Huge Clicky vs Google Analytics Boucerate Discrepancy
At Clicky my bounce rate is 38%, and at Google Anlytics 70%.
How can this be? It's the exact same site and they are tracking at the same time.

Clicky and GA measure bounce rate differently.

Thanks GA stinks after using Clicky for a while. I just ditched them for now cause i don't want them to penelize me for their inacurally measured high bounce rate.

Google Analytics has nothing to do with the search department. They've said this many times...

- Well can you be sure about that, i have seen and experienced changes to SERPs and indexing with and without analytics and i can say for sure there is a relationship between them.

I agree, no matter what Google says, GA's data is a goldmine for a search engine and there's no way they wouldn't tie them together. It's definitely something they would deny though, because it would scare people off from GA. There's a reason GA is free... you're giving Google amazing insight into your web site.
