    Hi SEO Guys

    What are your opinions on this.

    Do you think google may use google analytics to associate websites with an owner and then use that to detect blog networks ?

    Cheers
    Tom

    I was just thinking about this. I have about 50 sites on my account. I am also looking for answers.

    Cheers,
    Andy

    Off the top of my head I would say no. I have tons of folks in my analytics account that are clients and not related to me in that sense. I don't typically subscribe to the notion that bit G is evil.

    I would be less worried about the info that GA provides Google, and more concerned about the information the Google Toolbar is telling them. I have never installed the Google toolbar on my primary laptop. I have it on my old laptop for any time I need to see a visible PR. But I don't want them watching EVERYTHING I'm doing in my browser.

    Thanks for your responses guys.

    Im just a bit worried about this, Google are trying to crack down on stuff like this.

    They could quite easily build into their algorhythm to check websites linking to a perticular site and then check if those websites are linked.

    Would you risk it ?

    Google are'nt going to tell you if they do, their SEO morals seem quite strict to me. If i was google i would be doing everything in my power to stop people exploiting the system.

    Whos Baidu ?

    Cheers
