Is analytics on every page? When did you check the stats? It sometimes takes 24 hours for analytics to properly show your reports.

I think you might made any small mistake in putting tracking code. As that was happened to me as well some pages of my site were not tracking correctly so just check the code on your site.

i would trust analytics over amazon. amazon maybe counting robots whereas analytics will not

I have read it is with in 5% of accuracy. I would give it time and make sure your code is on every single page, in the header.

I'm going to throw a counter arguament in here as I have always used google analytics. I have a site that has daily uniques of 250 page views on average, I changed something about 3 weeks ago on the site (the theme on a wp site) and the traffic according to analytics dived. I have just logged into my adsense account to have a look and it is saying that the traffic didn't dive. Both google products yet both telling me different results. I have checked my AW stats and it is very similar to adsense. Very strange. If someone can come up with an explanation would love to hear it.

Thanks
