Search Trends - Search Engine Marketing

Wahoo! I was already a big fan and user of Urchin, but Google just announced that they are offering Google Analytics free of charge. Their old pricing structure of $199/month, plus $100 for every 1 million additional pageviews was already the best deal around, but free -- now that's a bargain! I was hoping Google would offer Urchin for free, but wasn't sure if/when they would. It will be interesting to see what this does to the web analytics market. Google analytics are a very robust solution, even compared to the much more expensive options out there. It simply blows away any other free or low-cost stats options. They should be able to grab a huge share of the market with this pricing move, especially the ever-price-conscious small business market.
