My google analytics and awstats shows diff. statistics for my site. I dont know why. My cpanel awstats shows more no. of UV than analytics. Any reason behind this?
so u mean any visitor who has his javascript disabled will not be counted as visitor by analytics. So only cpanel stats is accurate? any other service which gives perfect no.? which stats shall i believe for my sites advertising ?
The thing to keep in mind is that in web analytics having the exact numbers is not that important. It is much more important to always use the same analytic tool and get metric data that will give you the trend... In the end, maybe you want to know if you are doing better, analyze top landing pages vs bounce rates, conversions, define goals etc... and exact number are not helping there.
Every time when you check your analytics, there you can only get information about real users. Whether in Cpanel, traffic is the combination of actual traffic + Bots traffic and more than 50 % traffic is contributed by robots in your cpanel traffic stat....
Don't forget that awstats and google are not meant to be equal. aw stats should be used if you are looking at bots visiting your site while google is geared toward helping you understand your visitors. (visitor reports in awstats can fool you so be careful)
