google analytic VS Awstats i have note some different stats between alanlytic and awstats my awstats are higher than analytic ???????
Google analytics is good. I've also been toying with smarterstats but find it's filtering to be less then effective. The google data seems sound but I wish it had more flexibility.
I was always checking my stats with Awstats. However, I just installed G Analytics on my sites 2 days ago and I must say I like G Analytics much more. It shows from which US states your visitors come from (Awstats doesn't) and also if you run an Adwords campaign, it even shows the searched keyphrases and your ads position. You wouldn't find this in Awstats.
Awstats is better for sure Google Analytics may look pretty but is not as accurate because Awstats uses your sites log files.
for me analytics! in awstat admin can filter or control the traffics, in awstat all the figures are shown you just need to study it and another one is that there is a goal conversion in analytics.
