I use SmarterStats on my web server and my stats show 3x the page views that Google Analytics or Adsense stats show. I know Adsense removes many pages views but I can’t believe it’s 100,000!

How do your on-server stats compare to Google’s?

I doubt that SmarterStats is differentiating between bots and humans. Kind of ironic for a product called "smarter" stats.

I have to agree with NickMNS on this. I started dealing with my bot traffic over 15 years ago and it is still over 20% of my visitors. Admittedly they would not be able to 'see' ads because they are being blocked but if you are not blocking bots then they will be well over half of your visitors.

@NickMNS

SmarterStats does separate bots from other traffic.
