> I dont understand what you mean by "create a distinct google analytics account for each website".  My last experience with GA is that it pretty much forces you to do this for each tracking code you create.  You can then share admin rights or add different users, independently of your other 'accounts'.  Am I wrong about this? I actually don't see how you could use GA any other way.

You can track multiple website under each account, but then you can't migrate websites between accounts but the admin rights work at the account level, not the websites.
