Google Analytics Invitation

[GoldenHammer]

I received an invitation from Google to create an account for Google Analytics, anyone has tried this service? Is it useful?

Thanks.

Also check to see if your PR ranking or search ranking has increased. Happened to me... definietly try analytics though.

Look like there is not much change on the PR SE position.

I don't mind to join if it doesn't have impact to the performance or traffics on my site.

I''ve been reading that some are having issues with slow load time and are taking it off. #*$! or SEW I believe.

yeah, plenty of people have had problems with slow loading pages and i think google are well aware of it (that's probably why they're restricting the number of accounts). but apparently they've changed their recommendation about where the code is inserted in the HTML (now just before the </body> tag) which should mean the page loads even if the google servers can't cope.

...and that is where the Analytics code is on my site; when the G-Servers were playing up, my pages still did not load. Think again.
