Hi

Simply that, should I use and believe the analytic s tools that come with my C/Panel reseller hosting or through the Google Analytics account we have for this particular site?

We have Awstats and Webalizer in our c/panel, which are pretty similar numbers, though not exactly the same (differences with Unique and visits I think), and then we have Google Analytics, which is great with the demographic elements and does allow you to pin point a date date range which the Awstats and Webalizer doesn't, but the number for the general stuff is just totally different.

Awstats - 2457 pageviews this month so far
Google - 489

Average session length etc etc are all different, like its a completely different site. Google says our bounce rate is 100%, which simply isn't the case, we have had many sales and even the people in the office look at various pages.

Google does instill much confidence.

Which should I use or is there a better free alternative that you can recommend?

We really appreciate the help guys

Google analytic is the best tool for website stat analysis. It is free or premium. You can also use SEMRush tool, it is paid but free trail for one month.

Try the software "logaholic ", which is a good one.

Is the 489 pageviews or users, which is totally different?

 

My company is launching an analytical site based on interaction (clicks) rather than pageviews. We will be launching our Beta version in about a month (which will be free). Signup if your interested.
