My Adwords account shows that one of my campaigns had 3 conversions from Dec 3 to Dec 4 YET Analytics shows no conversions. What do you think the discrepancy is?

I have found Analytics to be unreliable.

Really? For us it seems that Adwords is inaccurate, not Analytics. But I think it has more to do with the set up and where the tracking codes are placed than the software being faulty.

I usually get varying results in respect to conversions. Sometimes, the Analytics tool doesn't capture conversions and sometomes it overinflates them, so I do believe it is the analytics component that is causing me trouble.

Additionally, my coding is uniform throughout. Do you use broadmatch or the content network? I have heard that it can skew the analytics, but have yet to figure out how.

I find that usually Analytics usually underestimates conversions for some reason.
