I don’t know many webmasters these days that don’t use Google Analytics in one way or another.  It is simply one of the best third party website statistic tools out there.  Here recently, it also got a ‘bit of a facelift as far as how the content is organized.  Everything is much more focused on getting you the information you need, faster. For example, here is the new dashboard for another website of mine Firefox Facts: If you need to quickly view basic statistics, this is the best place to go.  You can also customize it with more widgets – to give you access to more data. As you browse through the rest of the interface – you will se much of the same information is there – things are just organized in a much better way.  The use of drop down menus on the sidebar also helps to better focur yourself on seeing the data you need to see on and about your website too: The last new feature that really impressed me was the drop down menu at the top that lets you switch between websites you run very quickly.  It includes a search option too – for those of us managing multiple domains this is even better.  Simply type the first few letters of the domain and you can quickly pull up a Google Anyaltics profile for it.
