I dont think that Analytics are as much of a problem as people make it out to be. Google knows everything about you anyway, unless you want more features I see no reason why you should worry so much about analytics.

I removed all tracking from google analytics and replaced it with piwik. Opensource tracking stuff almost the same as analytics and am running it from my VPS.

Google changed their privacy policy for a reason. You can't delete those tools fast enough as that data can be used against you. Don't forget Google+ as well. ANY Google product assigned to your domains can collect data.

I think products like GA and Webmaster Tools can definitely collect data, but not a whole lot more than what big G already knows about you through crawling your website. Though I'm all for using an alternative to GA, you never know...

Yes, and never use webmaster tools and analytics again unless you go 100% white hat and on at least a mini authority site.

I have found it doesn't make a difference.

It helps in the fact Google knows all the pages of your website so it indexes them. Regarding back link data they know that anyway WM tools does not make a difference.

I added analytics and webmasters to one of my whitehat sites and it jumped up a place overnight.

Absolutely delete any type of Google spyware on your site....google webmaster tools...google analytics and so on!!!

Dont even do any searches on Google for blackhat stuff without hiding your IP.

Pretty reasonable. If you are not making a scam, spam, mfa site, you should install those tools.

It will increase your authority on google eyes.

Not a completely correct answer since adding analytics or signing up for webmaster tools doesn't give Google more information on your backlinks - it only gives you information that Google already knows.

Nevertheless I would delete analytics as it gives Google more information on where your website traffic is coming from as well as bounce rate (unless of course those statistics are favorable). I still use webmaster tools though, since it's not like Google is getting any extra information.
