In reply to London Blogger. I know this is an older post. But did you end up finding out what the issue was?

Google Analytics Counter Tracker plugin on Word Press is the best for your blog analysis. You are able access a whole lot of functionality just by using the plugin.

I am so happy I found this I have about a 2,000 different page view discrepancy with blogger and GA. I am thinking it is not counting a chunk of my views from Stumbleupon and Bloglovin (I am guessing because they show up as really short views). I was about to lose my mind thinking people really are not visiting my blog. LOL

In reply to Rachel. Yes indeed it could be! And it's interesting that the numbers are different even though Google owns Blogger.

In reply to Alyssa. Hi Alyssa, I think you may be right because Blogger is your web host and WPEngine is also a web host. Do you find your Blogger and GA numbers are different? They may be one and the same since Blogger is owned by Google.

IP address isn’t an accurate measure either, our IP address changes every time we have a power outage. It also doesn’t take into account share houses where several friends may all live together and each read your site. It’s very much a six of one, half a dozen of the other situation.

In reply to Rachel. I've heard blogger counts bots and I've seen big spikes in numbers after my site was crawled by webmaster tools so I'd say it's likely.

I am wondering the same as Rachel. I am on blogger and my stats are always much higher than GA…twice as much usually

This is interesting, because I’ve always notice a big discrepancy between GA and Blogger dashboard stats. Could this be for a similar reason?

In reply to Kristen Philipkoski. That's a huge step in the right direction for WP Engine. Good for them. I'm sure they took a small hit financially due to this move, but it's definitely one that'll win them more favour in consumers' eyes. Didn't know about this - thanks for sharing :)
