    Google Analytics - New Free Tool!

    http://www.google.com/analytics/

    Did not see anything on this here yet so I figured i would post as I know all of you would be interested.

    Introducing Google Analytics.
    Sophisticated. Easy. Free.


    Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. You'll be able to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve your site to convert more visitors.

    Sophisticated, yet easy to use.

    We believe that web analytics should be simple and sophisticated at the same time. We've designed Google Analytics to have enterprise level capabilities and yet still be accessible to anyone who wants to improve their marketing and site design. Google Analytics delivers all the features you'd expect from a high-end web analytics offering, and provides timesaving AdWords integration features.
    Integrated with AdWords.

    If you have an AdWords account, you can use Google Analytics directly from the AdWords interface. Google Analytics is the only product that can automatically provide AdWords ROI metrics, without you having to import cost data or add tracking information to keywords. Of course, Google Analytics tracks all of your non-AdWords initiatives as well.
    Free.

    Google Analytics gives us an opportunity to invest in our advertisers and everyone else who wants to create quality content on the web. Instead of spending money on web analytics, you can focus on creating targeted, ROI-driven marketing campaigns, and on improving your site design and content.

    Wow, thats great. Urchin stats cost 199 USD/month up to 100,000 pageviews, additional 99 USD/month if you have more than that. (I have about 700,000 pageviews/month) so I will try this out.

    Would you paste the code in the headinclude of your style?

    And by the way, Thanks

    All it is, is just a small javascript include code.

    Re: Google Analytics - New Free Tool!

    I cant activate it for the time being, Google says they can not find the tracking code, and I tried various positions inside the code, including between the head tags. Yesterday it was closed for service so I guess they are still working on some parts, so just be patient few days and try again I guess.

    I have added mine to the header and it was detected fine.

    I can only assume that with the upgrade of accounts from Urchin to Google Analytics that there where some bugs with the system, try rechecking the code you where requested to add and wait the required 12 hours.

    Mine shows installed in the headinclude:

    Waiting for data: www.glorifythepast.com
    Analytics has been successfully installed and data is being gathered now. Your first reports will be ready within twelve hours.
    But now it's been more than 12 hours.
