perhaps the list of most popular URLs

I have compared the latest metrics currently published @osol.org with
what google analytics provides and there is the list of differences

  - GA has got "site overlay" where you can see what the people click
    and how often, I'm using it to analyze layout of my pages

  - GA has got more detailed location info

  - GA provides top 5 entrances and top 5 exists (kind of most
    popular URLs)

  - Omniture OTOH tracks the osol registrations and forum postings

just my .2 cents
Martin

P.S. it's not that I'm saying Omniture is bad, just that I use GA and
find it nice and useful
