New v Returning in Google Analytics with Adwords
-
I am trying to figure out an issue with Google Analytics. What i am stumped on is I see traffic from AdWords coming in (accounts linked) and I see new v returning user.
Does the return visit still show even if a user came back in via direct or organic?
Or is it that these return visits are clicking on the ad again to come back as visits and clicks match in the reports?
-
Thank you Bevelwise that makes sense.

These returning visitors are not necessarily coming from the same source. These users may have come through organic, direct or referral sources. Then on their 2nd+ visit they went through an Adwords Ad. The same user may have also clicked on multiple Adwords Ads as long as they do it naturally and the click doesn't get filtered by Google's click fraud algo.

Adwords Ad disapproved - Banned product on Site (glutamine)?
We are starting to get ads disapproved. One yesterday, one today. The reason - banned supplement 'glutamine'. Neither of these ads were for glutamine so I assume it's because l-glutamine is sold on the site. The actual ad for l-glutamine landing on the l-glutamine page has not been disapproved? In 2012 Google informed us the glutamine was no longer on the banned list so I'm not sure what's going on here? Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there a solution apart from removing the product entirely?

Discrepancy between google analytics referrals and 3rd party stats
I have a client who pays to be listed in a industry directory. It is now time for renewal and the directory has come to my client with their statistics, which they claim has sent over 400 visits to my clients site. Having looked in to google analytics, over the same period of time, google analytics has registered 2 visits. Could the directory's stats be true? Or is google analytics 100% correct? Any help or advice in this area would be useful, as my client is concerned if they don't renew they will lose some traffic and leads. Cheers.
