Do You Think Google Analytics Give Accurate Results?

I dont think Google Analytics gives accurate reports. Sometimes it misses out conversions as well.

 

Google also misses out on loads of bit.ly links aswell lol

 

seems as accurate as anything else out there

 

Thanks guys

 

It is not giving the right data.. I have created the GA account in 2007 and when i check with the GA report now a days, it is showing the URL's which are not located on my server (website) like "www.mysite.com/homepage/xxxxxx.htm", but the files are not available on my site at all. In GA report it is showing that about 27% of the site traffic is form this pages. and people are staying about 2 minutes on this pages. when i try to open this page by the url in the GA report it is landing on to 404 page. how can people stay on 404 page for 2 minutes..? and almost all i have about 29 such pages in my GA report. so i cam strongly say that Google Analytic's is not providing accurate data.....

please give me your advices on how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance

i don't know that is why i need an access to statcounter.com try it and compare

 

I've found conversions missing, not sure if its the way I've set things up. Google Analytics often gives me all other information about a customer from source to content views but fails to identify the goal conversion that I can clearly see from my orders has happened.

 

i never used Google Analytics - very bad programm
