Clicks Show in AdWord but Not in Analytics

My AdWords info shows clicks on site-targeted ads but when I look at the Campaign ROI in Google Analytics I'm seeing zero visits (though the cost does show). Am I failing to do something when I set up the AdWords campaign or the Analytics settings?

Google Analytics data is usually delayed more than thier Adwords data. Try checking back in several hours.

No delay - checked for all of March and nothing shows.

Hi,

Several possible reasons, for example the JS for Analytics may not run on every hit, eg because some users cancel the page view before it completes...

What's the chance of this for over 100 clicks on the AdWords side of the metrics? Again, AdWords is saying that clicks (over 100 for a single ad in March) are occuring but these do not show on the Analytics Campaign ROI. I should note that other non site-targeted ads ARE showing on Campaign ROI. All landing pages have Analytics code installed.

Hi,

A bug in the implemenation of your Analytics code on some pages, of G's code re that specific type of referral (they have been known to selectively mangle some referral URLs, including reversing bits of them!), a set of users with broken browsers frequenting the site in question, one moron with a broken browser following the link in question, a broken robot following the link in question...

IE, without a bit more detail I can see various irritating but benign reasons that this may be happening, only some of them to do with G.
