I consider myself pretty advanced with Google Analytics, however I've recently seen something with a new website I'm tracking that just isn't adding up correctly. I have 3 profiles set up for the same site because we have more than 4 goals we need to track. So there is a one profile for goals 1-4, another for goals 5-6, and another just plain overall tracking profile w/o goals. NOW, the issue seems to be that when I look at the stats for 'visits' they don't all match each other. As in, the total visits for profile 1 doesn't match profile 2... and the same goes for profile 3. This doesn't make the least bit of sense to me. Has someone seen this before and have an explanation?
I can't say that I have experienced your issue, but I linked up my adsense account with analytics last week, and nothing is adding up correctly with my adsense stats in analytics. I know it is new and I think still in beta so maybe that's the issue, but maybe there are bigger issues with analytics? Are they substantially different, or just off by a few visitors, goals, etc?
Never faced such an issue, however it's always 24 hours behind... IMO, I think it's not yet updated with the same numbers. you can simply check older reports dude
