Totally agree but Google Analytics is still the best for getting stats and think they are trying to improve the product

sites use different methods and that can affect count. But then I found articles and complaints over in Google Groups about this subject

what the need to do is to drop JAVASCRIPT! A lot of people have javascript disabled or use programs that disables javascript on certain sites.

More often I have felt that,Google Analytics is totally unrealiable.They show a data about the traffics based on some phantom calculations.To my gratest astonishment I have seen the no of visitors have come down,the countries and locations from where the site was visited and intially listed have vanished,they show locations only if they wish,show a random no(abt the no of hits etc).Actaually Google needs real improvement…

I agree with Michael, it is far ahead of a lot of free programs the only one that comes close to it is Statcounters free service.

There are far too many metrics to consider and when you try and translate the results to non savvy clients it turns rapidly into a conversation about how many links have we got then?
