Google Analytics shows real time visitors but reflects 0 visitors historically

Question

In my Google Analytics account, I can see data (like pageviews, visitors) in my real time stream, but all of the non-real time data (Standard Reporting) shows 0 pageviews, 0 vis

Answer 1

There can be a number of reasons for this.

I'm actually investigating a case right now, probably down to the use of GA for analysing application usage. I am seeing real time traffic, but a much reduced traffic set is stored historically.

So far I have:

• Changed User-Agent to something custom
• Removed the domain from the referral exclusion list
• Changed all requests to plain Page Views without customisation of (e.g.) source, medium and the like

Not worked it out yet, will update this when I do!
