Interesting question, especially now that Yahoo has teamed up with Microsoft.
But since Google is still #1 for now and might remain so for sometime to come, there's no need for me bothering to use Yahoo! Analytics. Moreover, I Yahoo! Analytics is mainly meant for large ecommerce websites and not free for every website.

I don't understand about google analytics as I think it is very confusing... I suggest that you try nuffnang analytics as it is like google adsense but with more statistics that we can use to improve our website performance...

I literally had to read their notes and instructions line by line and translate each into a way that I could understand it and it cleared up some of the confusion. But, when it comes to tools for measuring the results of any activity I am a big advocate for using a couple of tools that will provide me with lots of data to compare against each other.

I still think that for free site analytics, Google is king. I just hope more SE's or companies jump into this area and offer free or low-cost analytic tools that will bring Google's influence down a notch.

Do you know of the target date for the book? And do you know if Google has a similar book about their analytics tools?
