Issue summary:
In the example for the linker parameter, it says the clientId will look similar 
to "182119591.1441315536" and then the linker parameter will look similar to
_ga=1.182119591.1441315536.1362115890410

This suggests that the timestamp will be appended as the last number, which is 
not the case, since it is actually inserted before the clientId. Therefore it 
would be better to write
_ga=1.1362115890410.182119591.1441315536
