I've gotten indexed in 20 minutes in the past. submitted my sitemap through google webmaster tools. put info and links back in wordpress.com, blogger, clearblogs, live journal, xanga, blog.com, squidoo, hubpages, delicious, digg and stumble. submitted through onlywire and socialmarker. and im about to run the free version of webceo to hit directories. I always used to slap a link to my new site in the footer of my old sites that were already being crawled. This time Im trying an experiment to see what someone without a website should do. It's harder than I thought. Maybe Youll have better luck! Once I finally do get indexed, I hope these efforts will be rewarded :) man, I’ve been tryin everything. still not indexed, wonder what may have changed.

An enterprise sized solution can often be too much for even a mid-sized business such as the university I work for. ROI and implementation were key factors in our decisions for statistics, analytics, and market research solutions. Come to think about it, I never even really thought about analytics as an objective - but its true that analytics are directly related to almost every possible conversion, lead, sale or recruit. Analytics SHOULD be a priority - as should researching the right analytics solution. I agree 100%.

If web analytics is secondary to your mission goals, paying for a solution is overkill 2. getting meaningful reports from large web analytics vendors is a nightmare and trust me, you'll need a lot more excuses to explain why the vendor or one of its overpriced affiliated consultants haven't been able to fix you up with what you need on time for you to meet your deadlines.
