According to the Google Analytics “sign up” page, they have temporarily disallowed people from signing up. They also removed the “Add new profile” link from inside analytics which previously allowed a single account to track up to 40 different Web sites. With 234,725 Analytics accounts created (and probably over 200,000 additional profiles), Google has went from tracking zero to almost half a million in about a week.

This is a huge amount of data to process. Anybody who has tried WebTrends knows the processing power Google will need to get all these accounts caught up. Unfortunately, this delay users have been experiencing since it’s launch is giving this product a bad reputation.

Strange… also the Webseite is not available right now. To much traffic i guess, but since its Google i thought they would manage it.
Heres the message that Google posted on the signup page when I checked it yesterday:

Thank you for your interest in Google Analytics!

Google Analytics has experienced extremely strong demand, and as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your name and email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.

See GoogleGroups for more information about GoogleAnalytics. And of course also on Tadspot…
