Google Analytics showing no traffic but I know I had a few visitors.
Every day I log into Google Analytics to see that I had no visitors to my 2 sites. In fact, each show no one in the last 10 days.
However, my affiliate link on one site showed 5 clicks on May 10 ...even with no visitors! I've started using Twitter and Google Plus but those should lead to my site, not to an affiliate link. I'm not sure what is happening but I'd like to look at my stats with something besides GA since their reporting seems to be off somehow.
Also, on my other site with no visitors in 10 days, the owner of a similar blog that I joined visited my site, liked it, and wants me to do a book review and guest blog on her site ( yay!) But again, GA shows no visitors!
Any ideas of what could be happening?
And is there another way to check my stats beside Google Analytics?
BTW, I set GA to weed out the spambots...I don't know if this has affected anything.

Well, I checked Google Search console and that tells me a different story!
One site has 350 or so impressions in the last 30 days and another 58.
I'm not sure what is going on...one site shows 14 days of no visitors and the other just 4 in the last 14 days..
I might get rid of Yoast like you guys are saying and see of that helps what GA is seeing and reporting.
Thanks all!
In one of the webinars from Jay in April, if I remember to correct the 1st one, he talks about why he choose all in one so prefer than YOAST.
I'm the same, my traffic has dropped off this past week ever since I registered with Google site maps..

I use the SkyStats plugin which is accessible from with the WP dashboard and I can view my Google Analytics, Twitter and Mailchimp stats. It also has other stats such as Facebook and Google Adwords (which I don't use).
