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?

Google Analytics Goal Funnel Visualization Issue
I've setup a goal funnel but am having an issue when I look at the funnel visualization. It doesn't appear to be recognizing the 1st step of the funnel that I've defined in the goal edit page. The "Property Listing page view" is located at /listings/xxx where xxx is the number of the property. Within the funnel, I've added /listings/*, but when I go to see the funnel visualization, I see 0 counts for this step (even though it clearly shows on the entrance page to the left "/listings/622, etc". I've attached a .pdf with a few images to help make this clearer. Any thoughts? CRD-Funnel.pdf
