All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

PostViews and Google Analytics not the same
« on: 08 November 2007, 18:54 »
Hi GaMerZ, lately my postviews got sky rocket, from normally 10 - 30 to 200 -500. I was really happy with that until I checked my Google Analytics account and the numbers were as usual around 30 visit for a post on average. For my second las one, which shows 458 views I only got 7 on Google Analytics. Do you know what could be the reason for that. The last 3 post on http://afrison.com are a little bit too high, and they postview goes very fast up especially at the first day but then it keeps almost the same after one or two day. I'm using WP 2.3.1 and your latest Plugin version.

Thanks a lot

Alex

Dude, you can't compare like that. GA may not be counting bots or banned ips or something else.

postviews count +1 hit as long as the person visits the page or click on the link.
