Hi all..
I am building a small private blog network. The domains are all on separate ip's.
My question realtes to the use of google analytics for my money sites. Would it be wise to have separate google accounts for each money site? I am concerned that there may be a problem if all my money sites are linked to the same account, since they will be sharing the same domain sources for some of their links.
Thanks

    Its a footprint alright. One I wouldn't risk having. Try these instead.

    It 's better to have different Google Analytics account using different IP!

    i would think it be better for you to create separate google accounts. Although it is more work it should pay off. But i think for easier rankings and traffic you should try creating really awesome content.

    Yes, it is always suggestible of having separate account for each of the Google Analytics to remain safe, if something goes wrong.

    I definitely agree with these people about having separate google analytics code for every domain.

    How is it a Private Blog Network if Google knows about it?

      They are sharing the same link sources and Google will see that whether you use GA or not on the money sites.

    I wouldn't use GA at all. Try statcounter or Piwik instead or the black helicopters will get you.

    yeah just to echo a bunch of others - don't use GA at all, statcounter works just fine or Piwik is a great self-hosted solution that keeps the prying eyes out.

      What information are you worried about providing them with that they do not already have about your site?

      And if you are taking that stance, all of you should be removing AdSense from all of your sites too.

        Honestly, I don't know that I would be providing them with any information that they don't already have, I just figure why bother? A "little" tinfoil hat never hurt anyone in this business, and don't claim that you know what data they may or may not get from being in GA vs. not being in GA, cause you obviously don't either.

        I also like statcounter better than GA and I don't use adsense on anything.

          I use clicky for all my sites and a webmaster account for each money site.

          No point tracking a PBN if you are using it for backlinking, who cares how many people come ? i just do it because I have enough clicky licences.

          Build the PBN ,Link IT, and add some relevant content

          NOW Forget your PBN & focus on adding content to your money site
