Google Analytics - Opinions on whether it favours users over non users

    I'd like to hear people's opinion on whether or not you think Google favours websites that use Google Analytics code in their web pages as oppposed to those who don't.

    Indeed the same goes for Google adsense and adsense for search.

    No, this is just silly to assume otherwise. Review some top search results, you'll see most probably don't use any Google services and still rank just fine. This is a nice "thread bait" title to get a lot of posts. ;)

    I don't think that google favors people that use their analytics.

    No, I don't think so. If this were the case, all of my sites would rank well. :D

    I think Google Analytics don't help its users to improve search ranking.

    Them using adsense isnt? If you are using adsense you are making them money.

    Although having said that. I wouldnt think so. We have to remember although we all think of google as the big bad bully. They are too big. And something that big would demolish everything google has spent millions creating

    I can't see that as a possble thing. More than that, they are searching for good and informative content...if you use googla analytics , thats not a sign of good content.

    For some time, the consensus has been that organic placement and the use of Adwords have no bearing on another. In that you have be an Adword user to have access to Analytics, it therefore seems very unikely indeed that it will have any effect on your organic position. In a sense, Google's left (organic) hand does not know what its right (Adword) hand is doing.

    There is no truth to this. Google is a neutral search engine that displays the best results with the users in mind. In my opinion everything they do is for the benefit of the end-user or should I say the internet user conducting the searches. This is one of many reasons why they consistently rank at the top of the food chain among all other search providers.

    it is just only a imagination, but in reality i am agree with all th emembers who said Google Analytics does not favour those who use analytic. It is just a tracking and monitor tool for your website.

    No way would G discriminate.

    They have one defining feature to their search: neutrality. They won by being the most principled search engine. To do otherwise would go against their philosophy.

    Even if you don't believe that because perhaps you are cynical, believe this: G wouldn't discriminate because there is little profit in it.

    Google Analytics is a must have tracking element in my opinion.

    You will be amazed if you start using it and explore into its functions.

    I can't see it improving pagerank at all either.

    I've just started using it though and I'm not even sure that it's working. I've been linking to a blog a bit but have had hardly any hits at all. Seeing as I'm here, would you guys be able to do me a favour and click the link in my sig if you're reading this please? The site won't interest most of you as it's about soccer, but I'm wanting to know if the code in my page is actually working properly. Obviously I get no benefit if you click on the link apart from seeing if analytics is working, but it's really bugging me now because I'm not sure if it is or not.

    Anyway, if you can I'll just edit this post to say whether or not it worked, don't want to be spamming someone else's thread up. Making a new thread just to ask this seemed stupid though. :rolleyes:

    Also : how often does this thing update it's records? Hourly or something?

    I don't thingk using google analytics has anything to do with ranking.

    As far as when they update that seems to be the question. I was on a thread not sure if it was here or another forum this am and they said 3am for EST but there noticed some huge delays in last 2 days.

    Google doesn't have to favor sites with adcents ads because just about every stinking site on the planet has had one, or will have one of their ads running.
