Hi, We’re having an issue with the page view stats tracked through PPC Pro using Google Analytics.
I would expect the figures to be exactly the same, as the source of the data is the same, but in some cases they are up to 20% different for the month (with PPC Pro showing higher page views than Google). Can you explain exactly how PPC Pro gets the page view data from Google Analytics?
For example, for one post this month, PPC Pro is showing 289,479 visits, but in Google Analytics the same post is showing as having had 150,847 page views. Jetpack’s WordPress stats is showing as 148,747 – so clearly PPC Pro is out of sync here somehow?
I need to resolve this as the authors can see their own page views, but I manage payments from the Google Analytics report so discrepancies like this are an issue – thanks!
Hi Richard,
sorry for the delay, but I was on holiday.I would expect the figures to be exactly the same, as the source of the data is the same, but in some cases they are up to 20% different for the month (with PPC Pro showing higher page views than Google). Can you explain exactly how PPC Pro gets the page view data from Google Analytics?
Every day, the plugin reaches to Analytics and asks for all pages which have recorded visits in the previous day. This way, total figures for each post are built day by day. However, what is very important to understand (see this tutorial) is that the figures you see are always totals. Tweaking the time range in the stats page doesn’t alter the views numbers, it only affects what posts are displayed.
Does this help clarifying? 🙂
Have a nice day,
Stefano
