I have started using Google Analytics since end of July and I'm impressed with its work. Its a great Tool for deeper analysis of site traffic. only thing i see bad is, it takes 24 hours to update stats. I think there is a option where we can change this but i couldn't find it.

I think its the best tool for web site analysis for a web designer.it also tells from which part of world you have got the visits and also through which mediums

I don't think there is a way to change the way it updates, although it seems to be every few hours, but lags a few hours. I really like Analytics though, it has really taught me what is popular, what isn't, how the site is doing in general, much more info than stuff like Webalyzer and the other one (featured in Fantastico, can't remember the name).

Yes it gives you lot more details than most of other stat counters but still I use AWstats with it since it seems Google Analytics doesnt trace all hits website get.

Yeah, people who don't have javascript turned on in their browser are missed, but I doubt it's that many. One cool thing about Analytics is that it filters out pages only and not people who are hotlinking, important depending on the type of site you run (if hotlinking is allowed).

Also its very detailed about search engine traffic than other stat counters. also they gives graphs

To be honest I don't care for Analytics really, it's kind of hard to get used too.

your website get a bit slow, but if you don't put it on header, and put it in the footer of your website, and then your website loads the same as before ...

Captain Tycoon

What difference does that make O.o, its still in every page...

Well it makes a big difference. HTML is a scripting language compiler read the script line by line and execute it line by line. So when you have the Analytics code at end of the page [ just above </BODY> tag ] its get loaded after all your site elements d loaded. So visitors wont see a slow in loading of the content of your site. Analytics code will be load at end but since its invisible to visitors its not for them it wouldn't matter.

Its a while Google Analytics has launched but I hadn't used it till few months ago. But when you start use it, More you learn about it or get used to it more you like it. It gives you soo much info about traffic you get from search engines and other sites and keywords visitors has used.
