    I was trying to get into one ad network and they asked me to share my google analytics data, so is it safe to share it?

    surely of course, sometimes you have to share it to potential advertisers. You can also share it here on DP, look at the upper right of the DP forums.

    yaa it is safe but if you select "do not share my Google Analytics data", you will not be able to use benchmarking and may not have access to specific ads-related features such as Conversion Optimizer.

    Absolutely, the more transparent you are to your advertisers and clients, you will get more closer to them and might gain their trust too. It is completely safe sharing your data, go ahead ;)

    Also if you are planning to sell your website, buyer can get a clear visible idea about your traffic, content, etc...

    its safe unless you dont trust a company to de identify you and might potentially on sell your data (keywords, leading page info etc) to a competitor.

    I am wary about giving away such sensitive info, but if you have to to make money, then I guess you do.

    As long as you don't share them in public or to a competitor, the risk is minimal.

    Of course it is 100% safe, because it is only a statistical data and they would be needing it to check the popularity of your web site, so they can finalize deal according to their rules.

    Sure fr00z,

    Very safe to share especially if you are looking to get advertisers for your site or what to be an affiliate. Your website traffic can be used to approve you in affiliate programs that you decide to join

    Yes off course its safe enough. In fact a lot of people add widgets showing their website's traffic analysis to their blogs/websites.

    Make sure they're not an admin or a competitor posing as a buyer. Otherwise, it's safe.
