Recently a client was talking to me about his hosting company's stats on his website. Here was our correspondence.
fat cow sent me my visitor stats for february- so far this month, 1,805 visits, 25,590 hits..thats the most for any month since august 2011.
Frankly I don't believe those numbers, and do not use fat cow for quant stuff.
for example, so even though one page loads, it will show several "hits" which really is not what you want.
acquiring data real time for real people and not the erroneous numbers described above, it is a falsehood.
