How do you measure traffic on your website?

I´m quiet interested how you guys measure traffic on your website.

I own a BTC faucet. It works with faucetbox.
On faucetbox i can see 1000+ payouts every day.

But
When I check google analytics.... it shows me only 100+ views a day. 

Any suggestions?

What host do you use? Do you have AWstats in your cpanel? I prefer to count unique visitors over page views.

Among 100+ users, many users claim twice or thrice a day which results in 1000+ payouts. There is nothing surprising here unless your payout interval is 24 hours.

Google Analytics is the one I use and is pretty good. More advanced sites may also use Alexa. You can also see small analytics in FaucetBox account.

google analytics and other tools use javascript to measure traffic. if the gap is too high, it is probably means that bots (some of them don't accept/use javascript) abusing your system.

Use IP and cookies to track users. This should fairly give if you an insight of each unique user, so on and [..]

You only see 100 views because google analytics only counts unique impressions. (not sure if it shows page views aswell) In case it shows page views have a look at that. Note that "page views" are not accurate representation of your traffic. "page views" count even if the user refreshes their browser. Unique impressions go by 24 hours.

Hope this clears some things up

Google Analytics is a great tool but not always that accurate.

When I hosted my site on Squarespace, their internal traffic tool used to different from GA by a 1-7% margin every day.

Maybe try to add an old-fashioned website hit counter?
