Analytics Vs. Blogspot stats - which should I trust more?

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by Nefertiti, Jan 12, 2011.

    I have seen from Google Analytics stats that in a certain month the number of pageviews in one of my blogs were slightly over 8000, but for that same month, Google Blogspot stats showed me over 30,000 pageviews.

    I am not much experience about all this, so I ran into a confusion as to which stats I should believe to be true. There's a huge difference between 8000 and 30000 isn't it?

    What could be the reason for such a huge difference?

    I would trust Google Analytics if you want to count real (external) traffic. I think the rest are internal pages (the page that accessed page calls during displaying in browser)

    Google Analytics uses JavaScript all clicks without will not be displayed in GA stats. Normally 95-98% users has enabled JavaScript in web browser. Google Blogspot stats calculate all request to your server including bots.
    Google Analytics calculate only human visitors.

    Google Analytics is the only way to go, not 100% perfect but close!

    In short Google analytics is the best source that is more trustworthy in my opinion and there may be a little problem in the way you checked that pages.

    It is actually best to use more than one webstat program, and they will all show different amounts of traffic. Seems like google analytics filters out bot traffic, but it relies on java script. So, if a visitor has disabled java, analytics won't see it. Neither program you use is 100% accurate. That is the most important thing to keep in mind.

    Google Analytics not return 100% results. You may see strange and different results.

    lol, this is true, because bot visits is not counted in analytics

    no, the visits from blogspot stats could be from googlebot, yahoobot, msnbot or maybe you didn't set the analytic correctly

    If Google Analytic does not count the bots, how come there are visits staying on the site for 0 seconds ?? I thought it was the bots. If not, what are those visits ?

    Google Analytics code is in javascript. So if someone visits your page from a javascript disabled browser, analytics will not count the visit, But in Blogger stats if counts this too. And also Analytics counts only one visit per day from one IP. But Blogger will count multiple visits from the same IP. I think this could be the reason.
