One more point to add here:
If you are looking at "Total Conversion Value" instead of specifically "Transaction Value", you could have other goals set up with some value tied to them.
For instance, you could have a lead page goal setup with a value of 1. Whenever an AdWords users hits that lead page, the Total Conversion Value is going to go up by 1. '
You can review all your conversions you are tracking in your account in the Tools tab under Conversions.

Alick has some good points, but I would also point out that depending on where you are accessing data in Analytics you might be picking up information for your Bing PPC account as well, assuming you have a Bing PPC account.
Do you have conversion tracking set up in AdWords? Are you tracking calls and clicks as conversions or are you only tracking revenue?

Hi Dev,
You are not going wrong any where. AdWords & analytics track data differently .Please read below two points your doubt will clear. I hope it helps you.
- Different attribution models: AdWords will give attribution to AdWords click during the set conversion window irrespective of other sources which may be involved during conversion. Analytics by default will attribute goal completion to last non direct source. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will attribute conversion to AdWords click and Analytics will attribute goal completion to referral.
- Different Attribution for conversion date: AdWords attributes the conversion to click date while Analytics attributes goal completion to actual conversion date. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will show conversion for 1<sup>st</sup> January and Analytics will show Conversion for 5<sup>th</sup> January

Conflicting data in Google Analytics
Hi Guys I've been looking at the data for a client in Google analytics and I was wondering if anyone knows why some of the data doesn't tally up. In my case its the following: Under Aquisition

No of Sessions for a Keyword shown in Organic Search tab (compared to)
No of Clicks for a Query in the Search Engine Optimisation tab For example, for a brand term, Google are showing 17 Sessions in Organic Search.
For the same term Google are showing 90 Clicks in the Queries section of Search Engine Optimisation OK, we know that Google are a little cloak and dagger regarding keyword data but surely Sessions and Clicks for the same keyword should be identical unless I'm missing something.0 -

Will 301 redirects (Same Domain) show as referral traffic in Analytics?
For an eCommerce site we have 301'd legacy product pages to new product pages. Is all that traffic going to show up as referral traffic from our own domain in Google Analytics? If so, is there any way to preserve original source/medium info or will all the source/medium info be our own domain since there is a 301 redirect?

Analytics Showed Steady Growth Until Now?
Last 10 weeks have seen steady growth in visitors and pages viewed, yet this week it has dropped a bit from last week (virtually stagnant). Is our user base simply hitting a plateau, or is there another reason?
