Today there were no new page views tracked on google analytics, even
after switching to a android 2.2 test device. I was wondering maybe if
my app was somehow blacklisted by the google analytics site. I googled
for a blacklist or blacklist info and came up with nothing. Does
anyone know how blacklisting works, how to find out if your app is
blacklisted, what the reason for that blacklisting is, etc? My app
shows up as being fine on the Android Market developers home page, and
the google analytics site has a green check mark next to the site name
that I think means that it's OK to receive information.
