Google Analytics

Instead of continuing Urchins activities, Google lauched Google Analytics – which in short is Urchin for free. Until now, I’ve been playing with Statcounter, which also is free but with a limited log file size.

I started using Google Analytics last week, and until now I am very happy with the detail of the data, although the interface is not as intuitive as Statcounters (The interfaces of pay-to-use tools, Traceworks and Webtrends are also better).

More thoughts on Google’s motvation for offering free web statistic tools:

    Oh dear, rather long comment lost due to browser crash…

    Short version:
    I am aware of the fact that Google is aiming for world domination and that helping them along isn’t going to postpone that.

    On the other side, I am quite happy with the fact that Google directs a lot of focus to traffic analysis as it is a good way to improve website content – or, in my case, at least a nice way to see that someone actually reads what I ramle on about.

    Some people omit commenting on posts they read…
