    I have Analytics on both Google and my webhost for my website and checking the daily visits from Woopra and comparing the 2 against Woopra Stats for April 30th. Woopra is reporting 216 visits and 656 pageviews my host is reporting 203 visits with 602 pageviews and Google Analytics has 179 visits with 550 pageviews. I just thought this would be good information for the Developers. Let me know why there is such a differents if you do not mind.

    Woopra: 216 visits and 656 pageviews
    Web Site host: 203 visits and 602 pageviews
    Google Analytics 179 visits and 550 pageviews

    Robert,

    I've noticed the exact same thing.

    For some unexplained reason, Google's statistics routinely failed to record an average 13% of visitors to One Man's Blog during a 5 day period between April 15 - 19, 2008. There is simply no logical explanation since every single visitor can been seen and accounted for in Woopra. Where are the missing visits in Google?

    Visits reported on OneMansBlog.com for the following days:

    ----------------Google----------Woopra
    April 15--------12,775----------14,596
    April 16--------10,836----------12,592
    April 17--------10,979----------12,349
    April 18--------10,751----------12,168
    April 19--------5,155-----------6,172
    Total-----------50,496----------57,887

    All that I can figure is that Woopra's infrastructure is better. We have a very distributed system of servers that work together to gather the stats and all I can figure is that our architecture is simply superior.

    I believe Google is way under-reporting everyone's stats and I'd really like to hear from more people who are using both.

    John,

    Here are my data from GA and Woopra for May 5th. Seems like a big discrepancy between services, but what about Avg. time on a page / site problem?

    GA

    2,275 Visits
    13,071 Pageviews
    28.40% % New Visits
    00:13:12 Avg. Time on Site

    Woopra

    4,907 Visits
    15,923 Pageviews
    18.38% New visitors
    01:26 time on a Page

    Best,

    I also have similar results. My visitor activity is way ahead comparing to Analytics. I wonder if Woopra can succesfully track down bot activity or count Bots as guests also.

    Woopra for the last week is reporting 824 uv’s and Google Analytics 379.. A major difference their. I am inclined to agree with woopras stats at this point though.

    1571 page views according to woopra, and 725 according to Google Analytics.

    I have had both running since I was activated for beta, and the stats are skewed like this all the way across the board. Comparing to my server stats, it appears for some reason google analytics is not reporting correctly.

    Hope that helps

    I think possibly it is this layered tech that allows for such a complete representation. Google just looses the data.

    I was the same as you guys up to the middle of last week. I've kept an eye on Google, Woopra and Statcounter. Statcounter always used to show more than Google (and still does) but Woopra was giving the highest readings.

    Last Thursday this changed big time. Now Woopra is showing the lowest numbers and has since then.

    This is all a bit strange. I'm tending to go for an average of the three at the moment. Funny thing is, that's about the same as what Google says!!

    That said, Woopra still looks way better, so I'll be staying for a while yet!

    I don't know what his numbers are, but I timed the loads on the analytics for http://www.virtualbirdseye.com/ and came up with ...

    ga.js           google-analytics.com  10 KB  156ms
__utm.gif       google-analytics.com  35 b   2.06s

msAnalytics.js  analytics.live.com    6 KB   296ms
x.gif           analytics.r.msn.com  42 b    1.78s 

woopra.js       static.woopra.com     3 KB   203ms
js              engine7.woopra.com   95 b    187ms 

e-200822.js     stats.wordpress.com   3 KB   406ms
g.gif           stats.wordpress.com  50 b    203ms

    analytics.live.com also loads 6 additional files for a total of about 3KB and 280ms, but I think those are not directly for the tracker. Is it possible that something as obvious as this could be true? -->

    I mean, it seems like either Google knows of a bot that Woopra doesn't, or someone's scripts aren't loading -- are any of you taking pains to find out what happens if you reverse the orders of your analytic scripts loading, and are you making sure to install your tracking scripts the same way with all your packages?

    My site statistic also varies for Google analytics and woopra. The most important feature which differentiated it from other analytics is its live tracking and funnel path.

    Since my site http://www.ipsupermarket.com is New and very niche.

    the Different between my Google analytics and woopra is: almost 20-30 page views based per 100 page view

    But i believe woopra is still better, only thing i was just wondering can we filter or block internal traffic (IP address) ? if yes let me know how?
