The search engine giant Google (www.google.com) announced on May 4 that it has dropped the price for its recently acquired Urchin on Demand Web analytics software (www.urchin.com) from $495 to $195 per month. The new price includes report profiles for up to 50 individual websites, up from Urchin's offer of one, and includes up to 100,000 page views per month. An additional one million page views are available for an extra $99 per month. A 15-day free trial of Urchin on Demand is available at www.urchin.com.
Version 6.1.1 of Urchin on Demand was released earlier this year. The software is available as a hosted service or separate software product. Many users of the technology however, have access to the technology through their Web hosting providers free of charge. A new feature is the ability to import pay-click costs directly from Google Adwords accounts, the first integration of Google's services with the Urchin platform.
