Re: Flag Counter Views
read the welocm note and read this
That should provide the answer expected.

Re: Flag Counter Views
I already have all that info. What I want to know is what is the difference between New Unique Visitors and Flag Counter Views. Why is the latter number so much higher?
TIA

Re: Flag Counter Views
Sue,
New unique visitors visit your site the first time or returning visitors have deleted their session cookies.
Why is FC views higher? Two options:
1. Your site was opened several times by returning visitors who haven't deleted the session cookies. They will be counted as FC view and not as new visitor.
2. You have FC placed on several places on your site and each unique visitors will be counted once whereas the visits on your other pages will be counted as FC views.
You can easily check how that works if you check the "Visitor Log" menu item. It shows how many new unique visits and how many FC visits.
Is that sufficient for you?
