Update 3/19 9pm: looks like google-analytics.com is back up. See this tip on how to locally cache urchin.js to avoid this in the future.
Noticed Firebug picking up Javascript “urchinTracker is not defined” errors on 6bucksforfree last night ~2am EST but didn’t pay much attention. This morning I’m getting them on every website I load (which certainly says something about the service’s popularity)
Looks like www.google-analytics.com is down, which is the site they suggest everyone use for the urchin.js script.
On google.com/analytics they reference urchin.js at https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js, which appears to be up. What gives, Google? Forget to renew the domain again ?
