Page Impressions Conflict with Google Analytics

    I'm new to Adsense and I've recently set-up a website for a documentary that is coming out in Canada. The URL is http://eddiesdocumentary.com.

    We have three ads per page, and are currently receiving very low traffic as it is a new website and there is not much publicity over the film.

    The problem is that Google analytics says I am receiving about 100 page views a day. Yet in my Adwords account I am only getting 1-5 impression a day?!?!

    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

    Google Analytics shows number of times your page visited.
    Adwords stats show how many times your ad appeared as google sponsored links (the higher budget and bid you put, the more times your ad will appear - impressions).
    You can see in Analytics the source of your visitors, are they come from search engines or referred by other websites or visited directly.
    I'm sure you are visiting your website yourself and this will be counted as page view in Analytics. You can setup filter in Google Analytics to filter out your own visits/clicks (if you have static IP).
