Adwords reported CPC vs. analytics report

    Hello all,

    I have noticed that Google Adwords reports (and charges me for) a number of clicks daily that is significantly more than the number of clicks Google analytics reports coming from "google (cpc)". I have my campaign set to appear only in sponsored search (not in the search network). Can anyone tell me why that would be? I emailed Google customer service about this, sighting specific days for them to check. That was 4 days ago and I have not received any kind of response.

    Appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks, Scott

    Google analytics is not 100% precise it is more something like approximately information.

    I have also noticed this. I just started using Adwords with Analytics and there is definitely a discrepancy.
