    Default Identification of related sites through Analytics/Adsense etc..

    If you have a number of accounts using the same analytics or adsense account, does the big G assume that the sites are related?

    Yes, naturally. They have a team of geniuses developing tools that identify everything like that automatically. Seriously!

    Google certainly knows that the sites are related, but I think most SEOs agree that a shared Analytics account is not used as a negative ranking signal - otherwise webmasters wouldn't use the service! It does appear in whois information though, so if you are "pretending" to be two distinct sites from an advertising perspective, potential advertisers who do even the smallest amount of research will know.

    This'll scare the pants off you if you're worried about privacy:
    Go here http://spyonweb.com and enter your G Analytics code.

    Some would use this information to uncover profitable niches that their competitors have discovered...
