Why is Budurl traffic not showing in my Google Analytics?

So I'm noticing some huge inconsistencies between the traffic budurl.com says its referred and the amount that shows in my google analytics. For example I use budurl largely to shorten links that I promote in Twitter. In one month my google analytics may list twitter as having been a referrer for 100 clicks, but Budurl will say that I had 300 clicks on the link in the same time period, mind you I only place this link on twitter.

I have bot/webcrawler stats turned off, am I missing something here. Is there no uniform place to find budurl traffic in analytics because of this 307 redirect?

I'm not sure i understand. If u use Budurl.com to shorten the link www.site.com it directs to "www.site.com" the analytics should say that budurl.com was the referrer to my site....or are you saying that it will just come in as direct traffic?

wait does that mean that i can't distinguish budurl traffic from regular traffic on my analytics? how do i verify that budurl views are real views then?

its having the same problem. theres not many other ways dapper will produce the rss so I can't do much to change it. It works fine in all feedreaders, but yes it doesn't seem to validate. Would love to see if you have any other ideas

yes thats the link http://ow.ly/1vtM just that one. also I stopped using ow.ly because its been doing a wierd redirect thing. It loads the page i selected then 5 seconds later redirects to the main domain. Budurl isn' t doing that.

I dont need to login to Twitter API!!

When i click on replies on twitter it triggers this notification asking me to login to the Twitter API. Then when I click cancel/ok on it the login just keeps coming about 50 times before it stops. Not sure what the issue is
