Looking for "official" position re: google analytics & similar scripts on freesites

Bill · 2008-10-15, 01:34 PM

As a followup to a discussion being had in this thread:

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...t=48990&page=2

Bjorn, the owner of one of the bigger gaylinklists (a different breed of linklists than the ones we are used to), wanted to know this...

"Is there definitly no way of getting sites listed which use Google Analytics script? Say you dont put it on the warning / first page but only the main and gallery pages?".

I've already explained a bit of the history regarding counters and the expression <script type="text/javascript"> on fresite pages - but it's been a while since it even occured to me to put a counter on any freesite page, and I don't know if the new trusted submitter rules allow it.

So, thats the question on the table - google analytics on freesites - okay now, or bannable?

Not banable, but rejectible. I only ban people that repeatedly break a rule, since they are not paying attention to the rejection emails & wasting my time.

That being said, I really do HATE to bend rules, even if it is for something like this where I'm 99.44% sure noting bad would ever come from it.

As for it's use by a Trusted Submitter, I have no problem at all.

I don't have a problem with it either.

I personally encourage the use of google analytics... it's helped me out quite a bit.

I like and dislike Greenie's stance on it though, Google Analytics isn't at the least harmful, and even people that -arent- trusted submitters can (and often really want to) use it to gain a better insight in what they're doing right and wrong.

Why not allow analytics outright? I personally wouldn't see a problem with it.

no problem with it on my lists though java it may be (inmost cases) I think it's safe to say G wouldn't mess with it

I was just searching on this topic, and found this thread, as I'm putting google analytics on all my AVS sites, and now want to put on my free sites too.

Given this, anyone submitting to any of the link lists in my tagline can use Google analytics on their sites.

And I hope I didn't just get banned submitting to a bunch of LL's yesterday, because I put it on my free site without even thinking about there might be some that don't allow it.

Anything that sets off a cookie alert gets rejected but I think I'll start making an exception for the cookie that Google Analytics sets since it seems to be harmless and easy to identify.

SheepGuy · 2009-02-21, 02:08 PM

It's cool with me.

pc · 2009-02-21, 04:17 PM

Everyone who submit to me I already know so I'm OK too.

Fonz · 2009-02-23, 03:08 AM

No problem with Google Analytics here either.

kelle · 2009-02-23, 12:29 PM

Seems like it is ok with some but not with others, too bad, I would really love to use Google Analytics.
