Market forces work again. Good news on one hand and sad reading on the other. Anyway, it nice that yahoo has its ears and heart close to the users unlike some others we know don't we? Nicole's last blog post..Some of the Worst Commercials

This could probably be an interesting option for people with a previously banned gmail account. If they want to collect adsense, they wouldn't have to delete the cookies every time they check their mails and then switch accounts to view their stats.

Free works best, period. If you’re trying to gain market penetration and general acceptance of your product or service on the internet, it being free will lead to much wider exposure than one would ever get by trying to charge.

Smart move by Yahoo, am a current Google Analytics user, but will definitely check Yahoo’s offering out

@tony

No, there is not other alternative with close to the same features and price. If you must have enterprise level tracking, it’s either go up the chain to omniture or have G/Y know about your private data

The only bright spot is it’s Yahoo. Like they really know what to do with the data. It’s not like it’s Google.

As an avid Indextools user of more than 5 years, I am both excited and saddened by this. Indextools has always been a low-cost alternative to Google Analytics – it’s better than GA and didn’t come with the privacy concerns. Now Index Tools has privacy concerns.

On the one hand, I’m glad I’ll be able to get this kind of reporting for free. On the other hand, now I have to find an alternative for those with privacy concerns. I hate Omniture and Webtrends, plus they are pretty expensive. Anyone have a low-cost alternative I can start trying out?

Wow, this is a semi-surprise, semi-not-surprise.

I knew Yahoo! had to move to acquire an analytics company, I just wasn’t sure which one.

Great to see IndexTools for free.

I had almost started using them about 6 months ago, but the costs were too high for what they were offering.

Looks like I’ll get another chance to work with them after all.
