So if I'm making a bunch of mini sites / auto blogs for the sole purpose of sending link juice to my big money making site and I'm tracking traffic with google analyticss, isn't that just putting a big target on my back ?
 


By mini sites, are you talking about new domains, or subdomains/etc.?

What are you using to autoblog?
 
a mixture of my own domains (not sub domains) and free hosting blogs (like blogger) but I would be tracking them all through GA so that's quite an easy way for google to catch on to what I'm doing ...don't you think?
 
You and I think alike. I was wanted to do the same thing but everyone on here said, do not link them together even for link juice.

My thoughts would be yes, big G would know you own them all.

yup!

Anything like this when you start doing it in quantities, *could* be a footprint.

Just realize and randomize :rasta:

The question I have for yea would be; why in the world are you using GA on a bunch of sites that have the sole purpose of ONLY pushing link juice? GA is meant for tracking human visitors, your interested in gaining index counts, a bit of authority, and some stickyness to push the love on up to a site that really matters...

imo, I'd look into:

Analog: WWW logfile analysis
AWStats - Free log file analyzer for advanced statistics (GNU GPL).
Home of The Webalizer (personal favorite)

These are all server side solutions that parse through your web server logs (i.e. leave zero footprints on a webpage).

The only reason I could see you using GA for this is so you can do a bit of niche research on the few human visitors you get. The server side solutions will do this for you as well, they will tell you the query that the user used in an engine before landing on your site, along with all sort of other useful information (ex: how google bot hits you received after a backlinking campaign)

Good info Musa, thanks...yeah after I posted this, I thought that I would just have to go with my awstats ( I just like the bells and whistles of GA, I think) for all my mini sites and just GA on the money making site it's self.

That would indeed be a big footprint.
If you're really paranoid, you would also have to use different IP addresses logging into your blogger accounts, because the same IP logging into each blogger account linking to your money site...

You get the idea ;)
 
Couldn't you just create a new Analytics account to view the stats of your autoblogs / mini sites?

It at least reduces the chance they'll nail you for creating spam sites to link to your own site.

Otherwise, AWstats should work just fine.

Google pays off the mods at DP.

The only true safe place right now is ubercamp - but only because Google doesn't have any employees who are gay enough to be accepted - yet.
