Why are there discrepancy between wordpress stat and google analytic? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Today wordpress stat is showing almost 100 visit from Facebook!!! This is really unusual, I have never seen this before. Usually I see 3-5 visits from Facebook.

So I went to check traffic source at Google Analytic and it doesn't show anything from Facebook. Does anyone know why traffic from Facebook doesn't show up on Google Analytic (GA from now)?

On the other hand, GA shows 26 visits going to my site from Google organic. Wordpress stat only showed 1 referal from google.com.

If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be helpful.

Thanks!

There is a bug with the facebook like button, if you're using that it's probably why.  I was having a similar issue where all of a sudden i was showing 1000+ visits a day from facebook in wordpress stats, but not in analytics.  The visits weren't real.  They were because of a like button bug. You'll probably want to fix it..

to fix it i basically had to put in the iframe version of the like button instead of the javascript version, and then do a bunch of stuff to fix my site's duplicate content that was created as part of this as well.. Here's a post talking about the problem and how to fix it.
