Google Re-Opens Analytics Service as Invite-Only

taboguilla writes "As of January 11, after freezing the Google Analytics new user subscriptions shortly after it first started, Google's snazzy web site hit counter is adding new users on an invitation-only basis. If you would like an invitation, you can submit your email address to on the Google Analytics home page and wait until they decide you are worthy."

it fails to count most traffic for no apparent reason.

it requires javascript turned on, in the visitor's browser. That skips from 5% to 30% of visitors (depending on the nature of your website - ie, homepage of links versus windoze wares site).

Re:Secret Relationship Between Analytics and AdSen

I'm seeing my AdSense revenue increase after Analytics, and I've no reason to believe that the two things might be related at all. As before, I still see clicks worth really less, as well as those worth really more -- it's the number of clicks that has gone up, but the price per click is more or less the same as before Analytics.
