  How reliable are the maps on whos amung us? I have prob over 200 stars to say where people have viewed my blog from. but my blog stats say less than 100 people have viewed my blog. Which one is correct and why is this happening?

  Stats from different sites will never match up
  with your site stats because they use different
  software to track stats….

  Hi Teck07!

  Can you elaborate? What’s so special with WordPress that the stats is computed?
  Thanks!

  Scope.

  Every stat counter uses different ways of tracking hits, so that no two of them ever agree 100%.

  Hi Rain!

  But the difference shouldn’t be that huge. Besides, if you have 1 visitor each from N different countries, how can the hits be lesser than N?

  This is suspected suppression of a blog then.
