More visitors than visits

This started March 6. and it's the same today, one of my sites have more visitors than visits, and percent of new visits is over 100%.
I haven't found a thread about it here yet, so I'm wondering if other people are experiencing the same? It's gotta be a bug of some sort, there can be more visitors than there are visits after all. Yesterday was 4700 visits and 6400 visitors to one of my sites, 101% new visits.

 

I started seeing this yesterday, the same behaviour that you describe (more unique visitors than visits, and over 100% new visits) . I don't know if it's related, but this only seem to affect the site where I am tracking multiple subdomains.

e.g.:

pageTracker._setDomainName(".example.com");

Code (markup):

 

I'm seeing the same thing. I had 125% new visits today on one of my websites - not really sure how they calculated that little gem.

 

It seems to normalize after a couple of days. If I look at march 7th today, it looks correct.

 

This is for one of my sites without any sub domains. It does seem to fix itself with time though, the latest date keeps showing up with about 20% more visitors than visits though, while the prior dates are now back to normal.

 

good keep work hard and got good results

 

Huh? What does that have to do with this issue?

 

bots may be visitors, but not hit makers.

 

Weird, same happens to one of my high traffic sites since yesterday (March 17th) and it never happend before.
For yesterday it shows 135% new visits and 60% more unique visitors than visits!
No unusal data for any other segments, no unusal data in adsense stats and no unusal data in another tracking service.
?

 

It's keep staying like this for me in analytics, yesterdays stats stays like this until the next day when it changes back to normal, no idea why

 

Yes, my stats of march 17th are back to normal today. Data of 18th is even more bogus. Maybe some kind of data processing delay.

 

Thats odd. Have they been updating eventually or do those days stats stay like that?

 

Google Analytics has some problems recently...I have this too, and 2 days ago I had my language changed automatically from English to German.
Just uninstalled GA from my site and put clicky...so far is better

 

There has been few issues with GA in the last couple of weeks specially when it comes to visitors.

 

I'm getting mine in French now and have to change every single time, quite annoying.

 

This is possible if visits span from the previous day. In these cases, visits will not be reported for the current day but visitors will be.

 

I've just noticed the same thing, obviously there's something going on with Google Analytics. One of my high-traffic websites reportedly had 19'753 unique visitors yesterday, but only 17'075 visits. Weird stuff.

 

maybe Google Analytics is being uptaded and in the process some bugs appeared. Is everything normal now?

 

Cookies. They track this stuff with cookies, and if people don't accept persistent cookies or delete them often, it will inflate #s. Also, it uses 3rd party cookies to set an identifier, and some browsers don't accept them by default (Safari)

 

Anyone knows how could it be? Is that because of cookies?
