Is it possible that Google Analytics can have a bunch of bugs and that they cannot measure a site visitors correctly ? In one day, I had 50 visitors online to my blog AT THE SAME TIME, not in a day, they are counted by the wp-usersonline wordpress plugin. In that day google counted me only 20 unique visitors on my blog. The other thing is that my blog Alexa rank is: 397.000 Can someone give me any kind of reasonable explanation for this ? Thank you so much!
I've never noticed any problems like this before and I doubt analytics would have a bug specific to one user - but i could be wrong, perhaps you could post a screenshot?
I think it could be possible for GA to have bugs. I tend to track my site with 2 different tracking programs and they don't always match up.
But what about the Alexa rank? It shows 397.000 and at 20 - 30 visits per day the alexa should be 1.000.000 Or is this because most of the users of my site are using their toolbar ?
That could be the reason. Moreover, google analytics provide realistic figures when it comes to number of human visitors.
Ya! i have also notice some unexpected traffics results with my blog. One a particular day web analytic show me 9 visitors from Brazil but after three days it's become only 1 visitors from Brazil. So, anybody can tell me what is the reason behind it.
my analytics reported a 500% increase the other day all by direct traffic and all supposedly unique, i don't know what this was all about but my enquiries never shot up by 500% and now it's back to normall
I only take it as a rough estimate. I remember I was once on a hosting server that had live stats and it used to show that there were 100's of customers on my site. I did a little research and found that wasn’t really the case at all.
