30% increase in visits
No increase in visitors
Huge drop in pageviews and time site
Higher bounce rate
More return users

You might check out this other Q&A thread, as there have been recent changes to GA. http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-else-noticed-a-jump-in-google-analytics-traffic-since-session-parameters-were-changed

Ha, true enough! My dyslexia got the better of my math again!

More return users would account for the increase in visits w/o the increase in visitors.
And a high bounce rate would correlate with a drop in page views and time-on-site.
Assuming GA is acting normal, you have people finding your site repeatedly and leaving immediately when they do.
Which is odd.
Do you have a high level of traffic?

Track PDF's in Google Analytics
Hi Mozzers, Is it possible to track PDF's via Google Analytics/Google tag manager? I'm not only looking for PDF downloads but for the actual activity when someone opens an interactive PDF document. So would it be possible to have onclick events on buttons in the PDF etc... Many thanks!

Google Analytics internal Site Search - Destination pages dispaly Search results
Hi, Im having a bit of an issue with Google Analytics internal site search, I am able to currently track the search terms through my website internal search but when I click onto destination pages I just get the search result page. When clicking destination pages I would expect to get the pages on which the user ended up after the results page, instead I just get the results page which is pretty much useless ?submitsearchXXXXXX hope you can help, look forward to your response. Thanks,

Why is Webmaster Tools not Linking Correctly Google Analytics?
I have a global site with .com as the US site and then /country for all other markets i.e. .com/uk .com/de etc. Each site has it's own WMT profile. Each site has it's own GA profile. Since Google added Search Engine Optimization to the GA interface, I can't track these sites separately under this new feature. It seems to me that it can only be associated with a single WMT profile at a time or rather that WMT can only be associated with a single GA profile at a time. The numbers for the UK and US site are identical, but when I try and link the UK WMT account with GA it removes it from the US profile and vice versa.
