What's broken, google analytics (realtime), or twitter analytics (realtime)?
 

Hey everyone,

I've noticed something recently and wonder if anyone else knows anything about this. On twitter I am watching the analytics on certain posts in real time to see the link clicks. I see them increasing in real time..

Then, I check my google analytics realtime which is on my left monitor and it doesn't match up.

I got maybe 1 user showing up through google analytics with 22 link clicks showing over on twitter.

One of these is definitely not showing an accurate count but I am unsure which it is. With all the recent privacy policy bullshit going on I'm wondering if it's maybe just not showing correctly, anyone have any ideas?

Are you able to use a 3rd tracker, as a sort of control?

That's a brilliant idea, I should try that. I'll repost the findings when I get some time to test this out later today. Thanks!

Are your links on Twitter using a Google analytic link like:


You can pass that link through a link shorter. Not sure it will help if it's your Google tag is what's not firing.

Have these been accurate in the past? Or have you not looked before?

Opps, link got messed up, sorry
