Stats Issue/Question

coleygm · August 30, 2008

I noticed that my stats total this month listed under Control Panel - Stats (13,097) doesn't match the the number listed when i click into details under 'All Galleries' (37,914)?

any thoughts?

Additionally, how can i find out how many individual people are actually seeing the site. I realize it's possible that one person could technically be racking up all the hits, so curious how we could find out how many people are actually hitting the site. I do subscribe to goggle analytics, but not sure if i should list {mysite}.smugmug.com (digitaltheta.smugmug.com) OR as I have a pro account my actual site (sports.digitaltheta.com).

again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I honestly think that SmugMug stats are not all that reliable. In fact if you look at your stats under Control Panel then under Customize Gallery you'll find conflicting sets of numbers.

I think that many of your questions will be better answered by installing StatCounter. It's free and it will give you a wealth of info on your visitors.

Google Analytics is also free but a little too complex for my needs.
