Google Analytics has a new feature that most people don't know about, exposing the identity of anonymous bloggers. Wait....what?

I found his other blog in under a minute — a thoughtful site about technology and local politics, detailing his full name, employer, photo, and family information. He worked for the local government, and if exposed, his anonymous blog could have cost him his job. So, how did I do it? The unlucky blogger slipped up and was ratted out by an unlikely source: Google Analytics.

Yeah. I've seen that used before in investigations. Public access and all.
 
duh! use anything that is common between 2 sites will tie them together.
 
If you use the same Google ID on all of your sites, they can be linked! Who woulda thunk?!

They didn't even reveal the site. What a bunch of BS.

I bagged a 250lbs squirrel last week and ate it. But I have nothing to prove it.
