Their statistic has always been way off related to my hosting provider, but I still use their service as a way to have an idea of the amount of traffic and the referrals URL in an easier way. By the way, they deny the delay of the page loading speed in their FAQ section. - Javier. I have been using sitemeter almost since I published my website in 2002.

Statcounter has an option where you can block your ip from being logged using a cookie. I too noticed a difference in stats (analytics has way bigger numbers for pageviews than statcounter, but the unique visitors are almost the same) Maybe you’re inflating the stats with your own ip?

I've never really done a study of it to see if I feel it's absolutely accurate. I do know that the pageloads on Statcounter are almost identical to the Adsense reporting for the two sites I have ads on, so that gives me a good sense of confidence.

They are much higher than what I had under SiteMeter and don't match my provider figures either. Have you any feel for the accuracy of the tool?
