Clicklaw sends traffic directly to PDF files residing on a contributor’s website, which is reported in the above report. When a contributor’s website is using Google Analytics to track inbound traffic, this direct-to-PDF traffic does not get reported because of the way GA tracking works. Clicklaw’s report can then provide a piece of the missing picture and complement a contributor’s own GA report.
