One of my client site is having problem. When checking it in firefox 3 I am getting the message that google-analytizs.org has been blocked or something like that.

Just saw this post. I understand the previous poster, but I disagree.
Google Analytics holds 40% of the market. I am way more afraid of them using my data. Just look how expensive PPC advertising got.

>>I’m not sure what the big deal is?

I’m not sure why the ads company give a lot of $$ if it’s not big deal.. I don’t think those ads companies just want to donate to SiteMeter… :)

Advertising makes the internet work… that is unless you want to pay for all that content you consume for free right now.

Agreed

I was doing some research and the cookies don’t seem to contain any personal information

Can you give me the details about that? How did you do some researches and how can you make sure that they don’t track any personal information? I believe that they will track which site we are visiting at least.. if they don’t track any personal info, what did they track? It would be great if you can give me more information about that..

It’s not like they’re serving ads on your site

Yes. I know.. I was not talking about serving ads.. we are talking about putting tracking cookies in our browsers..

Mainly, there are two things that I dont like about SiteMeter …

1) Why didn’t Sitemeter reply about that officially? in their blog or etc

2) Why didn’t they let the user know about that before pointing this issue by StatsCounter? If we know about that beforehand, those cookies might not be an issue for some users..

Just stumbled upon this today… I’m not sure what the big deal is? Advertising makes the internet work… that is unless you want to pay for all that content you consume for free right now. I was doing some research and the cookies don’t seem to contain any personal information. Based on what I’ve found out, it seems Specific Media only advertises on big-name premium sites, and they don’t do popups or anything. It’s not like they’re serving ads on your site or anything and they have an opt out option.

Hey dx-xel,

Yes.. Adblock Plus ext is pretty good. I’m also using it too.
