Question about statistics

Hi, When I look at my satistics in my config panel it says;

And when I check adsense on any particular day it says;

I don't get it! The number of adsense pagevies should be about the same as the amount of hits ór the amount of visitors.. why isn't this the case?

This is not a site review post

 

Hits are counted for every file sent to a browser. So for example a .jpg on a page will be counted as a hit when viewed by a user. Hits will depend on the number of files that make up a page.

Visits are counted when a user or a bot visits your site. It will consist of one or more page views/hits and one visitor may have many visits to your site.

Pageviews are counted each time a visitor views a webpage on your site irrespective of how many hits are generated.

So these three metrics are not directly related.

Hope that helps.

And it could be that adsense showed public-ads on your webpages. I believe they don't show up in your stats account from adsense.

 

I think you will find that PSAs are counted in the 'Page impressions' total but not the 'Clicks' total.
