i am looking at my google analytics for both of my forums and i see that they had only about 10 visitors each! and the real time counter on my forum was saying there was over 15 visitors viewing on average throughout the day! usually i get close to 200 each day, and my adsense account said i had over 2400 impressions!!! something is going on, was analytics down again for a little bit, beacuse i know i had more visitors than this! someone help me out here!
I don't think the G Analytics was down coz if it was down then google will display a apology screen during the login of Analytics I had seen it one month back... It said we are sorry that we couldn't track the traffic to ur site from --- to ---and something like that
I also will not agree that Google Analytics would have been down... Adithya's right, you will get an apology from the system, if any sort of thing will happen...
I use analytics and didnt notice any change in my traffic figures that would suggest that it was down at any point.
This is the reason I use statcounter service along with google analytic. It gives you to something to compare with.
I had similar traffic tracked through google as any other day. However if google can't track or looses data they do let you know but usually a few days later.
Maybe this is because alot of your visitors are using any NoScript addons that prevent google analyctics from running? That's why I use webalizer with google analyctics.
