Exciting News! Inside Adwords has announced that Google has started sending invitations to the first set of customers who submitted their email addresses for a Google Analytics invitation code. We’ve now started sending invitation codes to the first set of customers who submitted their email addresses for a Google Analytics account. If you receive an invitation code from us, you can sign up and begin tracking the performance of your websites and AdWords campaigns.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve begun re-opening signups for Google Analytics on an invitation basis. For more information on when you might receive an invitation, please read our Progress Updates page.

As of the time of this writing, there have been no listings on eBay for others to ‘auction’ their Google Analytics invitation, but after all, these are hot ‘tickets’ indeed and it’s probably just a matter of time.

UPDATE 4/5/2006:

It happened, just as I predicted! You can now find your Google Analytics Invitation Code on eBay. Check it out.
