i have google analytics set up, and every 24 hours i do see a change in page views, traffic, visitors, etc.. but im wondering if im doing this right... where do i go to view the total amount of page views, visitors, etc.. like from day one that i set up the analytics... i do see a increase every morning when i check the stats, but im not sure if it is the total # or what. it has todays date updates everyday and im thinking thats the total # of stats untill that date... but just wanted to make sure. thanks.
hey you can check,GRAPH by day ,month ,week etc....didn't you see that?...you can see total number of visitors as well as sorted per week or month
Once you inserted the codes correctly and the stats start to appear, you don't have to worry whether analytic might miss out. It will be there to capture whatever information needed.
Without Google Analytics I would have to rely on AWStats which I think is very inaccurate. I too found it a little different when I tried using it, but its easy to get used to.
