Email Performance link report shows strange data

[Vlada_Prasolova]

We are sending comuunity newsletter once in a month and in 2 months in a row email link performance shows really strange data

while google-analytics shows only 715 pageviews of the same story

and the same thing happen in the July issue:

and again, GA says, only 5995 page views

moreover, our top-stories has never ever received that many clicks neither before, nor after that
i feel there is some kind of mistake, but i don't know how it can be explained

That is a pretty wide difference. A couple of thoughts I've seen elsewhere:

• email spam programs have been clicking on every link to test for malware
• people do tend to click multiple times
• check with Support if there is an error on your instance or with the coding.
