Comments on: Anybody Else Having Problems with Google Analytics? http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2005/11/15/anybody-else-having-problems-with-google-analytics/ because technology is just another ecosystem Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:10:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Tim Howland http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2005/11/15/anybody-else-having-problems-with-google-analytics/#comment-1359 Tim Howland Wed, 16 Nov 2005 17:08:47 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/wp/?p=658#comment-1359 Mine finally kicked in as well. It looks like it's a little delayed (the reports are not running at 6 hours behind), but that's a minor quibble. They do some great stuff with the app, things that are hard to do with conventional logfile analysis. In my opinion, the reports appear to be on a par with the omniture and hitbox offerings- they include the same datapoints, and allow for a degree of customization that seems pretty much right on. I'll be interested in cross-checking them against my other log analysis- it's possible that their growing pains have resulted in outages with the collectors, which would have lost data. This is probably something to keep an eye on as they become popular. Mine finally kicked in as well.

I'm only using it on one page to start, but it looks promising. Mine finally kicked-in sometime last night after about 48 hours. I’m only using it on one page to start, but it looks promising.

I am confused- google has all these folks doing 20% time. the smartest people in the world. where are the products? is this MS all over? i mean - notions of Gates and Ballmer back in the day laughing at IBM's lack of productivity. i am pretty sure the google twins say something similar about MS. But where is the beef? so is google innovative? buying a company that offers a good service and screwing up the launch hardly seems like innovation to me.

amazingly - i dont know if you read the blogs about other people with problems- but existing customers also lost their service-and these are folks paying hundreds of dollars for the privelege of analytics.

gmail a hit

blogger- not much innovation since the acquisition

google maps - a hit

picasa - the jury is out

where is the internal development? all in the search engine? I am confused- google has all these folks doing 20% time. the smartest people in the world. where are the products? is this MS all over?

I've known this product was coming for a long while, and it has thusfar met far short of my expectations. Of course, after finally getting the software to recognize my site, I have to wait 12 hours (????) for the data. I dearly hope that the data looks good! MeasureMap by comparison, which I'm using on my blog, works flawlessly. I love it. No, not just you.

It says I'm registered, and the first reports will be ready in 12 hours... it's said this for 24 hours now. I assume they just have an enormous backlog that needs to be processed- once the story broke, I'm sure they went through the load test from hell. I’m having the problem too.
