Google Analytics requires you to copy/paste the JavaScript code they provide to you on each of your webpages. If you are using UltimateWB software, this is quite easy to do – in one step you can load the code on all your webpages by using the Ad(d)s app. Google Analytics gathers visitor information from this generated code that is loaded onto each page of your website, using a combination of JavaScript and Cookies to notify Google each time one of your webpages is visited. So, if a website visitor happens to have disabled Cookies and/or JavaScript in their internet browser, the code that Google Analytics uses may not get run and those visits are not counted. Also, Google Analytics opt-out users are not counted either.


Awstats, on the other hand, is a program that is hosted on your own server – it is not sharing info with Google, which you may prefer if you like that privacy aspect of it. The web server generates and stores a log for each visit to your website. Then Awstats processes and analyzes the log files to create its pretty reports and graphs. This is why Awstats is often referred to as a log file analyzer. You can access the Awstats program from your web hosting control panel, more info on this here. UltimateWB offers Awstats in all of its web hosting packages as a free included program, but some companies such as GoDaddy web hosting may treat it as an “add-on” and charge extra to have a such a cool traffic statistics program.
