Numbers that mean business

What is the Holy Grail for online marketers? Well, it starts with knowing in real time whether your campaign is working or not. And it ends with turning that insight into tweaks that improve performance.
After all, nothing is worse for advertisers — and consumers — than marketing that bombs.
Enter IndexTools, a leading provider of Web analytics software for online marketing, which we announced we’re acquiring today. Their technology will give our customers tools for monitoring and analyzing websites and marketing campaigns, providing valuable insights into key metrics, traffic patterns and performance. And that means consumers are more likely to see marketing content that’s engaging and relevant.
We’ll initially make these tools available to our vast community of 150,000 small- to medium-sized business customers, but we’ll eventually extend them to third party developers who can use them to track how their applications are performing with visitors.
When it comes to marketers, we have just one goal: To be their partner of choice. IndexTools is another great arrow in our quiver.

Very cool news. Index Tools is a tremendous product. This is a great move by Yahoo. Looking forward to using “Yahoo Analytics” in the future.

ANALYTICS are the food of the mind :)
We need something radical for video content please!

We use g***** analytics and have ben pretty happy with it as a free service. The only problem is not we will have to have two snippets of code now on our pages - get a little cumbersome on the web dev side - slug in the other engines ‘conversion codes’ then affiliate code snippets - yikes. Kudo’s nonethless!
