Just for your information, this new feature made my Firefox 3 crashed when I enabled it... and when I disabled it !

See my reply here for tracking individual visitors http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=462121

If you really want a movie of your visitor checkout http://www.clicktale.net (#4 at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=461349)

You can do it using setVars, but unfortunately you are allowed to use only a single var.

Thus my first remark at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=461349.

This analytics feature is one of the most precious one, but is too limited for now.

Here is my picks :

- more vars (pageTracker._setVar, currently only 1 allowed)

- credentials for specific reports

- more goals (currently 4 allowed)

- mouse movement capture (see http://www.clicktale.com/features/watch-your-website-visitor...)

- api

- real time at least for the pages/views etc

- its corollary : notifications on alerts (spike, %more, %less)

- form analytics (see http://www.clicktale.com/features/form-analytics)

- automatic outbound links analytics (right now you have to do add some javascript manually to every link)

- remove data

- have a desktop version (like for adwords)

- have a better tracking of the adwords/targeted content network

- link google website optimizer to analytics (currently only with goals)

- navigation heatmap (show us visually the most common webflow used)

I really do agree with your first idea: I would love to give my referals a login/pwd that would show the stats associated with their referal links: pages view/goals/$

There's many different taxes as you can imagine, but I'd say a little bit more than 50%. With that you get plenty of benefits (school, health care, unemployment, you name it)... but we also have a huge government deficit. At some point, we'll have to change stuff. And that will be painful ! (Meaning that do should really not plan your vacations in France at that time)

Going after the "typical large outsourcing firm" seems too much for us: we suck at sales.

Internet is more our cup of tea, and easier to market I think, and yes I have to admit the dream to set up a service, let it run, then sit back and collect the checks it very tempting :)

Any hint on the pricing model you would see for the online service ?

I understand this point, that's why there the third question :)

Would you create A maven plugin ? An eclipse plugin ? A standalone application like codesmith ? How you would protect it ?

What pricing model would you choose ?
