 |

|
Although I was surprised that they were no longer accepting nebbie's (probably because of the rush to implement the technology) I have to say that Google Analytics is one of the best...site counters that I have discovered.
Although most site/stat counters will tell you the basics, such as who came to your site, who was forwarded to your site, etc., Google goes even further by breaking down which key word searches in Google, Yahoo, etc. are drawing traffic towards your site.
It also lets you know from what networks people are coming from, which states (in the US) and countries, as well as charting your daily growth (or decline) from several different angles.
The only bad part about it is that their image chart/graph is not displaying, but besides that it has become quite useful.
Hopefully they will open it up to the rest of the world soon...it seems that Google has invaded the world of web stats.

Definitely it's one of the best traffic analysis services, it was
acommercial service ($200 per month) provided by Urchin before
googlebought them.
The
only trick here is what do they do with your website logs? I meanthey
giving for "free" a really outstanding tool, that is not even
adsupported, so there must be a trick...

There's no trick. They're just continuing their mission, to collect all the information in the world. They're getting enough money from shares and adwords.. (they only give away 78,5% to AdSense publisher), so I'm sure they don't have cash problems.. Don't worry, wolfgang, Google won't crash because of Analytics, so feel free to sign-up for an account I've just received my invitation code 2 days ago.  haha, googlenalaytics r0xx0rz :^)

As has been mentioned often in this forum, there is no invitation system like some other Google services.
You sign up, and wait for them to 'invite' you.

I still prefer statcounter Their stats are instantaneuos - there is no delay of 24 hrs like analytics Also they provide detailed paths of last 100 visitors. Otherwise, analytics are not bad.

I have been using analytics and I have been blown away. Imagine if an evil company like microsoft had their hands on a web-app like this...
How much per month do you think it would cost? If the cost to usefulness of Word is any indication probably 2,000 bucks a month for an educational non-profit account.

Gr8 Stuff, As soon as I read this article I just went to google analytics and registered there for my site. It is really worth. I suggest others to have a glance at it.

I use Google Analytics for multiple web sites. I have found one fault of the graphs: it's very difficult to change the default date range in FireFox on Linux. I've tried it on FireFox on Windows and it works.
Google Analytics does a great job in displaying a lot of details. Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing on displaying the relevant results.
I would much rather prefer an executive summary that can be quickly be configured, rather than an executive summary that it's hard to configure like the current one.
Anyhow, it's a great piece of web application!

| It's been a helpful aid when someone asks what kind of traffic the site is getting. Easier to take a screenshot of the dashboard that gives a nice succinct overview that's easy to follow. |
