Webalizer uniques and Adsense impressions differ greatly

Postby jordanthegreat on Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:24 am

Hey guys.

I have a problem. When I view my Webalizer statistics for my proxies, I am seeing 1000 - 5000 uniques per day, per proxy. However, my Adsense is reporting a mere 100 - 300 page impressions per day, per proxy. Is this normal or is something seriously wrong with one of these reports?

Not sure, but isn't webalizer count server as a whole? so each image, page etc. in the server is counted as a visitor.

Maybe try putting statcounter or something on to see which is the correct reading.

Nah. That is "Hits" I think. But their "Visits" chart counts sessions which is more or less supposed to equate to unique visits.

I wish I could put another stats reporter on there for comparison but I am with a shared hosting account and that is all they have.

Oh. Thanks for that. I was only thinking about server side stat reporters that you look at through DirectAdmin. I will definitely try this out.

Yes use analytics or statcounter both are free. Weblizer might report total visitors including some of proxified page. Suppose a man visits diff sites in proxies for 1/2 hour and then he's in the proxified page but not surfing anymore & he again continues surfing the proxified pages, it would be counted as another visit since weblizer might have cookie for 30 mins to identify visits.

And adsense reports impressions at index page or doorway page of the proxy only so definitely there would be difference.

Check out the adbrite stats or stats of ads that you have placed in proxified pages then you'll notice that weblizer visits = adbrite page impressions + adsense impressions.

Hope that make this clear i was confused but on testing found that (few differences can also exist due to timings & other factors).
