Site Meter’s should be reporting numbers very close to your actual traffic. Here is a page that may may help when comparing Site Meter to other tracking systems.

Admit it.
The whole Scientology business was just an attempt to get to 2 million that much sooner, right? I look forward to your posts discussing the finer elements of Pamela Anderson and Pokeman in the upcoming months (I’m having podcast deja vu right now).
Seriously, great job guys. Here’s to the next 2 million visits... |

Kerfuffles is very grateful to McQ and QandO for linking to her site, however the URL of "Kerfuffles" has changed. It is no longer at blogspot.com, as shows in the left sidebar here. The new address is http://kerfuffles.blogsome.com. Thanks for the shout-out. |

Heh ... and look for Google bait posts about Jennifer Anniston, Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt just to run them up some more. |

I note approvingly that they were using Firefox. Can’t tell which version of XP they were using.
(And yeah, I’m writing this from IE6.01SP1, but then, I’m at work and the people here standardized on Microsoft ™ products. |

Site Meter’s should be reporting numbers very close to your actual traffic. Here is a page that may may help when comparing Site Meter to other tracking systems. Ive been developing web pages for over 10 years now, and I will state categorically that, not only is sitemeter not close to the numbers generated from our web server—which I host, by the way—but it is not pysically possible for it to be close.
For sitemeter to track a user, it depends on cookies. That’s a problem because:
a) A good number of users disable cookies for security purposes. Like me.
b) Sitemeter is a third-party cookie, and many businesses, and almost all government organizations, prevent their client machines from accepting 3rd-party cookies for security purposes.
As a random sample, sitemeter should generally agree with server stats in the ratio, or proportion of files served, but there is no possible way it can be as accurate as the server stats.
Conversely, every time the web server serves a page or file, the server logs the request. The server knows who requests a page, and cookie blocking can’t prevent the server from mogging page requests and services. |

Actually Site Meter doesn’t use permanent cookies to track visitors. It does use session cookies if available but it doesn’t depend on them.
Looking at your page at http://www.qando.net/ads.aspx it looks like the "Views" count is roughly twice what Site Meter is reporting for "Page Views".
Site Meter doesn’t include webfeeds request, robots or spiders in its page views counts for your site. Are you filtering out RSS feeds, robots and spiders from those charts?
