New look for Google Analytics

A redesign for Google Analytics (wikipedia) will be rolled out to all current Analytics accounts holders over the next few weeks.

Jeff Gillis of the Google Analytics Team blogs that the new interface will allow for greater customization making it easier for businesses and website owners to find and share the data they need. Read Jeff’s post to get more details.

We’ll install Google Analytics for any LexBlog client that wants it. I’ll withhold judgment until I see the new user interface, but until now Analytics has provided more data than any blog publisher could reasonably use. If you’re selling products or ads on your site or running a sophisticated Google Adsense campaign, Analytics may be great. But for the rest of us, it’s too much.

We do an install of the Mint stats package for all LexBlog client blogs. Simple, clean, and easy to understand interface (as far as stats go) that provides all the data most any blogger would need.
