Hi,
I was recently running some traffic analysis on one of my sites, using the stats script provided with the cPanel that every website of mine has.
The scripts that are implemented on that cP are awstats and webalizer. I've taken their stats of the last 3 months visits, and made an overall graphic. Here's what you get:

I was amazed by seeing that webalizer is reporting double the visits of awstats, on a constant basis. Both agree on the general increasing trend (visits go up in the same way), but they differ a lot in the visits number. Which one should I get as reliable, in your opinion? and what is the reason of the difference?
just wondering :) thank you!
