What's your opinion of Google Analytics? Sound off with your pros and cons. Include your good, bad & ugly (or beautiful) experiences with this service!

Is it worth it?

Isn't Analytics free? The stats are great, but I heard somewhere that they collect your data for other stuff =/

I like it, but I also combine it with statcounter.com . I prefer the statcounter control panel and the information it provides. But then Google Analytics provides the conversion info.

I only hate that I have to hack the script in order to know the exact referrer URLs (it only shows domain referrer). Other than that, it's good.
