Yes, there are differences:
Analysis usually implies some kind of quantitative and qualitative characteristics. If you look at the services for analyzing sites ( www.digimetr.com , pr-cy.ru and others), then you will understand that the same characteristics are taken for all types of sites (news, commercial, information) .
