Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a client who pays to be listed in a industry directory. It is now time for renewal and the directory has come to my client with their statistics, which they claim has sent over 400 visits to my clients site. Having looked in to google analytics, over the same period of time, google analytics has registered 2 visits.

Could the directory's stats be true? Or is google analytics 100% correct?

Any help or advice in this area would be useful, as my client is concerned if they don't renew they will lose some traffic and leads.

Cheers.

Thanks Adam,

Great idea with replacing the link as well, if only I know what the missing page was about!

I ask, as I've just used opensite explorer to look at external links a competitor has, and I've found the high value ones at the top of the list go to a page that no longer exists on their site. Are these stiill of value in the SERP's, or have they messed up by not putting a 301 redirect on them?
