http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10068 --- Comment #71 from Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis <bhawkeslewis@googlemail.com> 2010-08-29 09:26:40 --- (In reply to comment #70) > You sure about Google Analytics using noscript? I know that Google discourages the use of noscript[1] because it has been so badly abused. I checked out the code for Google Analytics, and I don't see the use of noscript. > > [1] http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=371b9ed951f93d9d&hl=en Google Analytics itself does not use "noscript" (or support JS-stripping or JS-disabled scenarios at all) - see my correction in comment #43. You're citing a suggestion by a Google Employee for a non-analytics use-case, not an official recommendation by Google for all use-cases. Google themselves *do* provide code that uses "noscript", including for analytics use-cases such as conversion tracking: http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=115794 They also employ "noscript" on the Google Search page, the Gmail inbox, and the very forum page you cited - though not necessarily in ways I would recommend! Also note the rather idiosyncratic use of "noscript" in Web Optimizer: http://www.google.com/support/websiteoptimizer/bin/answer.py?answer=61149#m3 http://www.google.com/support/websiteoptimizer/bin/answer.py?hl=en-au&answer=64418 This blogpost explains how its use in Web Optimizer works, in case anyone's wondering: http://www.gwotricks.com/2009/05/server-side-dynamic-section-variations.html -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
