I am running the google analytics on all my sites and they are working fine on all but one, which is my own product. I get about 15-20 hops a day to it that I see in clickbank from a bunch of different affiliates, but my analytics only ever shows around 4 total visitors for the entire day. Reffering urls are ?hop=affiliatename and ?hop=0 Where should I start looking for problems? I am no newb with html, or coding and I cant figure this one out...
I'm pretty sure that CB counts hops multiple times. In other words: if the same visitor clicks on a link multiple times, they count multiple hops. That would explain the discrepancy. In my experience with my own product I get more hops than unique visitors.
I also think clickbank hops may be recording some bots. I have some direct linking Yahoo Search Marketing campaigns paused and every few weeks or so a bunch of hops clock up for all the tracking IDs in my yahoo direct linking. If it also does this with google bot and the like, this would explain that.
Also remember Analytics needs the user to have javascript allowed on their browser to be able to track their visit.
