Confusing Visitor Statistics

There are conflicting statistics about how many people visit this blog, from two different internal sources at Google. The host of this blog is Google Blogger, and it has a "Stats" section that gives me one set of statistics. There is another service, Google Analytics, that gives entirely different statistics.

I heard about Google Analytics from Newark artist Rebecca Jampol (now principal of Solo(s) Project House) during a brief conversation at an art show at the NJIT gallery many months ago, so opened an account there. This is a screenprint of today's report, which shows 3,933 visits and 6,170 pageviews over the last month. The bounce rate and short time, little more than a minute per visit on average, show that many people were looking for one thing in particular, or just checking out the fotos rather than reading an entire post. That's fine with me.

But here is the summary report of visits from Blogger Stats, which shows 11,174 pageviews for the same month. It does not break out the number of visits.

Now, Google Analytics' map of where visitors are located.

Here is the map at Google Blogger's Stats area, which includes a list of the top several countries by visits.

Here, however, is the list of countries at Google Analytics.

So, which do I believe? Why do they differ? Naturally, I am tempted to believe the higher numbers, but that produces a conflict, in that Blogger shows almost twice as many pageviews, but far fewer countries.

I guess I'll never know. But it doesn't really matter. I'd do this blog if there were only 100 visitors a month. I might not put as much time into it, but I would always hope that someday this blog will be mentioned favorably in some prominent way, as by a major celebrity, and there will then be a huge archive of texts and fotos for new readers to see.
