    Hi,

    We all know that Yahoo and Google has analytics department of their own. Can any one say what are the difference they have and at which instances they are the most useful.

    Overall, Yahoo! Web Analytics is a better platform than Google Analytics, but that doesn’t mean it’s a more accessible platform – it isn’t – still …. since I know Dennis Mortensen, VP Data Analytics for Yahoo!, pretty well, and I knew of IndexTools (before it became Yahoo! Analytics) , so, it’s very clear Yahoo! Web Analytics really is a much better platform – but …. to tell people how and why … that’s more problematic, since I don’t have Yahoo! Analytics on any of my sites and haven’t done much with it, yet.

    Yahoo has two "Analytics" programs. The one referred to above is "Yahoo Web Analytics" which is a fairly new acquisition from Index Tools and Yahoo has not released to the general public. Last I heard, they only released to Yahoo Stores owners.

    Their other Analytics platform is called "Multi-Channel Analytics" and is located under the YSM interface. Gotcha is you have to spend $200/mo in media spend to get access. And then installing is simple but you have to modify your URLs.

    To answer the question about which is "better", I personally like Yahoo. You have more control over the referral and channel inputs. It answers a different set of questions than Google.

    I prefer Yhoo Analytics because it is a bit more flexible. But I like Google Analytics also since it is so easy to use.

    I use Google analytics and found to be very useful and you can customize it according to your needs.
