Google Analytics Error or Broke on Thursday, May 6th, 2010
We have hundreds of sites being tracked with Google Analytics – every single one of them had 0 traffic (or visitors) on Thursday, May 6th, 2010.
Did analytics break or was there just an error?
It looks like there was a severe drop in internet activity (if you only look Analytics data).
But as business contingency would have it.. when we check the server statistics for visitors, it shows there were actually people on our sites clicking around!
With that data, we can be sure that it was a Google Analytics error or broken database connection.
If your GA traffic shows zero (0) on Thursday, May 6th, 2010, don’t sweat it.. there was traffic to your site – it’s just that GA wasn’t working.
Cheers!
Most newsletters suck...
So while we technically have to call this a daily newsletter so people know what it is, it's anything but.
You won't find any 'industry standards' or 'guru best practices' here - only the real stuff that actually moves the needle.
