    It works on Javascript ,So whenever you site loads in a browser ,a hit will be recorded in Google's analytics database

    Google's analytics is not exactly correct,it's more or less approximate...

    I've found that it's pretty close. What is really useful is being able to see what keywords and referring sites are bringing traffic to my site.

    I think google analytics gives quite accurate stats. I see the stats update after a hour or so.

    I've used other stat counters and I find google the best for this, although it isn't perfect it's pretty close. If anything I think it might underestimate visitor numbers

    It is very approximate... especially when it comes to bounce rate.

    These answers are all speculation. We are making assumptions here. Since Google hasn't told us how accurate it is or isn't we can only guess. My guess is that it is very accurate.

    Google Analytics is not as perfect. I compare my stats with cpanel log files, and it is pretty much near. No two analytics tool will show you same results anyways. but i like the interface and details that it provides.

    Just my 2 cents!
