SEO Blueprints

Although I mentioned this before, this article really got me fired up enough to write a post about it. Why share your keywords, conversion percentage, and stats, (the most important information you have for an online business) with someone else? Most people do it because it’s easy and free. Two great reasons, but at what cost? If you are making a 200% return with some keywords, and since every Adwords account has different pricing (Quality Score, etc), couldn’t Google easily just charge you more on those keywords? Or worse yet, create their own CPA campaign for your best money makers and wipe you out?

I looked around and found a few alternatives to Google Analytics. Feel free to share more information in the comments.

I currently use AWStats and Google Analytics (without the conversion tracking on), a few scripts, the built-in tracking from the affiliate companies, or don’t have conversion tracking at all. I am looking for a better solution, and will provide an update when I find one.
