Adsense traffic accurate?

Adsense traffic accuracy

[george george]

Adsense shows page impressions at 3700 per day. Analog shows 25,000 to 30,000 per day. Is this discrepancy reasonable?

[Frequent]

Very possibly.

Keep in mind that adsense is only triggered by someone with javascript enabled. Hence it won't pick up (most) spider traffic or users with javascript disabled. Also, they may not count visitors from unsupported areas.

Also be sure you aren't trying to compare "todays" figures as adsense stats lag way behind.

Welcome to WW george2
Many explanations
- Not all pages display AdSense ads
- Some pages display public service ads
- Some impressions you made are not counted yet
- Analog is not accurate statistics wise, use awstats if your hosting provide it or install it yourself its free

Also, whatever stats program you use will give you different results. Sometimes greatly different results.

One of the best programs is Analog - because Analog knows the internet is a stateless protocol. The other stat programs have varying methods of Estimating traffic and are often made more for pretty charts and pretend to give hard and fast numbers when in fact there is no such thing.

If your site uses IFrames or Frames this discrepancy is common.
