I hope this isn't too much of a noob question, but I am unfamiliar with GA, particularly in this context. I am just wondering, who will have access to the GA data? If I have a paid account and I am using GA, is the data restricted to just my eyes? does DW as a company have access to that data? is it available to the public?
I'm not too worried about people talking about me behind my back, but I think having it turned on when you write fanfic, or make icons or layouts or post photos will be great. You'll be able to see who is hotlinking (once DW have their version of scrapbook running) who is reading your fic (or at least how many people are), how many people are looking at your photos/art even if they aren't commenting. I know on LJ I had a photo blog for a brief period, but rarely got comments. Would have been nice to know if people were looking at least, would have been so much more motivating, pushing me to add more content.
