It's known that google uses in it's ranking mechanisms behavioral data like toolbar and analytics statistics. You didn't think they do it for free did you? Nobody knows if that data is used to boost rankings or to even lower it. Think about your analytics stats. Would you like to loose rank on a page just because the bounce rate high? Google knows your bounce rate is high and that can mean the page wasn't relevant. Think about it. I rather use awstats and other free staff that usually comes with your hosting account.

Funny thing is, I hardly ever look at them now. I found that Statcounter gives me all the info I need to build link clusters and find out what keywords are bringing me traffic. I also found Statcounter easier to work with. Not sure but Google analytics are sometimes a bit complicated to me. (Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that). <em>Monika Mundell's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thewritersmanifesto/blogfeed/~3/268843514/' rel="nofollow">A Few Hickups</a></em> @ Don: yes, Google analytics are great too and free.
