For the last 2 days my page impressions are always higher than what my statcounter says. For example. On google it says i have 12,000 page impressions but on my statcounter i have only recieved 11,200 hits. What is going on? Has anyone else had this happen?
I get the opposite on my website. Statcounter shows a slightly higher count than I see on Google Analytics.
"Hits" is an amateur term that doesn't mean much in the real world. Hopefully your stats package isn't using that term. Perhaps you are refering to page views? Anyway, I would trust Google's count of your page views more than most stats programs.
the thing i was worried about is if someone else is using my adsense codes on a site that is not mine. maybe they would purposly violate adsense TOS to get me banned?
Everyone's worried about sabotage, but it's way too much trouble. You'd have to kick someone's cat, throw their grandma out a window, and then burn down their house before they would go to such lengths to get back at you. You haven't done any of those things, have you?
I get different numbers on the 3 different stats counters I use, as well different on adsense. Ach, what's a thousand here and there between friends?
well i have threw my grandma out a window. but thats a different story. thanks for the assurance. i can sleep now.
page impression of adsense is really different from your stats page impression. Your 3 ads on a page will already produce 3 impression in a click with 1 stats page impression.
