Which one can you trust more?

[Kishin]

I have a site.
Webalizer says its averageing 75 Visits a day and AWStats say 50,Which one would be more accurate? Or which one do you trust more?

AWstats is more reliable.

Webalizer will count 2 visits if the session extends into the next day, example: User is on your site from 11:49 pm to 12:12 am. So for that new day, you are getting a visit, whereas AW may not be counting it, and only applying it to the previous day. This is probably why Webalizer has slightly higher numbers. (I think)

Interesting. Thanks for the information, GiantDomains. I haven't known that before.

So it's Webalizer ?

GiantDomains is right, webalizer has faults i nits calculations with overlapping visits after midnight.

AWstats would be the one you should trus tmore. Even thought its gonna look nicer when your selling a domain using teh stats from webalizer AWstats is more accurate, and produces honest stats..

As the others have mentioned stick with AWstats numbers
