The Google Analytics blog writes that….
I’m happy to tell you that we’ve just removed the wait to receive a Google Analytics account. Now anyone with a website can instantly create one for free by simply by visiting google.com/analytics or by clicking on the “Analytics” tab within AdWords. After you create an account, we suggest reading the Installation Guide to get it set up quickly and correctly.
This is great for everyone. I really hope they lift the 10 profile limit now, since I have 10 profiles already active.
