Google Analytics

One thing that most bloggers are curious about is many people read their blog and possibly a little about the viewers. There are a variety of tools that a blogger can use to find out information. Some websites are free and others charge for this service. Jason talked about a data source that provided information about visitors to his site in this entry. I have been using Google Analytics for a little while and learning very gradually the capabilties of the software. I also use it to keep track of visits to my brother's website. Google Analytics recently came out recently with a beta version of the software which is more powerful and richer than the earlier versions. I stumbled on the new beta version by mistake but look forward to exploring its capabilities.
