Hi Caleb! Nice to have you visit…. thanks for your comments. I’ve updated the post to highlight ‘per month’ and that 5M pageview limit doesnt apply when linked up to Adwords accounts.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi,

Great topic, but you have two inaccuracies in your post:

1) Google Analytics doesn’t have a 5mm pageview limit if you are linked to AdWords. Typically, you’ll have a harder time scaling Urchin to a high volume site when Google Analytics can handle hundreds of millions of pageviews per month.

2) The Urchin Site License is $5,000 *per month*, not one-time, which is a big difference in total cost.

Best,

-Caleb

You did a nice job man! Things explained authentically and clearly.
Every decent sized internet marketing company can go ahead with urchin solution, for analytics data and controlling it. But google analytics must be the favourite option for individuals or small businesses.
