Thanks all for sharing those tracking scripts for G.A.S.
After smoothly 3 or 4 days run, I found one day about ONLY 30% clicks recorded by the tracking scripts(javascript + server-side pages + database).<add>comparing with the GAS's official report one day later. (to ensure no Time LAG:LOL)</add>

I peek the iframe's source, (right-click the "iframe" area, hold, don't touch any links, then choose "view source", IE-PC)then found some GAS-links have different host names other than "

googlesyndicationDOTcom
", ie"googleadservicesDOTcom", though all followed with "/pagead/adclick?adurl=blahblahblah".

Do you guys think "syndication" could be tracked by those javascripts but NOT "adservices"? Or, even one can leads more EPC while another not?

I think this is because of NON IE users clicking on your ads!

The script will "only" work with IE based browser.

First comparing my website's log, 1 year average, 98%+ visitors are IE-users. Then comparing the other day's tracked information with GAS's, only below 2% likelihood from non-IE users.

Weird? Or just GAS changed some codes in it?
