Goodbye Google…Analytics

I’ve removed Google Analytics from the web site. It wasn’t useful for a non-commercial site like this. It also didn’t appear to improve the search results. In DuckDuckGo and Bing searches this site is typically the first listed. In Google searches this site is typically on page 2. Google features realty sites (advertisers?) on the first page of search results.

Google used to have a motto “Don’t be evil.” They dropped the motto and the way of doing business. They’ve canceled others, so this is one of my steps to cancel them from my technology. The first page of the site still has a Google Map. It is the most visited feature of the site so I’ll explore replacing it with something else rather than simply removing it.
