Are you nervous about linking adsense to google analytics?

    I got my invite to link my adsense account with google analytics. Is there any concern about doing this? Will google suddenly have too much information about my sites and do something bad?

    Part of me thinks they already know it all anyway, heck, they're the ones paying me every month, but still I wonder.

    I would love to have it linked, because my old stats program died and I'm still looking for a new one.

    anyone nervous about it? Think it's going to get a bunch of accounts shut down?

    Thanks,
    HP

    Ultimately this is the way we look at it... My website is not a competitor to Google. I want the best tools, research and reporting available to me to improve my business and if it involves giving some data to Google then so be it to some degree.

    No, but I was planning on doing it to see if it can increase my revenue or not.

    Why should it shut your account down?

    i think they know all they need to know already - analytics are just a way for you to see extra info for your own purposes

    If you don't do any thing blackhat, then they won't shut you down... Analytics or not.

    Actually I think you'll be safer with Analytics!

    If someone (not you) is click bombing your site it will probably be much easier for Google to exclude you as the guilty person...

    Tracking is horrible on my sites. Analytics catches maybe 5% of clicks. I was initially excited about adsense integration, but now seeing how the tracking code developed so far isn't working well enough, I don't even look.
