One comment to the above: as mentioned in the article, a visit of a friend which for sure took place, but was not reported by tracksy, was a reason for the article. It was not a bot then.

Tracksy normally reports less visitors than other sites. This is not becuase it is less acurate, but becuase it is MORE accurate. The reasons for this are: 1) Most services sort visitors by IP alone, thus visitors with dynamic IPs register as a new visitor every time they view a page. Tracksy, on the other hand, uses a cookie/ip combination that more acurately tracks users with dynamic IPs. 2) Some services will count anything that comes to your site, including automated "bots." Tracksy ignores bots and only reports real people as visitors. Hope this helped. Hi, Bartlomiej.
