Google Analytics has finally been opened to the masses, having been available by invitation only until now.
I can say that as a user of analytics for the past few months, its pretty good. It seems to be accurate enough and the interface is nice and quick. Previously I tried using Webtrends On-Demand, but the interface leaves alot to be desired - its sooooo slow. And Webtrends costs $$ per month ofcourse!
Google analytics is well worth a look for anybody interested in decent web stats - having been built upon the Google acquired Urchin product. Setup is nice and easy, by simply adding 5 or 6 lines of javascript to every webpage on a site, unlike Webtrends massive amount of code (probably in the region of 200 lines of code!!)
Analytics integration with Adwords is also a really nice touch.
