    I have extreme tracking, google analytic and stat counter. Which is more acurate. Last sunday extreme tracking showed 10000UV for one of my website but analytic and stat counter showed very low UV compare to extreme tracking.
    Why is that?

    I use sitestats.biz and it gives lots of information, and seems pretty accurate when I compare to other stats sites. It gives loads of options, some of the most useful being "keyword Analysis", "Came from" and "Viisitor Activity and Paths" which includes a pie chart showing visitor time spent on your site(split into "up to a minute", "up to 5 mins", 10, 20 and 20+), particularly useful if you use referral sites!

    Oh yes, it's free as well.

    I think Awstats with Cpanel is most accurate. It requires no code and does everythin on its own. So pretty much its most accurate.

    Sitecounter and Analytics. However, none can be perfectly accurate since they are scripts, and if the visitor doesn't stay on the page until the script loads, pushes the "stop loading page" button before the script loads, etc. that visitor will not be tracked.

    If your using the paid version of extremetracking.com and not the free one, then that inflates the stats.
