Hi Nwosu,

When comparing analytics results the question isn't just which one is most accurate but also what are you trying to measure? For example, Google Analytics and the simple stats that come along with a free blogger account measure completely different things. In some ways, both provide helpful data, but it would be a mistake to think both are measuring the same thing.

I'm glad you addressed this issue. Being in the blogging industry, you hear of many different tracking tools with Google Analytics always claimed to be the best. I suppose that's true but it's always good to have more than one tracking source. There's no one perfect tracking tool that'll catch all the data you need, so diversity is key. Thanks for sharing your insight with our community.
