When I check Google analytics I recieve a certain amount of traffic, but when I check my hosting account with hostgator it says I recieve far more. I was wondering if I posted the code for analytics and possibly adsense incorrectly. Could someone help me with this matter, thank you. www.thebeardersdaily.com
Maybe you're looking at apples and oranges.. Are you sure you're not looking at hits (any image on your page, external css or javascript script, one page, etc) instead of visits when looking at your stats in your webhost? Anyway, like at the gas station, what counts is the number written on your adsense page views report.. That's what is taken into account for the money. Otherwise analytics is pretty accurate for visits, but it doesn't matter if your end result is the money via adsense..
I would be more than happy to do better ad placement, please help me out by telling me how I can improve my ad placement. Thanks for the help everyone, YEA I meant earnings.
Ok. google analytics uses first-party cookie to track the traffic of your website. Eg. So if someone enters your website, he get a cookies in his computer stored by GATC. If he deletes or block that tracking cookies from his computer and re-enter your website, he will be identified as a new visitor, hence google analytics tracking is not 100% accurate. If he block javascript (GATC code) visitor cannot be tracked.
