Google Analytics: The Darker Side

by Salman Ul Haq on August 26, 2008


ProgrammerFish has discovered some loopholes in Google Analytics and obviously its not the best one in the market. Our personal experience with it is quite terrible. We have been using several other stats for PF and all the rest like StatPress plugin, Wordpress’s own stat plugin, Aw Stats etc were all giving similar stats and Google Analytics kept on telling a different story; a story which we had difficulty to digest! And see, we have found other bloggers pointing their fingers on Google Analytics. Here goes the testimonial:

…trust me when I say that Google Analytics is a flawed program for your needs (Eric Lander)

Yes Google, you guys still annoy me (Isaac)

…Google Analytics is slow to report. Statcounter begins functioning immediately…

Google Anayltics must have so much useful data, it’s just a shame it’s so difficult to find it!

…During the last week, there was one unique visitor to NunnaYerBizness…

…It?s been 5 consecutive 12 hour periods since that message first appeared and I?ve yet to see a report. Thanks Google!…
