Microsoft Buys DeepMetrix
Over at WebmasterWorld forums, one of the administrators points out that Microsoft has acquired DeepMetrix, a web analytics solution, in response to Google purchasing Urchin.
From the press release:
The one-stop-shop experience of Microsoft adCenter will allow advertisers to track ad campaign performance and report results in a holistic and measurable way. In response to advertiser feedback, Microsoft has not only built adCenter to deliver innovative reporting capabilities, but also will announce that it had acquired DeepMetrix Corp., a privately held provider of Web analytics and business intelligence tools for online marketers and publishers. Expanding upon DeepMetrix technologies such as LiveSTATS.BIZ, Microsoft will deliver new Web analytics applications in future releases of Microsoft adCenter.
I think that they will offer it free of cost much like Google offered Urgin to their publishers.
