Für das gerade erst von Google gestartete Angebot einer web-basierten Log-Analyse wurde ein Aufnahmestopp verhängt. Innerhalb einer Woche nach dem Start von Google Analytics wurden laut ZDNet 234.725 verschiedene Konten eingerichtet, mit vermutlich noch einmal so vielen zusätzlichen Profilen. Denn jedem angemeldeten Nutzer von Google Analytics stand es bisher frei, bis zu 40 verschiedene Profile einzurichten, unter denen weitere Sites analysiert werden konnten. Auch diese Angebot wurde nun aufgehoben . Das große Interesse an Google Analytics hat nach Angaben des Magazins allerdings auch zu Verzögerungen und dies wiederum zu Verärgerung bei den Nutzern geführt. Stellt sich die Frage, wieso Google im Fall von Google Mail so lange auf einem "Invitation only" Verfahren bestanden hat, aber bei einem daten-intensiven Analyse-Service auf diese sinnvolle Maßnahme verzichtet.

Hello Google Analytics User,

This is a quick update to address some issues you may be seeing
in your Google Analytics account and what we're doing to respond.

First, due to extremely high demand, we've temporarily limited
the number of new signups as we increase capacity. This allows
us to focus on our primary objective--to provide a great user
experience for our existing users.

Next, here is current information on the most common questions
we're receiving:

1. The 'Check Status' button is being reworked to check for
properly installed tracking code. This should be fixed by the
end of November.

2. The '+Add Profile' link has been temporarily removed until
we increase capacity. We'll alert all current users when the
feature is restored.

3. While we increase capacity, you may see longer than normal
delays in data showing up in your reports. All data continues
to be collected and no data has been lost.

For additional help with your Google Analytics account, we
encourage you to browse or search our online Help Center at
http://www.google.com/support/analytics?hl=en.

Thanks for your patience as we improve Google Analytics and add
resources to ensure a high-quality service.

Sincerely,

The Google Analytics Team

Schade dass das so lange dauert. Hab mich von 4 Tagen in die Warteliste eingetragen.

Hoffe das dauert nicht mehr lange. Die haben doch eh genug Server,

Currently Undergoing Maintenance

Google Analytics reporting is currently undergoing maintenance and will be available shortly. Your site traffic is being logged and you will be able to see the data after system maintenance has concluded.

Wie kann Google feststellen, aus welcher ein Besucher stammt? Hat was mit der IP zu tun? Obwohl ich meine Seite auch besuche, ist mein Wohnort nicht vertreten. Wird da z.B. der Standort von Sunrise gezählt?

Over the past several weeks, the Google Analytics team has been working hard to add capacity to handle the extraordinary demand for Google Analytics. Because providing a great user experience is our top priority, we temporarily suspended new signups for Google Analytics.

Over the past weeks, we've improved the freshness of report data so that existing customers can see reports as recent as several hours old. We've also re-enabled the addition of new profiles so that all existing Google Analytics customers can track additional sites (up to 5 per account).

Finally, we will soon invite our first batch of users from those who submitted their email addresses to sign up for Google Analytics. We expect to send out additional invitations over time as capacity increases.

We again thank you for your continued interest in Google Analytics, and look forward to opening signups to everyone very soon.

We've added enough capacity that we are re-opening signups on an invitation basis. Many of our users who previously submitted their email address to us will be receiving an invite shortly.
