Problems Linking Google Analytics and Adwords Account

Hi,
I have an AdWords MCC account, I have two clients. I want to link these clients to Google Analytics.
My MCC account mail has no Google Analytics account set up, as I don't have a website of my own.
When I go to the "Linked Accounts" section, I'm asked to sign up to an Analytics account, then I'm asked to provide the website I wish to track. But this account has no website to link to, and I don't want to link my MCC account to a clients site, as I want to track a few clients in Analytics.
What am I doing wrong, should I create new Analytics accounts for my clients and then attempt a link ?
Thanks for the help,
Roy.

You will need to add your MCC email as an administrator (with full privileges) of the GA accounts. Once you do that you will be able to link them.
If the GA accounts don't exist, you'll need to set them up - one for each client - and add the code to their webpages. Obvioulsy, if you set up these new accounts you will automatically be the administrator. However, it makes sense (going forward) for each client to have their own GA account and add you as a user, since it is generally a better practice to make sure that clients have all their digital collateral in their own name.

First you create or signup for a Google analytic account using same mcc's mail id. you don't need a website for this.
Once you get your Google analytic account, ask your clients to give analytic access to your mcc's Google analytic account(if they have Google analytic enabled).
Now you can linked Google analytic account to Google Adword account.
If your clients don't have Google analytic accounts you can create a new account for your client from your Google analytic. Go through this doc https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1009694?hl=en#AddAccount
Hope this help!
Thanks
