AW Stats Lose Their Mind on Saturdays

    Yes, it's true that Saturdays provide the lowest traffic of the week for me.
    Even as much as 20% less than other days.

    BUT, AW Stats ALWAYS reports traffic that is 1/5 to 1/10 of actual, on Saturdays. By "actual", I mean what Google AdSense measures.

    So what is going on?
    Why does AW Stats report miserably inaccurate stats on Saturdays for me?

    Any ideas? I've been watching this for many months.
    Thank you.

    Actually, my stats on Saturdays are more than twice that of my second highest day, Tuesday. Then again, I get more time to work on my site on Saturdays, and I'm usually online more then too.

    AdSense is reporting on page impressions. I'm not sure you are comparing apples with apples.

    My Saturday traffic is 1/10 of other days, according to "page views" using AW.
    My Saturday traffic is 10% less than other days, according to AdSense impressions.

    There is a huge difference between 200 "page views", and 2000 impressions.
    These numbers should be very close, JUST LIKE THEY ARE on Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Friday. It is truly a "Saturday" thing.

    I think I need to find an AW stats guru - something is very weird here.

    AwStats and AdSense are usually in sync for me everyday. Maybe it's just your server.
