Amazon recently introduced a free tier for its cloud offering. I signed up for AWS and while signing up for the free tier of S3, i found this

As part of AWS Free Usage Tier, you
can get started with Amazon S3 for
free. Upon sign-up, new AWS customers
receive 5 GB of Amazon S3 storage,
20,000 Get Requests, 2,000 Put Requests,
15GB of bandwidth in and
15GB of bandwidth out each month for
one year.

source:aws.amazon.com , emphasis mine.

20,000 GET requests & 2000 puts mean , 20,000 page views(max) and 2000 file uploads per month.

Isn't that lower than what App Engine offers 43,200,000 requests per day.Am I missing some thing, please help.

: Do what you do now, just add the static links to your other pages somewhere on the page (if they are not too many). Problem solved. ;)

: There are few things that I remember : Most of them tend to use frame design. They often had counter to tell you This page has been visited xxx times. They looked like Geocities pages.

: Should menu titles (h1, h2, h3...) be inside or outside the tag? Let's say I want to write a simple menu in HTML5. Should I write like this: <h1>My Menu</h1> <h2>Submenu 1</h2>

: I think GA will only give you the option to make Step 1 optional, so you may have to make a separate funnel.

Your calculation is only true if you are hosting a static website directly from S3. The free tier also includes the micro instance; and that will have EBS storage that you can use to host the site.

The uploads could be handled there too.

BTW: I'm not disputing that App-engine isn't cheaper. If its paradigm works for you, it almost certainly is less expensive.

Yes

Google Apps engine costs less. So if you can live with the restrictions (programming model!) of app engine, it is the by far more cost effective solution.
