A few days ago, I got an email from GA about Google Apps or some such. I haven't used GA in years, so I thought I'd log in to my old account and delete whatever was in there. It showed one domain that I was forced to surrender because of a cease and desist letter, so I haven't done anything with that domain in a long time.
And now for the creepy part...
Just as I was ready to delete the site, I noticed that GA is showing traffic data for this domain for the first time in several months (according to the graph). At first I thought maybe someone ripped the content from my old site (maybe just before I took the site down) and didn't bother removing the GA code. I went to the site, viewed the source on all pages, and there's NO analytics code!
How is it that traffic data for a site that I no longer operate is showing up in my GA account when this site doesn't even use GA?
