Even the Little Guys Can Influence The World of SEO

Google Updates Analytics

I just wanted to point out, as I've seen everyone else already do, that Google has again updated Analytics, this time adding a feature that I called for on this blog several weeks ago: quicker reporting.

I think this is an indicator that anyone can have an effect on those big giants of the internet game - even little guys like me, trying things out and then blogging about what they like and don't like. Honestly, though, this is probably the result of hundreds of hours of review and development on Google's side, since they seem to be just as perfectionistic (is that a word?) as the rest of us. This is a great improvement.

The other great improvements in this new edition of Google Analytics are clickable URLs and the ability to cross-segment reports by network location. This adds a lot of functionality to the already redesigned interface, making it even better than before.

However, some questions have been raised about the entire Analytics service, and why in the world it has been offered for free. I will be blogging about this very interesting caveat soon.
