Yahoo! Web Analytics Resources

I've been receiving an increasing amount of Yahoo! Web Analytics (formerly IndexTools) questions lately due to the recent press on the CMS analytics study. While Yahoo! Web Analytics has not yet launched publicly, I wanted to send along some helpful links that discuss Yahoo! Web Analytics in more detail. I'm guessing that these links will only get people more antsy for the release, but it's helpful none the less.

Is there a timeline for Yahoo! to open access to their Analytics like Google has?

Hi Vero,

It's first being rolled out to Yahoo! advertisers who work with an account manager. Are you a current Yahoo! Search Marketing user? If so, you can request Yahoo! Web Analytics from your AM.

I don't have an ETA for rollout to everybody, but I know there is a game plan for that.

Thanks for stopping by the site!

It's a shame its not out yet. I guess I will use another solution until then :(
