Is Yahoo! Analytics free?

This is a short one -> no, not really.

It is “free” unless you are a serach marketing customer of Yahoo! … this is not what i call free, do you?

Other way: You are free to contact the lovely YACN (Yahoo Analytics Consultant Network). And if you find any agency who will give you a single Y!Analytics account for free (and i am talking about free, like -> free, you know what i mean) and without any additional service charges (which i am not attacking -> good service costs money, thats what i earn my money with) -> tell me then.

P.S. I am still in love with Y!Analytics, don´t get me wrong. It´s simply an  awesome analytics tool. But please stop talking about a free tool unless it´s not free for all (and that is what everybody understands when they hera the word FREE)
