I know this is coming a bit late, but I was doing some analytics and realized that Adwords seems to have a kink in it. There was a strectch of 5-6 weeks where the total traffic for my site was listed as low as 11% for search engines (45% referrals, 43% direct) all of a sudden it switched up on me and showed 41% search engines (35% referrals, 24% direct).

There was no apparent reason, I didn't change anything on the site or my settings.

(I don't think it is necessary, but here is my website in case: http://www.golittleguy.com/cms)

In addition, I have seen overall traffic drop by nearly 50% in the last 10 weeks. I just don't get it. Has anyone else seen anything similar? I don't know if settings on my end are jacked up or what, but something is amiss...

any advice is helpful...

Thanks.

I Googled camper trailer and did not see your ad anywhere. On which keywords have you seen the "50% traffic drop".

It looks like there is a 301 redirect for the www as well as the non-www version of your domain name (golittleguy dot com). As a result you may not be seeing referrer data in analytics via those URLS. Chances are data is not passed because there is no "real" page but rather a redirect containing no analytics code.
