Why Your Stats are Different Among Different Stats Programs

The different stats programs use different methods for calculating the numbers. Users will also notice that google analytics records different numbers too. 

The website stats program "AWstats" filters out a lot of visits that it suspects are robots, and non-human traffic. Also the AWstats records views to all pages and items on your website.

The image views stats program only records image views - it doesn't record views to gallery pages, or blog pages etc.
The image view counts generally don't filter out non-human traffic, so they usually include visits from search engine spiders and other traffic that isn't necessarily a real person.

In short every stats program has a different method of recording stats and no method is 100% accurate.
