I just compared my IE7 stats for analytics between my US based sites and IDNs, found a big contrast. I knew this was the case early this yaer, but after so long, IE7 stats is still virtually non-existent for my IDNs!?

Compare the following stats for last 2 months or so:

A few IDN sites:
1.
6.0
45,089 98.27%
2.
5.5
283 0.62%
3.
7.0
156 0.34%


A US site:

1.
6.0
25,832 60.01%
2.
7.0
17,027 39.55%
3.
5.5
72 0.17%

It's very simple, GA doesn't work properly.

I've thought of this, but isn't it strange that:

1. Even though a trickle, IE7 still shows up in GA for IDNs.
2. IE7 shows up perfectly on GA for my US sites.

Has anyone got ASCII stats for a non-english website? This will determine whether it is an IDN problem.

Its an IDN issue, GA doesn't detect hits properly. We had same issue with our thai traffic stats service, but they kindly fixed it for us, Google haven't been so forthcoming.

I've reported it as well as others directly to Google & even people who make the tech reports.
