Well, if that is what they mean, it’d be nice if they’d make it clearer. Are you having the same problem?

The Google help site seems to claim “the account number and property index fields will be automatically populated once you link your accounts.” Does this mean entering the following in exactly as it appears below without replacing “accountnumber” and “propertyindex”?

window.google_analytics_uacct = “UA-accountnumber-propertyindex”;

Sometimes I have no idea what Google is thinking.

@ Lindsey:

I believe the problem you’re referring to is specific to AdWords, the problem I’ve been having is with AdSense. Analytics appears to be very buggy with both!

I had this problem as well…it may have something to do with your tags and urls. Try this, it worked for me…

ANALYTICS

If you navigate to the ‘clicks’ tab of your AdWords reports, you will see AdWords data is there. However, it seems ‘visits’ from AdWords are not being tracked. After investigating with our specialists it seems the gclid is being dropped due to the redirects on your site and/or the existence of additional tracking parameters to your URL. For example, one of your ‘golf’ destination URL’s is http://www.canongategolf.com/index.cfm?menu=2930. We recommend you either only use autotagging, or only use manually tagging.
Using a combination of the both can be problematic as you have experienced. The following resources explain more thoroughly what might be
occuring:
