Doesnt a test need a control? How do you know what stats are correct and which are not?
If 4 FREE traffic scripts all show nearly the same stats while a billion dollar companies script shows very different stats, I'm going to have to go with the billion dollar company and figure they know a few more tricks.
I do know that the coding I use to track referrers, track SE traffic/queries, and to trade traffic nearly mirrors my GA stats. And the coding is nothing overly technical, actually pretty simple just a few checks and stuff.
Of course server side stats have to be the most accurate, but awstats is the most common one and its painfully basic and doesnt really give you much information.
