Google Analytics - async tracking with two accounts
- by MatW
I'm currently testing GAs new async code snippet using two different tracking codes on the same page;
_gaq.push(
['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1'],
['_trackPageview'],
['b._setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-2'],
['b._trackPageview']
);
Although both codes work, I've noticed that they present inconsistent results. Now, we aren't talking huge differences here, only 1 or 2 visits / day every now and then. However, this site is tiny and 1 or 2 visits equates to a 15% difference in figures. Now, the final site has much more traffic, but my concerns are;
will this inconsistancy scale with traffic?
assuming not, is a slight variation in recorded stats an accepted norm?
