I’m pretty principled. I block as much tracking as I can in my personal use of the web because what I do isn’t anyone’s business but my own. So, the idea that I have to put trackers on my site is pretty noxious to me, and I have thus far refused.
This isn’t an ad and I don’t want my personal account associated with my business, so no URLs, but I would like to know what you all think: is this something worthwhile that people will appreciate, or am I letting my principles guide me off a cliff because nobody cares that much?
I have worked with sites that used a lot of tracking products. Usually, the only thing that mattered was the design of the site, and whether there was any friction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a marketing campaign that successfully used tracking data beyond what you have either way (who bought what product, what product sells how much).
I don’t use any tracking beyond looking at normal sever logs for any of my sites.
