Has anyone noticed that Google Adwords "charges" for more clicks than what shows up on your website's analytics?

What are you using for analytics? Some are more accurate than others :-/

I use Google analytics alongside Adwords and I can't say I have that problem. Plus, take into account any lags in time... Adwords reporting isn't in real time.

I have been doing adwords and never sense any cheat from google. There could be an explanation for that. Just do what Stupid said.

They count different things. Analytics counts unique visitors, Adwords counts clicks on your ads. If someone clicks on your ads twice (not saying click fraud but one today, another tomorrow), Analytics will count this as one visitor. Same if they visited organically as well as by your ads at different times, counted as one.

  Hi abednego,
  
  What Lucid said! Plus Google analytics relies on javascript being enabled on the client browser, if Javascript is disabled, those visits may not be recorded.
  
  Thanks

I know what you are talking about. My tracking software, google adwords and analytics never line up stats wise.
