Just curious if anyone else saw a disparity between the amount of traffic Reddit claimed you were getting from paid ads, and what your analytics showed?

My numbers were very different.



I didn't even mention that! Reddit reported 100% more traffic than I actually saw with any analytics service. Not only that, I saw a bunch of suspicious hits from reddit referrers that didn't load any CSS or javascript. Like someone was just running GET requests by hand.


Could this be partly caused by people running noscript and the like? Although I haven't heard of many people opting not to load CSS by default.


Could this be from bots scraping reddit links?
