  Does anyone know why this would be happening? I’ve installed & uninstalled and believe I am using the analytics plug in correctly – please help!

  I am using the Monsters Insight plug-in.
  I am comparing page views for the same time periods.
  I have Google Analytics set up correctly.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  No two analytics systems will give you the same stats, as we use different ways to track your traffic and might be tracking different kinds of traffic as well. On WordPress.com, for example, we don’t track traffic from bots, but other analytics services might track that. Similarly there will be types of traffic Google Analytics might not track, or it could even be set by you to ignore certain types of traffic.

  If you think that Google Analytics might not be tracking some traffic to your site, it’s best to contact Google Support directly. Likewise the developers of the Monsters Insight plugin is the best place to get help with that plugin. We can only help with WordPress.com/Jetpack features which we actually control.

  In future, please contact us via live chat instead for instant support:
