What's interesting to me about the number of people who block Google analytics, is the number of people working with those analytics in product management, marketing or SEO, that are apparently unaware of anyone being able to block Google Analytics.
- dTal 7y agoHow would they? Their analytics don't show it.
- soared 7y agoEveryone I know who works in digital marketing (a lot of people) use ad block on their personal devices.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI often wonder whether Page and Brin install an ad blocker.
- alkonaut 7y agoI wouldn’t be surprised if it was mandated by company policy at google and Facebook. Any company that does machine images for employees should ship them with adblockers preinstalled. There are zero downsides.
- ss64 7y agoThe Timberland website used to block people from adding any items to the shopping basket if they had Google Analytics blocked... and thats when I switched brands.
- danillonunes 7y agoI think very few people who block Google Analytics are actually aware that they do it. They install an adblock to block annoying ads and enable privacy options to block scary trackers because they read somewhere that if they don’t do it they can be hacked and have their nudes leaked. Those are stuff done by shady companies and bad guys. Google is not one of those, it’s a respectable company. Only paranoid nerds who use that weird duck site go out of their way to block Google.
