Who is telling the truth?

    Feedjit.com & Adstat or Google analytic?

    yesterday, I got 6 visitors from Portugal, 11 from Mexico, and 3 from Tokyo. I found this while I reviewing my site's visitors in Adstat. Feedjit.com tell me the same stat...

    I logged in to my Google analytic but these are not shown... It's already around 36 hours and I don't believe its an update problem...

    Seems analytic is not accurate?

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    None of the analytics sites are 100% accurate. There are a thousand reasons for this, but the simplest is that, in order to work, they rely on their embedded scripts being loaded with each request. This can fail to happen for any number of reasons, from a slow internet connection to browser caching settings to a person having javascript turned off to a person simply clicking the stop button before a page finishes loading.

    If you're dealing with low volume (and by low, I mean fewer than several thousand hits a day), then individual results will have very large statistical variances. So don't get too worked up over a single day's results. Look at the trend over time and a more accurate picture will emerge.

    None of the above said will give you 100% accurate results

    Basically anything except log files and log file readers may not be accurate.

    I understand that nothing is accurate but GA's result is too far different...
