Remember that there is a true deficiency in Google Analytics. With extensions
like NoScript <

>, my visit to your site will not get counted. It is a gross case of XSS
(cross site scripting), which may be frowned upon by browsers. With raw
logs, on the other, delivery of file is logged at an entirely different
level. Make sure you make use of both 'worlds', not just GA.
Best wishes,
Roy
