Google Launches Web Traffic Analysis Service

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the walking-the-fine-line-between-free-and-advertising dept.

segphault writes to pass along that Ars Technica has an interesting article about the recently released Google Analytics. Analytics is Google's new traffic analysis service that helps you to know everything from "how your visitors found you [to] how they interact with your site." Analytics is also built to integrate with AdWords if you are already utilizing that service.

    Even google, succumbed to the ./ effect. Ever since this was on tweakers.net I tried to see, but the response is been getting less and less.

      Digg is full of idiotic discussion, it's worse than Slashdot. Barely anyone uses the moderation there. The non-threaded discussions also lick balls. You clearly envy Slashdot's cock.

      Notice how nobody posts on digg when /. gets a story first?

      Don't condemn yourself. The sheep moderators mod up anything that seems relevant and on-topic. Do you actually think they RTFA themselves?

    Seems to me every story that appears on slashdot these days was on digg.com yesterday..

      Well this may be the case there are two things to consider: a) Does everyone who reads slashdot read Digg? b) Digg has a lot of content to sort through - so what if slashdot plucks a few things that they think slashdot readers would be interested in so we don't have to sort through all the other garbage?

      It's about even who has stories first. See Digg vs. Dot

      In all seriousness, in the past couple of weeks Slashdot has become by *secondary* source for technie/geek news.


      Digg.com is simply beating Slashdot by hours and days -- and have a lot more stories to boot.


      Slashdot must innovate now, or they will be dead within weeks.

  5. It got dugg first by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Slashdot might as well just mirror the submissions on digg.com, that way they don't have to keep dealing with the embarassment of posting "me too" stories well after they've been dugg.
