Sorry, there are no Yahoo! Web Analytics services associated with the Yahoo! ID: sizzler_chetan
So guess we will have to wait till its open.
It looks like every big player will want a web analytics offering now. I’m wondering when someone will offer to buy out Omniture.
hmmm Yahoo is following up the trend
Chetan are you using it?
Am just hoping that this tool might work very well that Google analytics. As analytics from Google is quite popular already, i am thinking that this might be a tough challenge for Yahoo. But still, they are so big to make it well known very easily.
@Anand: that’s true
but still most of those people who first time used the internet is using yahoo.. i mean the newbies in the internet 
yahoo can still make it well known so easy
Nice to see yahoo coming out with analytics, we can see some tough competition for google analytics,
we can benefit as they will keep it updated with newer version to cope up with the competition!!!!!!!!!!!
Intersting. Atleast now google can get some competition in this.
Wow Yahoo so wants to take over google in every field
I think this analytics program will be a huge success for yahoo
great!!!
cool
is it better than google analytics ?
@Make money online: as far as i know.. google is still the best.. it’s because it is what i use.. but i don’t know if there is a better one.. but if i found it out ill better use it lol
the best is still the best!
have anyone try it?
I have the same question as sherry
Did anyone try it??
I would love to read reviews about yahoo web analytics before i start using it.
please Let us know
Thanks
Well it was working yesterday, and it really is a nice interface.
Is it better than Google Analytics? I can’t swear that it is, but the set up was literally seconds for my Yahoo Store as it is integrated with the Yahoo Store at the click of a button – IF you used the Store Editor to build your store.
The other part is that it seems to pull stats nearly realtime. I had data within 30 minutes of the time it was installed – where you are hours behind with Google Analytics. Great for the anxious – when you are trying to see …”is this thing on”
We’ll keep an eye on it and see. We did have our first HICCUP today. I went to login and it now says I don’t have an Analytics account. HOWEVER it will let me see the code and options, so I am off to log an email to tech support.
For the price, and the time to set it up, so far, so good.
