Saw a related thread, and had to ask because it's been on my mind for a while now...
How amazing is it that Google Analytics is free?

shush !! they are gonna read your post and start charging for itComment

its free unless you have a big site, then they ask you to buy advertising, or at least they used too, i believe there is some enhanced version as well that costs money
Also not exactly free, you are letting them see your entire business strategy, imagine the power of having access to the top million sites on the net.. lol
There would be no doubt in any move you make.. its kinda scaryComment

I would NEVER use it on any site of mine that I actually cared about.

This is how I feel as well. Google has never been a search engine company, they've always been a data mining company. Data and demographics are their primary business, so you are actually trading your private information in exchange for stats software

It's amazing... specially now that Mr.Codey hooked me up with a way to export thousands of keywords without going through the default page by page process.
Free or not, Analytics is awesome.Comment

Google Analytics is not free. It doesn't cost you anything to use but in return you are sending information to Google about your site and how users including location, keywords, and how those users found your site as well as if they used another search engine besides Google.
They use all this information to become a better search engine.
So it may not cost you anything directly but you are paying Google back with information about your site so it's not really free. Call it exchange of information ;)

Its wonderful with the exception that Google is aggregating user data like no tomorrow. I personally don't want Google knowing too much about my sites, especially when my sites are optimized to extract as much traffic from Google as possible ;)

I'm happy to give them information about my sites for the use of this amazing tool for free

Im sure that they are going to use the information to rank sites, now they just use keywords and links (as far as I know) but by encouraging people to put analytics on their sites they can tell if people actually hang round on a site and they will eventually use that info to rank sites in searches, at least thats what I would doComment

you are right, but its google, they have the full power anyway so whateverits free unless you have a big site, then they ask you to buy advertising, or at least they used too, i believe there is some enhanced version as well that costs money
Also not exactly free, you are letting them see your entire business strategy, imagine the power of having access to the top million sites on the net.. lol

Never put it on your checkout page if you run adwords.
It's a good program for some sites. A terrible idea for others.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment
