Is Google Analytics Messing Up?

Alright so I know I'm not getting a whole lot of traffic on my site, with GA telling me about 10-15 uniques per day. Oddly enough, my Aweber account says that my fade-over opt-in (shown immediately upon site entry), has had enough unique displays since I put it up 2 weeks ago to average just over 25+ unique visitors per day.

What's even more strange, is that my site is a 3 page one, an intro, a "my story" type page and then a "find a solution" page that encourages readers to opt-in or hop to the merchant. ALL of my links on the web go to the main page (I know, I'll do internal linking!) and yet google analytics shows that that last more promotional page is accounting for ALL of my daily visits... I checked and the code IS installed on my main page so I'm failing to see how that page could be accounting for all my traffic... I want to clear this up so that I can more easily determine my clickthrough rate... If I'm really getting 15 visitors per day than having 6-10 click through to the merchant is great... However if I'm getting 25 or 30 per day it's not so impressive.

Anyways, if anyone's got any input, it's much appreciated!
