Is Google already upgrading their Analytics service ? I tried to logon to the site and saw this funny message:
“Thanks for stopping by. We are currently migrating existing customers to the newly improved Google Analytics service. This process will be completed later this afternoon. Please come back then to sign up for Google Analytics.”
Web analystics software vendors wake up – Google introduced Google Analytics. They utilize the Urchin software for this new service, the company Google bought earlier this year. Google Analytics is described as:
“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.”
An interesting piece of licence text:
