Google Analytics, this could be the serious free competition which products like Mint and Delineate really didn’t need.

Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site.

Basically it’s like a hosted version of Urchin (Which is nice if you ever used it), you simply create a Analytics account, pop a snippet of JavaScript into your page headers and off you go.

Google Analytics delivers everything you’d expect from a high end stats solution, and it integrates with AdWords. I’m going to give it a bit of a trial run right here on nathanpitman.com to see how it shapes up.

Update: A nice write up on Google Analytics by Eric Peterson.
