We've prided ourselves on Google Analytics. We've seen Gatineau make its debut last year. Now we're looking at something new: Yahoo Analytics. As part of the acquisition of IndexTools, Yahoo will be launching Yahoo! Web Analytics.

It's not live for everyone yet, as we're made aware that it's currently only available to Yahoo! Small Business customers who host e-commerce sites on Yahoo and Yahoo! Custom Solutions/Yahoo! Buzz Marketing advertising partners.

Is it free? Indeed, it will be (which comes at a shock to many). It also is making past paid customers of IndexTools at $400/month happy.

The best part of IndexTools beyond it being free is that it has real-time analytics tracking rather than a 24-hour delay.

Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld, High Rankings Forum, and DigitalPoint Forums.
