How many pageviews?
May 11, 2012 7:26 AM Subscribe
I have a blogger/blogspot blog, and I get very different information about my stats from the "stats" page, Google Analytics, and statcounter.com. Who is right?
I know it can take a little while for the data to be updated, so here are the stats for May 8th:
Blogger's stats page: 512 pageviews
Google analytics: 187 visits, 292 pageviews
Statcounter: 264 unique visits, 375 pageviews
As you can see, this isn't an issue of being off by just a couple visits - 292 and 512 are pretty different!
I have my own visits blocked in Blogger and Statcounter, I don't see a way to block myself from Google Analytics (but it has the lowest numbers anyway).

Add ons like Ghostery are also becoming popular and that might create differences based on what AzraelBrown has already said.
Don't forget, Blogger's also got all those spam hit/urls coming from Ukraine and whatnot adding to the confusion.
