Google Offers Free Web Analytics
Google announced yesterday that they are now offering free web analytics. I was extremely pleased to hear this. While I have not been actively looking for it I have hoped that I would find some good free web analytics tools and now my hopes have been realized.
I just set-up an account and put the tracking code on my sites this afternoon, but I still don’t have any data to look at. In the coming days I’ll be playing around with it a little more as I get some data rolling in. I’m so excited!
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try out Omniture’s SiteCatalyst as part of the BYU Web Analytics Competition. It is more of an enterprise web analytics solution, but I am interested to see how Google Analytics compares.
I’m already getting impressed with Google Analytics, after waiting for the results for about 24 hours.
