Hi! I installed Google Analytics on my site last week, using a plugin for Wordpress and I just inserted my ID. I see very low traffic on my Analytics account although on other traffic tool like Awstats, Statpress plugin and Slimstat plugin for Wordpress I see much more visitors and pageviews... I simply don't know what to do now... Which is the right tool, who gives the real results?? I better drop Analytics or in fact this tool is the on that shows the real results?
Analytics count real visitors who actually stay on your site for some time. other tools are not accurate enough. awstats counts bots too while analytics not
If you think, traffic details is not correct, try to copy-paste the code directly in your footer.php page of the theme. Also you can use Wassup plugin - best real time stat plugin for WordPress. All the best.
All time favorite tool is Google Analytics, infact you can see the real time visitors too if you have any doubts....
