We have had a discrepancy on our Adwords, where Adwords was stating we had nearly double the click through that Analytics was showing.
We posted a query to Adwords support and got the answer below. My question is if I remove the reference to acatalog, is the coding still going to work?
Thank you for your email. I understand you have found there is a discrepancy between what you are paying in clicks and the details shown in your analytics.
I understand you have read all of the common reasons why AdWords and Analytics may report different numbers in terms of clicks and referrals which can be found at the following link:

I have reviewed your account and found on the source code for your site www.pinkequine.com it is effecting the reports.
The line of code: document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "acatalog/google-analytics.com/ga.js'
type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); has the word "acatalog/" which is affecting this.
Please remove this to resolve the issue so it should read:
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
If you continue to have issues please reply to this email and we will investigate the issue further.
