OK, I need some expert opinion. I have a web site that had the following visits yesterday: Unique visits: 3505 Pageviews: 32111 Hits: 142487 Bandwidth: 1.62 GB Yet the Google page impressions were just 4,800. I have two questions: 1. Shouldn't the Google page impressions=Pageviews? 2. I find it a bit strange that the site generates 10 pageviews per unique visit, and has almost 2 GB bandwidth in one day. Isn't that a bit much? The site has a lot of images, but I have them .htaccess protected, so I am pretty sure no one is stealing bandwidth...Still it looks a bit much...Any ideas?
I assume the stats you gave were from some sort of logfile analysis program? Google only shows pageviews when the ads get loaded so if you get a lot of visits from bots that don't use javascript, or a high percentage of your users either have javascript turned off or are using adsense blockers that could account for some of the difference. That is quite a big difference though. -Erik
