    Hi there!

    I have a weird problem. On my posts i have a counter that shows how many times the post has been read.

    In one of my posts i have “read 60 times”. However, plugin shows that the same page has 111 visits.

    In another post i have “read 80 times”, but the plugin says 46 visits.

    Any ideas what causes this? ??

    From the FAQ:

    I’m using another statistics plugin/service and get different numbers for them, why?

    Pretty much every plugin/service is going to give you different results for visits and vistors, there are several reasons for this:
    – Web crawler detection
    – Detection method (javascript vs server side PHP)
    -Centralized exclusions

    Services that use centralized databases, like Google Analytics, for spam and robot detection have better detection than WP Statistics can. The trade off of course is relaying on an external service.
