    Google launches a free counter/analytics service (cya webtrends!)

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

    I guess they just put all the companies in that space out of business today. Gotta love google's control.

              Not only is it free, it's the best in the space...

              They bought Urchin not too long ago and this is the result of that integration.

                  I very much doubt that this will kill places like webtrends. Ask the companies that use webtrends or hitbox if they want to put a google adword ad on their page to track their stats.. I doubt they will say "oh awesome, its google, of course we'll give them free money!" .... also, google seems to be using urchin software to build these reports, which means webtrends pro stuff and hitbox's pro stuff can do much more than google can.

                      google has never been a "search engine" company - ive written about this as has many others.

                      google launched search engine just to make foundation for what Google really is.

                          Oh, and btw.. expect the geeks to flock away from google soon... google is doing everything that is bad in their books...

                          Google losing geeks is not going to be good. and oh god forbid if we see google NOT double their profits next term, the stock market will be devestated.

                                  webtrends is a very strong tool

                                  and remember that they are in biz and know the biz

                                  but still need to check out the google program

                                  Don't miss out on the new HYPE!!!

                                      So, it's not a hidden counter? I wasn't aware of that... you're right, that could spell trouble!

                                          Sign up and try to log in.

                                          Doesn't look they are ready to roll quite yet. When I finally managed to log in, I got a "Down for Maintenance" notice.

                                                  Yeah, gotta wonder... now google will know EVERYTHING about you. They will know what you buy on what site when and how often. They will so much better be able to target ads to you its not fun anymore...

                                                  This is EXACTLY why doubleclick basically died a few years ago. The geeks will go mad soon.

                                                          is this serverside or something you have to put on all your pages?

Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

They will know what you buy on what site when and how often. They will so much better be able to target ads to you its not fun anymore...

It wasn't a huge secret: Google came to the WebmasterWorld show in New Orleans early in the Summer and had Urchin staff there - they had just bought the company.

                                                                                                                                  I have used Urchin reports for awhile and so I was talking to one of the guys. I mentioned it would be a great fit for AdWords customers to track incoming clicks, etc. He just smiled. I pushed on it and he just said they couldn't reveal future plans for the product.

                                                                                                                                  Damn, I was bang on

                                                                                                                                      Google losing geeks is not going to be good. and oh god forbid if we see google NOT double their profits next term, the stock market will be devestated.
                                                                                                                                      Yeah, but where are the geeks going? Even if a bigger and better search engine comes out, there is a good chance Google would just buy them.
