Share This Count Vs Google Analytics - Why the difference?

[Jeff_Lucas]

We use the Share This facebook & twitter widgets on blog posts. Share this auto tags it in Google Analytics so we can see share count with in the analytics interface.

Viewing the blog post I see the share counts as a lot higher than google analytics reports.

Does anyone know why the count would be different?

Hi Graeme,

I have had an issue in the last couple of weeks where a campaign that was tagged to display in Google Analytics wasn't showing anywhere near the amount of traffic I was recording at the other end. My problem was fixed by changing to the latest GA tracking code and placing it in the header as prescribed. I though I would just check to make sure you are using the latest code on your blog?
