Is Google Analytics Good For Your Website?

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by webspider20, Jul 25, 2010.

    I have many sites and I heard recently from a few people that if you promote affiliate products on your site to take off GA because google doesn't like sites that are there primarily to make money. Is this true?

    What I was told was that if you have GA on your site you are more likely to get a human reviewer more often and if you are promoting affiliate products such as clickbank and amazon your site will be ranked lower on the serps because of it.

    Let me know what you think, I really need some help here. I like analytics, but not if it will hurt my sites.

    Some people are just paranoid. Affiliate sites are not even against Google ToS.
    A lot of affiliate sites are of poor quality, with little original content and offer a poor experience to visitors - that's why they don't do well in serps, not because they use Google Analytics.

    Analytics is good for any website, no matter what the niche. If Google concerned themselves over such things they certainly wouldn't be where they are today.

    I have been using Google Analytics since the middle of November. While a few weeks of stats are not enough to discuss the complete capabilities of the software, it is enough to do a basic review and introduce readers to the basic capabilities.

    I stop paying attention to Google Analytics because my web host gives me more accurate and up to date stats. You are better off taking advantage of your host stat area if you want to really know how your site is doing online.

    Google Analytics is very good for your website as it gives accurate results and shows exact statistics of traffic coming to your website.

    I think that analytics are good, if you don't like analyzing something like AWStats. Personally, I prefer AWStats over Analytics, because it is a little more in depth, and gives you better control on what you can see.

    haha. Google analytics harming website. Nah. Google analytics does nothing more than track results. It does not affect search engine ranking at all. Google analytics is a must have.
