This is a good point and I agree for most businesses, you wouldn't want to publish your bi. But slimsag makes an interesting & valid point: that if you are confident enough in the privacy policy of your analytics, you should be able post it publicly without alteration.

Well even if you know that nobody can be identified from your data alone, if everyone releases data, it will become easier and easier to cross-reference and still identify people.
How would you identify anyone by a delayed visitor number on articles?
If it's only that it would be pretty hard. Aggregated data would (probably?) be relatively safe.
