They are both real. The numbers should be close to each other. I would trust analytics to be more accurate though.
the problem the different is very a lot between them on awstats it show 50% or 100% more than analystic
Google analytics is much better then any one else. See both have there own way to track the visiters.. Both have there own statics to define or just say count one visit. These things varry.. so no one is wrong on there own perception or tracking method. But i suppose Gogle analytics is more near then accuracy rather then any thing else. Coz it covers more conditions compaired to any other. So Google analytics is the best way... Thanks Naveen
I noticed this a while back also, but in my case stats were closer than the gap you describe (around 10% different). The differences could be the definition based (what is a unique?), awstats counting bots, people blocking scripts in their browser? Anything really. In the end I installed the extreme tracking code, and it lined up almost exactly with Google Analytics. So I wrote off awstats as inaccurate. Google Analytics reporting, in the right hands, tells you 100x more about your visitors than awstats. Cheers, kma
