Google is offering webmasters a full-featured, powerful analytics package from Urchin to determine how many people are visiting their sites, to view the source of referrals to your site and what they're clicking on. Google Analytics is the latest version of Urchin On Demand that can also track user clicks in Flash objects and Javascript code.

A Google Account is required to login into Google Analytics. If you're an AdWords advertiser, you can also sign up for Analytics from within your AdWords account. Analytics' free version is limited to 5 million pageviews a month but the limit is is removed if you're also an active AdWords publisher.

one for all you webmasters out there

Sounds interesting. Might have to test that out when I upload my new site next month.

Google-analytics says

"Discover where your site visitors come from, what pages they visit, how long they stay, what they buy, what makes them give up, and where they go"

where they go???? how can they do that?

If you look at the status bar in Firefox when this site's loading...

Yes, I saw that. How can Google tell where I am going next?

It uses cookies & javascript...

I think it only works on outbound links on the site in question though, see here...

I don't think it'll collect the info if you move on to a site in your bookmarks....

I cannot see the point, dabs will never put a button for ebuyer, would they?

No, but if people get paid for clickthroughs then it can help them to see where to put more effort in I think....

for fellow firefox users, just to say I find the 'noscript' extension deals with google analytical, very well, for me

Installed Google Analytics my site....

If some of you would like to visit, I'd love to see what info is generated!
