Time To Start a new group: Google Analytics

Google Analytics has the potential to harm and help

Google Analytics has the potential to have more impact on a site than the search engine itself.

Just the other day, G was having problem with the ssl side of their servers for AdWords. One of our sites would hang on any page that had included their SSL script. Talk about a bummer for business! This went on for what appears to be at least 2 hours.

Before that, they were "overwhelmed" by the response they got with people signing up.

I'd be interested in hearing what experiences others have had (good and bad) with Google analytics.

I just tried to sign up - just to test it on one of my AdWords accounts. The message said they were full up - not taking any new sign ups! Surprising.

Analytics and any other Google delivered services can seriously dent your page delivery speed when they are overwhelmed.
