Born From Urchin.

Google acquired Urchin Software Corporation in April 2005, and released Google Analytics in November 2005. Behind the scenes, Google Analytics is based on Urchin v6 Software.

Reallocate Your Analytics Budget.

The hosted version of Google Analytics is 100% free, without any hidden costs or extra hardware requirements. This means you can invest in optimizing your site layout, rolling out an internal site search solution, or search engine marketing.

Installation Is A Snap.

Add a snippet of tracking code to each page of your site, and you'll start seeing data in your Google Analytics Account a few hours later. Once the tracking code is in place, Actual Metrics can help you configure your profile properly and utilize some of the more advanced features.

Integration Options

Data collected by Google Analytics can be integrated with a variety of tools and software packages, including (but not limited to) the Google Website Optimizer, the Google Search Appliance and Mini, CRM solutions, dashboard reporting systems, and more.

Advanced Reporting.

GeoTargeting, site overlay, executive dashboards, conversion funnels, e-commerce reports, and on-the-fly visitor segmentation allow you to drill down and learn how visitors reach your site, what activities they perform while on your site, where they exit, what they buy, and much more.

Linked To AdWords.

If you're an AdWords advertiser, Google Analytics can be configured to automatically import your keyword list and cost data. You can then generate ROI metrics for individual keywords as well as your entire AdWords campaign.
