    I have a big differences between Google Analytics & server statistics !!!
    My Google A = 404303 visits
    Server Stats = 556394 visits
    I didn't make any traffic boosting & didn't bought any visits or Ads.

    What's wrong & where's my real visits stats ?!

    Your server statistics are probably more accurate, given that people block GA nowadays, as well as lots of other ad or analytics tracking systems.

    Hi Mahmoud,

    Zach is absolutely correct. More and more people disable any form of tracking everyday. However, when you have this large of a discrepancy of data between GA and your server logs, there's a good chance you've missed something with your tracking code. Did you place the code yourself or do you have someone else on your team that manages that? You can check Google's Tag Manager browser tool for some added insights into that.
