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?
Personally, I think not having analytics is great.
As others have said, how this will impact your business will strongly depend on what customers you work with and how you acquire them.
If you heavily depend on customers finding you through that website in the first place, a human/authentic/privacy-respecting site will strongly speak to a minority of potential customers, but might be a competitive disadvantage. All the better when you have a market niche where you could afford this.
