Isn't Google Analytics the same program as Urchin? If so, there were some features Urchin provided that Mint is missing. As a marketing director, I work with statistics and need clear reports in formats that I can submit. Mint is cumbersome, and there is no place where monthly data, trends, competitive intelligence is aggregated. I can only see what happened in a week's snapshot and then the data is gone. I can't go back and look at last month (with the exception of the total number of visitors and who is new). If Google Analytics is free and improved, I would like to have it.

We'll get it installed for you this week and drop you a note.

Don't agree that Mint is cumbersome and doesn't show history beyond a week. I run an Internet marketing company and publish a popular blog and find Mint much more hepful than Google Analytics.

Some folks just prefer one over the other.

I assume that with MeasureMap and now Gapminder's Trendalyzer that blog stats will improve. Though the one real thing that almost all stat packages miss so far is RSS stats. That's where FeedBurner still takes the cake and with their acquisition of BlogBeat, they will compete pretty well soon.
