Like for instance, it doesn't handle ajax all that well (even with those on event thingies). Ajax calls, if not handled really carefully can screw with your bounce rate. Then there's script blockers that stop the GA code from loading. And then my biggest worry (although haven't confirmed it, perhaps you can?) is how bad the unique user/visit accuracy is. So... one family behind one IP address = 1 unique multiple visits. 5 staff members on 1 small business adsl = 1 unique, multiple visits. 1 person who access same site from work and home = 2 uniques... I reckon GA is almost a guideline/indication now than a science? I’ve been getting more and more worried recently about the accuracy of analytics.
