Anyone can explain me, why the report of my website visitor really different if i compare from awstat (cpanel) with Google analityc ? for example : from AWstat my website visitor : 350, but from google analityc : 60. So different.
Site monitoring tools has different ways of tracking a website activities. That's why Awstats and Google Analytics come up with different results
AWstats shows reports as per server log and GAnalytics shows report as per script is loaded each time. AWstats reports counts image load too as 1 visit, so no of elements on your page will counted as one visit, while GAnalytics will not count that. So always AWStats report will show more visitors than GAnalytics. Another thing is GAnalytics is give you decision power and analytics. While AWStats give you exact information.
cPanel Hangups You seem to know what's up. If you could, expand on a few things. I know where this guy is coming from. With cPanel I've learned that our stats are inflated. If you're working off a residential internet server you have what's called a dynamic IP address "group" (At least that's what Host Gator and Comcast told me). Anyways, with a dynamic IP you have multiple IP addresses and they interfere with your stats. What I mean by this is- cPanel counts each revolving IP address as a visit although you are working from the same PC. For example, if Comcast logs you on with 10 different IP addresses cPanel counts 10 different visitors (from what I gather). In addition, each time you log into your site for administration purposes cPanel counts that as a visit. The hang up is trying to void your IP addresses through your AWstat file manager. Since you do not have control over your residential service IP addresses it's almost impossible to Skip Host all of your 'grouped' IP addresses. So in summary, a static IP address is what we want...so we can block that single static IP address versus multiple IP addresses. From what I'm learning this will prevent cPanel from double counting our personal visitor/ visits. Please feel free to correct anything I may have said that wasn't on point. I'd like to know more how to get accurate stats.
The main differences between AWstats log file analysis and Google Analytics - The data is inevitably different, caused by the different tracking methods used. Because AWstats tracks website stats from the web server, it picks up server calls from search engine crawlers and that in itself makes a huge difference in your stats (depending on the size and popularity of your site). In this day and age, crawl statistics are of very limited value – this should not be a reason not to go for Google Analytics as to most, 9/10 times this info is insignificant - AWstats is meant for network administrators and engineers, whilst Google Analytics is made for business owners, marketers and analysts – business focused. A lot of the stats that AWstats provides are purely meant to inform about website functionality and finding out more about the technologies used by the site’s visitors. Google Analytics is a platform that allows you to discover the why’s (or usually why not’s) and how’s of the interaction of website visitors with your site. Source : googlelytics(dot)net
