Google Analytics and GWT on Money Site?

530inc · Mar 5, 2014

Long story short: is it advisable to use GA and GWT on my money site? I know that on buffer sites that's out of the question. Also, I don't really plan on doing any heavy stuff, just enough to give me a good start as this is going to be a site that I want to keep. What's your advice guys?

Do it. I do it. I also use Google Chrome logged in with my real name. (not sarcasm)
No penalties. Paranoia is a disease.

I won't be using GA and GWT on any new BH sites.
I have used them on other sites and I feel it gives G too much data.
If you aren't BH then it probably isn't too much of a problem.

so, when should I be worried?

The only way for Google to connect your sites (assuming you have multiple sites) is if they're on the same analytics or WT accounts, or if you log into multiple accounts from the same IP all the time. If you're not going super hard blackhat or don't have multiple sites don't worry about it.

Its an open footprint you are leaving,if its on your money site.I won't be doing it anyway.As analytics have better replacements nowadays.or you need to register and use separate google accounts from different IP

I can see this is a tight one.

So, if I were not to use GA and go for PIWIK, what do I do to replace webmasters tools? And how do I submit the sitemap to Google to ensure indexing?
