...look out Google Analytics?

Not likely.

Sorry Yahoo!, but the track record hasn't been so hot lately. The cultural differences between Yahoo! and Google are painfully obvious and apparently unchangeable for poor Yahoo!. The big Panama PPC admin system relaunch hasn't panned out and made for a better management experience. Their copy of the Adsense program still isn't as good as the original. Ergo - I have to believe the product life cycle for Yahoo! Analytics will be similarly reactionary and half hearted.

Analytics, Yahoo!

The big news this week of course is that Microsoft has unveiled a bid to buy Yahoo! for $31 per share in cash and stock. That equates to a $44.6 billion offer. As most industry analysts and pundits quickly realized, this is basically Microsoft’s latest attempt to try and stack up in the search market vs. Google.

Does your website have a sitemap? A sitemap is a page on your site that lists all the other pages on the site, usually in a tree structure so that a user can easily navigate to any part of the site without rooting around through navigation (here is our sitemap). Aside from the usability service that a sitemap offers your site's human visitors, it also makes a nice place for search engine spiders to go and quickly understand the layout of a website and index all its pages in a fast and effective manner.
