Whoa - I came to this post initially due to the tagline, thinking that Google Analytics had 73% of the analytics market, and was about to soil myself.
Does anyone know how much of the ASP analytics market they have, or any rough estimate? I'm sure they have way more individual customers than Omniture or Webtrends, but probably not the high-volume sites that they other big dogs have.
That's an unusually big drop for Yahoo. What are they doing so badly??
Tad, you can ask Stephane on http://blog.immeria.net/ about web analytics market shares.
