Just like when Google bought Urchin, Yahoo! have acquired IndexTools and created Yahoo! Web Analytics. I’m very excited to get my hands on it and try it out, not least because unlike Google Analytics, Yahoo! has a proper API key so you can query the data and create custom reports. For all you agency people, that means raw data branded any way you want - hooray!

Since Google and Yahoo increasingly look like each other I’m sure useability won’t be a problem. Can’t wait to have a play with it!

Enough of the creepy photos!

Yahoo’s Site Explorer had a redesign a little while ago, and sometime in the past couple of days Google Analytics has followed suit. Is it just me or is there an uncanny resemblance?

P.S. That was me holding an axe :)

I got back to work only to discover Google have changed their Analytics login page. You now have to click a button to enter your login details:

I don’t see the point to be honest! Isn’t it even good website practice not to require too many clicks?
