A better request is to ask Google why impression data is wrong by more than 640% as opposed to raw logs….

I still don’t get why you wouldn’t just use GA or other analytics platforms for a traffic breakdown. Am I missing something here?

To me the benefit of GWT is being able to see impressions.
All the other info here can be seen via a SERP tracker with integrated traffic numbers.
Like others out there our criticone tool does this.
So I have to ask why you wouldn’t want to see impressions with traffic on the graph?
After all click through rates are a key metric.

Not exactly convenient but you can export chart data and make your own charts :-)

How about just using two scales on the chart instead of turning the series of data on/off?

Yeah it’s so hard to see trends in the clicks when the line remains flat!
