I think there is something wrong with google analytics. I think it is showing the wrong data. Sometime back when i checked my site's visitors, it showed some figure which did not increase in next 3 hours. But I could see visitors on my site. Now from past few days it is showing very less visitors when I can see more on my site. For example, I could see 29 FB likes on an article, which means 29 visitors visited that page. But analytic showed only 21 visitors from FB. Is anyone facing the same problem? Is there any other web analytics tool that I can use? Yahoo is a bit complicated.
Google Analytics is not 100% accurate and no other stat providing tools are. But I find google analytics way better than any other tools out there.
Yes, sometames I also notice similar problems. Very often Google Analytics statistics differs from the statistics of other systems. But anyway you will not find a stat that will be 100% accurate and I prefer easy to use and not complicated system.
I also have same confusion , because htere is a big difference in data by gogle analytics and states of my google blog
Although sometimes Google Analytics doesn't show 100% accurate results there is still the chance of it being much better than the other tools that are out there. That is why I still listen to it.
Yes sometimes Google analytics statistics are not 100% accurate. As it is based on pure algorithm so sometimes problem will arise when things happen beyond its scope. I think this is the main thing why GA is not be able to showing you the 100% results all time.
Yes you are right but it is sometime but when you are in this problem you can use google webmaster tool.
Google updates throughout the day but there is a lag between the traffic hit and it being updated. I've also noticed some cacheing on my side - ie, if you login to a different computer half an hour after checking stats you will see updated numbers even though a refresh on the original screen (even hard refresh) makes it seem like nothing has changed. They also do this with adsense.
