Google penalizes you for using Google Analytics
Tangent: I find GA to be mostly useless nowadays for any website used by a more tech savvy community. When comparing the GA results to server logs and a separate JS logging script, and already discounting for bots, it's clear GA is only counting about 10% of my visits.Too many people blocking that script. I have about 20 different sites using it that I manage in some form bit cannot couch for it anymore.
