I've always wondered why Google didn't offer some sort of Web-based metrics service. Web Side Story has always been a little too expensive for me, but they have a nice service.

Funny that this was announced the same day Web Trends was sold.

If I were running Urchin and attempting to optimize a site for GG, I would switch products. I'm not sure that the convergence of web analytics and statistics and a saerch algorithm is something I'd feel comfortable with.

What if Google notices that your conversion rates are low, or people don't spend much time on your site... Will you drop in the rankings? I'm usually not a paranoid person, but I think this type of information is exactly what Google's seeking with this purchase.

I am shocked. No idea that this was even a possibility. I am so happy for Urchin. I have been using them since they had their first beta product out there. Congrats!
