Google Analytics on adult blogs

Why are the so many blogs without google analytics? mostly blogs on sensualwriter and other free blog hosts?

Even if you have let's say hundreds of blogs, isn't it good to track your traffic anyway?

I use both GA and Statcounter...I'll add GA to my main blogs and will organize my blog networks with Statcounter so I can keep track of each network's stats. I also put all my free hosted blogs on Statcounter rather then use GA with them.

I don't see any reason to use it unless you're just not capable of handling your own stats. If you're not, then great. You have an excuse for using a 3rd party stats program. Why give Google even more information on your site's visitors? There are lots of slack-jawed newbies that will tell you GA won't affect your traffic, but it will. I've seen it time after time.

I use it on a few sites but have noticed that most of my sites perform better without it. Now that G is sharing information between all its services I feel better if they are not hanging out in every room in my house, watching me masturbate, listing the TV shows I watch, counting my calories, etc.

I mean for God's sake how much information do I need to give them?

Jey is right, you must have Awstats in your cpanel. That's the best way to see the traffic on your websites.

I have found them to vary greatly from my server stats. For example. I might have a site that my server stats shows as getting 1000 uniques in a day and GA will only show about 400-600.

Google is as Google does. You're irrelevant to Google unless they can monetize the information you "supply" them with.

Analytics is an irrelevant, unnecessary joke. The only use it has is to allow Google to profile you, your site, and your traffic.

The stats aren't even close to being right. Might as well use Alexa.

Now that piwik can import logs too it just might replace server stats programs as well. I'm still testing its ability to handle log processing but so far it looks great.

Google is not a free source enterprise. They're in business for money and have shareholders to report to. Being able to know everything about you, your site and its users clearly offers more than enough return to justify retention of a team of programmers maintaining the code.

As to the freehosts, it would require that they allow you to edit the template, add your own code or have the GA plugin available, which many do not.

Oddly enough, SensualWriter does have a field for entering whatever code you would like to appear between the head tags - though I primarily use it for redirecting the blogs mobile visitors.

Google Analytics is for Google and Particularly google adsense. If you want to follow Bing and Yahoo along with it, you're better off with Wordpress plug ins like Wordpress Stats and Short Stats which give a nice brief analysis.

I am presently hearing the term "google it" replaced by "Bing it" on a lot of mainstream television shows. I don't know if this is paid product placement, culture changes or just people angry at google, but since google wants to be a social network instead of a search engine it's better of to gradually stop relying on them.

More than two thirds of my sign ups come from things other than google anyway

I'd bet $100 trillion that's paid product placement... no screenwriter on the planet would ever have a character saying "Bing it" on purpose. Even on live broadcasts I'm sure there's a standing agreement involved

I stopped using GA one day when I was searching for one of my own domains and found a scraper site saying something along the lines of "it appears the owner of this site also owns: - " followed by a list of all my other sites with the same GA code.

I didn't care for the idea of random people being able to view my whole site portfolio, it's bad enough that Google knows.

I second all three points.

Its more likely the way your site is build / coded will affect your rankings
