Default Re: Google analytics

Okay, strange thing happed....

Several weeks ago I removed Google Analytics from one of my sites that I was advertising through Google Adwords. What prompted this change was the adwords clicks and analytics clicks were not matching or even close.

I switched over to GetClicky (my affiliate link btw) and my numbers almost matched exactly. So if in one day, I had 50 adwords clicks, I would have close to 50 hits on my site (via getclicky stats). Yes, I did have some bounces just like with analytics but still, How could Analytics not pickup on or report unique hits to my site?

Incidentally (or coincidentally) I started to receive more clicks through my adwords ads. The clicks seemed to have stabilized after a few days or so but after doing this a second time I had almost similar results.

Google - what are you doing to me!?!?!

Anyone else have similar experiences?
