But you aren’t concerned that the “picture” will become murkier?

Even if Google goes ahead with this madness – people will have to go to considerable effort to implement it. It will already be on their minds – meaning chances are they were already blocking GA tracking by having Javascript turned off or blocking cookies. So, these people probably weren’t being tracked anyway. Web Analytics isn’t about exact numbers anyway, so you’ll still be able to measure the behavior of people are are opt-in – which will still be 95% of traffic. No analytics package can track 100% of traffic.

Having dealt with the mess that is Omniture and handled the switch to GA – I would never go back (and neither would my company – it costs $10,0000/year). We’re forced to use Webtrends by some clients and we hate that too. We’ve invested a lot in GA and intend to keep on the course.
