I’ve been using Google Analytics for a few months now, and am still just as enthusiastic about it as I was when I started.

Nup, you can sign up to get their two week free trial of their “Premium Service”, or you can sign up for the free, free, free service with extra freeness. Which doesn’t cost anything. Ever. It’s free like that.

I could be wrong, but isn’t Sitemeter ‘free’ only for a two week period? Or is there an alternate way of doing things with them?

I’ve mostly found that I really like the immediacy of Sitemeter – the hits come up straight away, and if there’s a criticism of Google’s service it’s that. So I think I’ll keep tracking with Sitemeter for the moment (as well), but there certainly are some very pretty graphs on the Google Service.

There is something about blogging and an insatiable desire to see who has hit your site, how they got there, where they come from… Sitemeter is ok, but google seems brighter and better at everything. I’ll be signing up! Just for monitoring purposes of course.
