Statistics stupistics
For some reason I have two stat thingo magigos for this blog. One shows the visits, the other visits, feeds and spiders. I just had a more serious look at them and my brain started to smoke. Or laugh. Or maybe both at the same time. Cause as you may see for yourself they show a bit of a different picture.
Here are the two put together for even better view.
Ok.
Right. Which one is correct and what in the world is going on? Even if one takes into account that the dot graph represents only the medium blue part of the second graph it still doesnt make sense.
They do say not to trust statistics too much and I am really starting to agree. Its all in the eye of the viewer/blog plugin.
Sheesh.
Beats me! Is the x-axis for the top (line) graph with the same dates as on the bar graph, as in are the dates the same? Maybe one of the graphs hasn’t been updated for a while…? Or one of them (maybe even both) are buggy, I’ve come across a bunch of buggy WordPress plugins before…
Yes, the dates match, give moi some credit ;)
I guess I should stick to just one and pretend I trust it. We can have a relationship of mutual deception.
I asked about the dates matching, because believe it or not I’ve actually made a mistake like that before… I shouldn’t assume everyone is as spaced-put as I am. ;)
Sounds like you’re in for a classic dysfunctional relationship, so all I can say is good luck! haha :)
Nah, none of that actually ever happens to me. I am like, perfect or something *looks sheepishly around*
Yes, I am in for a dysfunctional relationship and your wishes may be needed. Although I got a lover (third plugin) now, so the situation is looking even more complicated.
Haha sounds like something out of Shakespeare! ;) Who would have thought you can have so much fun with website plugins…
Is it possible that one of them is actually registering your IP each time you visit your site?
It was, that is why I checked that. Plus my visits here are quite regular each day and I doubt they will make such a big difference, even if that were the case.
Nice stream, by the way ;)
