** Philosophies **
- Reduce the number of queries to Google
- Maximize the data we collect in each query
- Query as fast as possible
** Crazy ideas **
- So if GA allows us to have up to 10 qps, 4 simultaneous connections per IP .. why not use them all?
- Somehow keep a count of queries. Raise warnings if it gets too close to the daily limit.
- When collecting goal metrics have a method that will get 10 metrics at a time then return the entire collection at once to minimize query but so the programmer doesn't have to stitch all the results back together for persistance purposes.
- Add a "manual" query method - in other words, make your own query string. If the programmer wants to do something crazy (or be lazy).
- Default to return 10,000 records at once. It takes Google only a little longer, why not?
- Return stuff in ActiveRecord - make it easier for me to save stuff.
- Write testing stuff
- Steal Garb's report class idea but make it a predefined query string so I'm not locked into making classes for everything.
