What are your opinions on Google Analytics? Is it good? Has it impacted your site positively with the tracking capablities? Is it worth exposing too much of our data to Google? Just looking for some opinions on this service. Thanks for the help
I love it. It gives me so much more information now. I'd say go for it if you haven't already signed up on the list for an invitation.
I like the way it can integrate with the adwords. On some of my sites I need to see the conversions and the analytics does just that just right. I used to use the Urchin 5.0 Stats which were good but did not have the features in the Free Google anayltics. Therefore I now use deepmetrix.com for my site stats and Google Analytics for the real ROI stuff. Just a small tip though. Put the javascript analytic code at the footer of your pages becasue putting it at the top, seems to slow down the pages slightly whilst the JS passes the information to google and of course if the google server is down, your page will take ages to load if the js is at the top of the page.
Yeah me too I just received their invitation code like 10minutes ago and already implemented the code on the site as well
