Matt, don't laugh at me but for the longest when I would see "related posts by Zemanta" I was wondering who the heck is Zemanta. I thought this post was written by (insert blogger's name). LOL
I had no idea it was a plugin.

I absolutely love using Google Anlaytics, I've been using it for about 4 years at my day job and I still don't know all of the features yet! It's a really robust tool and smart of Google to offer it for free because once people see how bad their site sucks they start buying Adwords.

The company I work for is a technical publisher that's been around for over 100 years yet our resellers rank higher in Google because of years of buying AdWords and as a result getting higher ranking. We don't mind though because we earn huge royalties from the resellers.

I installed GA on my new blogs last month and I got stats within 4 hours, and that's "real time" enough for me. I only look at stats once a day and I don't blog about anything that is time sensitive where I would need to react or make changes in real time anyway.

Thanks for the post.
