Yesterday I noticed that Google Analytics has been underreporting traffic for all the sites I monitor. It’s showing 0-12 visitors for sites that usually receive hundreds or thousands of visitors per day. It’s also showing zeros all across the board for today.
Is Google Analytics down? It looks like it’s stopped tracking or is not reporting any traffic stats since yesterday.
Analytics is usually a few hours behind in reporting, but this is out of the norm. I hope Microsoft’s new analytics program (codenamed Gatineu) comes out soon. I’d love to be able to stop feeding Google all my data. If it offers real time tracking (vs. a few hours behind), I’ll probably make the switch.
Is anyone else seeing reporting problems with Google Analytics lately?
Update: Google Analytics Blog just confirmed the reporting delay saying it will be fixed shortly and that traffic data will not be lost.

I too noticed the same… very strange. No news on the analytics blog.
I dont know if im switching to Gatineu but at least this then we’ll have a backup.
Cheers.-
Yes, it’s down – I see it on a wide variety of sites and there are all sorts of people mentioning it. Hopefully they’re still collecting data.
noticed it too
Yes, there is a post on the official analytics blog just now explaining the issue.
Yes, on all my blogs and websites which I monitor with Google Analytics I can’t see any traffic.
I am glad you mentioned this Markus. I was wondering the same thing when I looked at analytics today. I thought for a quick second Google threw me back into the penalty box.
