Here is some more information: http://getclicky.com/help/technical Each analytics package must collect the data in a different way. 48 vs 18 is quite a spread. It's not just Clicky either. Google Analytics showed 2900 visits and 3646 page views for this web site yesterday. But MyBlogLog stats only 2300 and 2800 respectively.

Some seem to under report figures whilst others over report. Clicky tends to be in the middle of those two extremes so is a pretty good benchmark to use.

We have a client's website on which Clicky was recently installed and it is showing data that is quite different than Google. For example, on one day Google showed 18 unique visitors, and Clicky showed 48 on the same day, and this isn't a one-time occurrence. Since it is much more likely that one analytics package would not report data than that another would create artificial data, I have to assume Clicky has the correct data but I can't figure out why the difference exists.

For detailed history (individual actions and visitor sessions), free sites only get a few weeks of that, although that limitation isn't activated yet. Premium sites will have 1 year of detailed history. We plan to keep ‘summary’ data indefinitely for all sites.

That's good to hear. You've got a great looking analytics package and I wish you good luck with it. I've got one other query. I see you offer a basic and premium service which offer different levels in terms of how long stats are stored for. How far back in time roughly will stats be stored for the basic and premium service? Will I be able to analyze stats over say the last 6 months or 12 months. Thanks for the clarification.
