However you should have checked also for Omniture/HBX. I bet they come pretty close to Google Analytics for the top 500 sites.

One concern I have had for a while is whether or not Google will eventually start to capitalize on this by charging. If you think about it, that is how much of the web has evolved… get people hooked on free stuff then start to charge them for it.

They asked me whether you are interested in sharing data or not. I shared data which is actually beneficial for small publishers as they can actually better optimise adsense on our sites. But some technocrats are always interested in bashing Google.

I have a Google Analytics account and they let people like me choose whether to share the data or not. If you read the FAQs it specifically says they aren’t using this data for ranking of websites. My belief is that Google is under too much scrutiny to do stuff like that without jeopardizing customer trust…. which is everything to them. The reason they make it free is because they want to sell more keywords. I don’t have an AdWords account though and I use Google Analytics for free, but when my business gets bigger I’ll probably start advertising and bam, they got what they want and I got what I want, so it all works out. I wish they did give more of this stuff away for free, it is a win win.

Google Analytics is given away for free so companies can find out how to optimize their adsense spend

Google is giving away the service in exchange for something. I suspect they are using the data from Google Analytics as part of the their search rankings.

And who knows what else. It’s an absolute goldmine of data!!!
