Google Analytics shut down for new users
Just as I got excited to try out Google Analytics, Google shut it down to new users. Apparently since it went free there had been serious reliability issues. An article on ITworld.com says:
This is the latest snafu to hit Google Analytics since last Monday, when Google began to offer it for free. That same day, Google Analytics, which used to cost US$199 per month, began to experience serious performance problems as new and existing users alike struggled to access the service.
I’m curious if it specifically tracks and differentiates users who access the website through AdWords or normal search/direct URL access. I know a lot of people are concerned about fraudulent AdWords clicks, etc. Once it comes back, I’ll look into it more closely.
