Analytics not accurate?

I have a clickbank vendor account and the stats in clickbank don't seem to correspond
with google analytics. Is there a lag in analytics?
What do you think of google analytics accuracy? thanks

 

I wouldn't bet much that Google Analytics is indeed 100% accurate. Again, it all comes down to how the tracker tracks the visitors, visits, bounces, etc.. I only use Google Analytics to at least give me the almost accurate statistical data of my website so that I could figure out how it performs in the search engines based on mere percentages. I wouldn't rely on solid numbers.

 

I also can't say if Google Analytics is really 100% accurate. Though I admit I usually base my site's performance on this tool because there's no other tool can provide the same free web analytics report as what it provides to webmaster.

 

Hi
No tracking tool is 100% accurate, but in statistic you also work with a 95% significance level. You can never compare two different tools, because all of them track each their way.

The important thing here is to look at the changes in time. Did your number of visits increase or decrease?

 

i use google analytics for my business website and i am 100% satisfied with it's results.

 

Hey there,

Im with you on this , I think that the figures for the searches on each keyword can be manipulated by google. some of the apparent clicks per page just dont add up.

 

statcounter.com will help u lot it is invisible counter .........try it...will give u.......exact result.........

 

I'm using, google analytics, extreme tracking and statcounter for the same site. But they are showing different stats.
I don't know how accurate google anayltics.

 

Google Analytic is always gives you accurate tracking report for your websites if you want to get perfect tracking for your particular link so you can use url builder I hope it’s helpful to you ....

 

thanks for the input guys...I'll also check out stat counter.
traffic seems to be increasing which is good.

 

Okay, one thing that you need to realize about Google Anaytics is that it will only track pages that are "Java Script Enabled".

For that reason, it will always give you a low reading compared to other stat counting programs.

So there is a lot of useful info to gain from Google Analytics, but you need to keep the actual numbers in perspective.

 

Google analytics i am using account from last 2 years. I have found approximately 100 accurate.If any problem through this tool.
you can go through Omniture tool, State Counter, Yahoo analytics tool.

 

Google analytics is the accurate one, may be there is some error in your website.

 

according to me the analytics is the besr and give the proper results it also depends on the custom filter that you apply on the analytics

 

Google Analytics is the best free one

 

No one is Tools 100% accurate. But Google Analytics is better than others tools.

 

great, thanks for the input guys. I'm going to stick with google analytics,
but also consider some of the other ones for cross referencing.

happy holidays!

 

I think most of the good tools are not free. However, analytics is the best of all the free ones.

 

Analytics has been pretty accurate for me. I had to make sure it was installed correctly on all of my pages. Now I can see where incoming traffic is coming from if they do not goto my main URL. This is very helpful as I try to span out my keywords for individual pages.

 

Yes. Its true. I agree his point. Even the Google analytics adobe tutorial shows that no tracking tools is 100% accurate
