Starting yesterday, logging into your Google Analytics account just got a little easier. We're talking button-click streamlining here, folks! :-)Just remember to log out when you leave your computer - just as you would with Gmail - especially if you're using Google Analytics at a public computer, because you'll remain logged in until the session expires.Posted by Jeff Gillis, Google Analytics Team

A new book from Brian Clifton launched (and sold out!) a few months ago at Search Engine Strategies in New York. The book, Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics Brian was our former Google Analytics lead for Europe and is now back to his CEO role at Omega Digital Media Ltd, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant . He knows the intimate ins and outs of both Google Analytics and Urchin, and his book has been very well received. I chose the title Advanced to indicate that the content goes beyond just reporting of numbers and figures. The focus is on learning and knowledge transfer so that anyone with an interest in making their web site successful can learn how to interpret their web visitor data and act on it."companion site . We hope the guide helps you make the most of your analytics data, and we wish Brian the best of luck.Jeff Veen is a former Googler who has had a huge influence on the current design of Google Analytics.

His latest endeavor is The Start Conference , a one-day conference for entrepreneurs and those who would like to be entrepreneurs.
