Thanks to its acquisition of IndexTools just a few months ago, Yahoo has unveiled Yahoo! Web Analytics.

The service will be rolled out in phases throughout the rest of 2008 and into 2009. Yahoo! e-commerce customers will be the first major group (13,000 strong) but Yahoo! has already begun offering the service to advertisers seeking Yahoo!'s help building custom micro-sites as well as third party developers building widgets and apps for users.

Noticably absent from the announcement was the price of the service. Based on my experience with Yahoo! products in the past I would not expect it to be free, but wouldn't it be nice? I expect that the service has some relation to the recently announced Yahoo! APT platform.
