Even if I change my c class ips for each site and even if I change my account for each domain (or ip) for Google Analytics/webmaster tools, if I log in from the same computer (meaning same service provider ip at home), G will know that they are owned by me?

So should I not use Google analytics(or webmaster tools)?
Or paranoia?
 
my advice is to use open source alternative:

hxxp://piwik.org/

it's free.

I have bad exp with analytics on blackhat sites, they seem to get banned faster, but maybe it's just my paranoia.

piwik is very nice and sufficient for my needs, so i stick with it. plus it's real time, when GA is not :)
 
Statcounter.com is another possibility and free is always good

That is an amazing piece of code, thank you very much for sharing it. I have begun wondering how I was going to accurately track stats and still be safe from prying eyes and this is definitely it. Not only can you track your stats but this thing also tracks downloads! Effin' amazing.

Thanks again,

Would you send a letter to the gardener who's flowers you keep stomping on, with a picture attached of dandelions on your shoes?

I am using ana.. but I am not going mental with things. only slightly treading on a few.

dont see what the issue iss...

made me laugh
 
I usually only use wp stats for my wordpress bh blogs. Getting referrers, keywords and visits mostly enough for my needs. I still use analytics on white hat sites for better SEO purposes.
 
One point on piwik - the site you're using to host it appears in your target page source so it's an obvious footprint unless you host piwik separately on each domain. That, and other problems with the software, were why I stopped using it.
