			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-303" title="Stats" src="http://thelongmile.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/1238739131_log.png" alt="Stats" width="128" height="128" />Well, after a few hours of digging, I have unfortunatley discovered that I&#8217;m getting some very strange results with my statistics.</p>
<p>This website uses two different stats plugins untill I work out which one is more accuratte. Statpress Reloaded, and WassUp. Right now, I&#8217;m not getting a result from anything. At least not one thats consistant.</p>
<p>Statpress is reporting 544 Pageviews, whilst Wassup is reporting 710 Pageviews. Google Analytics is reporting 50!</p>
<p>Now if we look at my own web hosts satistics for April, as the site went live on the morning of April second&#8230;</p>
<p>AwStats is reporting<strong> 2335</strong>!! page views<strong> </strong>whereas analog is reporting 166 page veiws&#8230;</p>
<p>Note that this isn&#8217;t the indication of the hits on the site&#8230; because then it gets even worse&#8230; Neither Wassup or Statpress Reloaded are capable of monitoring the actual hit count, so if we look at AwStats and Analog, their stats are also completley different.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-304" title="Piechart" src="http://thelongmile.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/1238739316_kchart.png" alt="Piechart" width="128" height="128" /></p>
<p>AwStats Reports 8782 hits, wheras analog is reporting 3390</p>
<p>Absolutely nothing is matching up right now. So I&#8217;m at a loss as to what to do. I&#8217;ve implemented google analytics again using a different plugin as the old one stopped working for absolutley no reason, hence the low pagecount value and luckily the anylitcs code is now appearing in all of the pages. But something is very much amiss. Untill this problem gets fixed I can&#8217;t make any changes to the site or upload the galleries. It&#8217;s not a limiting factor, but the stats help me track how popular a site is on any given day, where the links are coming from, deciding why people are visiting, as well as working out the sites worth and value for potential advertising and service selling. If these figures are innacuratte then I cant give that information correctly.</p>
<p>For now I&#8217;m going to trust in google anylitics, and hope that over the next 48 hours it returns a consistant result. If all the stat systems were within 50 points of each other, then it would be deemed accuratte enough, however this is a very strange issue&#8230; any suggestions? Please leave in the comments below.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
