New GA account to track extension pages?

[cnanney]

On this page:

http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=188739

It says:
"Although it's possible to simply create a new profile within an
existing account, we recommend creating a new account so that the data
for your extension's page isn't impacted by the data from your other
websites."

What? Can someone elaborate? How can data from one site profile affect
the data of others?

I believe it means, to create another website profile, do not use your existing site's profile. Easier to track what is happening.

Yeah, I think the wording is a bit off.  You shouldn't have to create a whole separate account.

I thought it might be possible they meant to say not to create a new
profile for an existing DOMAIN, but to add a profile for a new domain,
but then in step two it says:

"Create a new account for your extension's details page. On the
Overview page, click the "My Analytics Accounts" menu on the top-right
corner of the page and select Create New Account."

I'll just assume the person writing that page was confused and add it
as a new profile for my existing account unless someone tell me the
dangers of doing so.
