Performancing re-initiates metrics; more options, and a monthly fee for most

This morning I noticed that Performancing has re-initiated Metrics to their lineup. The biggest changes are: more options, better looking interface and a fee.

There are now RSS options and a SPY option (live view) and a bunch of other updates as well. Overall it looks very well put together. It would be nice to see a comparison between this new metrics service and ExtremeTracking.

From a fee standpoint, it is a bit confusing but this is what I gather. Under 1,000 pageviews a day is free. Over 1k but under 10k is $2 a month and over 10k is $1 per year per thousand average page views. In their example, 50,000 average daily page views would cost $50 a year. 

As for the main Performancing site, I think that Performancing has lost the community they had when I originally became a member. It feels like a blog about how to blog by blog experts (the editors) with an occasional member written post thrown in. The forums seem sparse now (this was one of my favorite parts of the old site).

I am guessing we will see more blogger apps from the new Performancing.
