It is a good idea for Google to give it away for free, but the main problem is that it is always down. If they do not solve the down time issue a lot of people will stop using Google Analytics.

I have Mint, and I finally got some stats for Analytics today. Nice for in-depth stats, but for your day-to-day stuff Mint definitely wins.

Plus the fact that Mint doesn’t show the internet’s stats to Google.

Google knows way too much…

As soon as the announcement of Google Analytics, my first thought was “How are Statcounter and Mint going to survive?”. I think it has been answered now. They will survive.

I signed up for it on Monday and I must say I am not very impressed with it so far. It giving completely different reports to statcounter and is really slow to update. I think I will stick with statcounter for now and fork out for Mint next year!

Frankly, I don’t hope Googlenet to happen. Although they introduce lots of excitements to the world of internet, but it’s never good to have one party dominates the whole market.

Hope that I’ll see some stats when I wake up later. Off to bed now.

Its been 3 hours and my statcounter account shows 21 unique visitors, where analytics is still stuck on 1 pageload.

They’ll do something about it surely.

I think they want to take over and rename the internet to googlenet.

Why batch processing? I don’t understand. Do they need to verify each traffic? This is not Adsense!

As far as when you get your first stats, it’s pretty random…People have waited days before getting anything.

From the look, it should be better than Statcounter. However, I’ve installed it this morning but I haven’t see any statistics yet! Is it possible that it will take some time to really generate the report? Or will it work like Statcounter where the report is updated instantly? I still wondering.

Better than statcounter from the looks of it.

I’d sure like to meet this Google-mad-scientist guy..
