Does using analytics effect your serps?

I heard yes from some and others from no.

Basically the question is, if by using analytics on your site can it hurt your serps rankings?

Thanks

 

it doesn't affect your rankings at all. either way. anyone that told you it does, ask them to show you proof

 

I would be very strange situation - and tousands of people woud been decived. No... don't worry about that.

 

I have a site that is using analytics and that is #1 for its keyword on Google, MSN and Yahoo.

I also have another site that doesn't uses analytics and it is also #1 on Google, MSN and Yahoo for its own keyword.

 

No influence on SERP either you use or not......it is just a way to how know about your site traffic and content performance etc...

 

What could POSSIBLY be a reason for them to penalize someone for doing this? "He is using our system resources, we have to ban him from our SERPs!!!!1111"

 

I'm sure that analytics like everything else google provides takes a look at the data and may use it when creating search stats... just like the google toolbar. It likely doesn't have too much of an effect however.

 

analytics do not affect your rankings directly,but they can be effective indirectly.there are lot of info available from analytics which you can use to optimize your site for the best for your traffic,find out which keyword is the key player,etc... which will in turn affect your SERPS
first i was a noob on that.i didn't understand the purpose of many functions,but now am using it well.am even reading a book(hard copy not an ebook) about analytics to know it well....well i love it.

 

i have 4 sites and they are improving a lot ....and imp fact is that i had installed analytics code on all the sites ....

i dnt know if what made you think about that ......its just a piece of code inserted to track ..it has gt nothing to do with SERPS

 

it doesn't affect your rankings at all.

 

No. But I am almost positive that adwords does on a couple of my sites.

 

Using Google Analytics on your site will doesn't affect your SERP.

Its a javascript & search engine robots ignore the same.

 

Analytics will help your site optimization technique with its results ..It wont affect ur rankings

 

i was thinking about this the other day. I think the only way it would hurt you is if you have one site in your account that's like "for kids" and another xxx site. They could see that as a bad relationship like they look at your server to see what else you host.

 

it's an intresting idea that analitics will hurt your serp ranking. it's a tool to count your visitors . it will not break your serp ranking or it will not effect your page rank

 

It has no affect on rankings

 

Dude, prove me how Google Adwords is helping to increase your SERP!!! I would really love to hear an answer about this

 

I was half way joking. I had a site using adwords and it gained a pr3 and got a little se traffic. I stopped using adwords and it fastly dwindled down to a pr0 and very very little traffic.

 

It has no affect on rankings.it is only site stat.

 

yes analytics effects my serps a great deal! it lets me know if i need to improve anything to constantly keep my site optimized! thus increasing my serps. not decrease.
