Affordable? Definitely.

Good news -- Google Analytics is free! Any business or individual with a website can use Google Analytics FREE for any site with up to 5 million pageviews per month. For unlimited pageviews, simply create an AdWords account and link it to your Analytics account -- if you'd like some assistance, Actual Metrics can help you set this up. Even if you already use an analytics software package like HBX, CoreMetrics, WebTrends, ClickTracks, or Omniture, you can use Google Analytics simultaneously.

Reallocate Your Web Stats Budget

Since many web stats solutions cost thousands of dollars per year and Google Analytics is free, what are you going to do with the extra cash? We suggest optimizing your website by investing in an site search solution, finding the best combination of graphics and text through landing page testing, or enlisting Actual Metrics' help for ongoing stats analysis.

Google Analytics Software Version

We would love to see a standalone software version of Google Analytics. True to form, Google has neither confirmed nor denied that a standlone version is in development. If you'd like us to keep you up-to-date with current news about Google Analytics Software, please sign up for our newsletter.
