This blog is fast becoming a Google mouthpiece. Yet another post related to Google. Google is getting so much into my online activities that it’s freaky.

I use Gmail solely for my email now. I use Adsense and Adword. Since I use Firefox, Google is my default search. I am now starting with Google Analytics.

All these I credit to Google’s international friendliness. While Yahoo and Microsoft restricted their beta stuffs only to US user, Google offers it’s beta service internationally.

Too bad that Y! and MS do not get the globalness of the Internet.

Today I finally received an invite to Google Analytics. The request was submitted in Janurary and I wondered when I will get the elusive invite.

Only one word is sufficient as I waste no time to sign in - “Wow!”.

Certainly no comparison to open source stuff like Analog, AWStats or Webalizer.

I’m still waiting for the data to be collected but after a few hours I’m learning more about my website than I previously had.

Now this is seriously an unfair advantage.

For those that had been using it a few months back, how had it helped you?
