Why Do Google Analytics Stats Differ from Blogger Stats?
Surely a question arises in your mind: if we have a built-in visitors tracking system in Blogspot, then why should we use Google Analytics?
The prettiest answer is below!
- The tracking system used by Google Analytics is completely different from the blogspot stat system.
According to the study, Google Analytics statistics are generally more accurate (which is true)
Because….
- blogspot stats count every crawl of your site as a pageview. This is not really a real user and these aren’t really page views.
- Google Analytics has an artificial intelligence mechanism that identifies users according to their behavior
- Google Analytics calculates the goal conversion rate based on the percentage of visitors who took a action after visiting that blog post on their first visit.
- This is a particularly interesting blog metric to track because it is an indication of how your posts contribute to overall departmental and company objectives.
There are many other examples available but these points proved that google analytics is more powerful than any stats mechanism
