Matt Cutts Google Analytics ID Connected To Domaintools.com

I am really having fun using Adsspy.com. It’s not only great as a competitive tool, but also full of surprises.

First I figured out that a few web analysts own spammy sites content-rich websites, but that’s not really something to write about (call it web analyst integrity). It’s rather fun to bust some “Search” related folks, but I am too boring to call any wannabee SEO’s and SEM’s out (the good one’s understood already).

So there are only Google, Yahoo and MS employees left:
Not sure how, but I somehow I ended up “analyzing” Matt Cutts blog and his Google Analytics ID (US-52812) is surprisingly also the ID of:

domaintools.com
anonymouse.org
bgcatalog.net
bilderupload.eu
board.generation-fx.eu
gsm-fresh.com
j-riders.org

At this point I cannot explain it and it might be a flaw in Adsspy, but let the conspiracy begin :)
Is Matt Cutts a part of the domainer world, checking what domainers are up to?
Why is his GA id on some Russian Ringtone domain (bgcatalog.net).
What’s the connection to anonymouse.org, an anonymization site (which seems to sell a few bottom links)?

Maybe one of the famous SEOs , Domainer or Affiliate Marketer have an idea?
I bet it’s something quite stupid e.g. some webmasters trying to pretend to be white head by using a Google engineers analytics id :)

Edit: Ok…..Matt Cutts replied in the comments. I assumed it was just coincidence and he has nothing to do with it. Probably a flaw in the Adsspy system.
