WordPress Jetpack & SEO?

Bulldozer · 08-18-2011, 06:47 PM

I am running a WordPress site.

My hosting provider GoDaddy.com charges a fee for displaying Stats. I don't like to pay for stuff that is free evrywhere else, so I installed the Analytics For WordPress plugin.

However, I kind of don't trust the data that the plugin sends to Google Analytics.
So I thought of alternatives and I came by the Jetpack plugin for WordPress (actually, it was already installed in my WP Dashboard).

How accurate is Jatpack?
I mean, yeah, the data it provides is not as detailed as the crazy diagrams you get from Google Analytics, but it still gives all the basic information that you need - number of visits, keywords used to find your site, etc.

Does the fact that your web site is cloud connected to WordPress.com via this cloud plugin affect your SEO rankings?
I mean, what if you don't have a single post on your WordpPress.com blog?
Will this be detected by Google and will your main site's ranking suffer from it?

Anyone used it? Any reviews, tips, tricks, etc?
Thanks!
