This test is ongoing so I will post more results as tests are completed. My tests show about 15% loss in traffic but I know of people who commonly lose 30% or more. I'm thinking some sort of Java script interferes with GA. Anyone out here had any exp with this?
Hey Choker, one thing to realize too is that a lot more people are running blockers now. Even myself. Addons like No-Script tend to block google analytic's url unless the user specifically sets it to "allow". Peerblock even blocks it by default.

That's why these types of traffic analyzers will never be 100% accurate and people need to have their own statistics on each domain.
