 * Hi guys,
    I have both plugin installed and I’m wondering why there is such a 
   big difference between the data I have in Jetpack and in WP Statistic.
 * For example, yesterday:
    VIEWS/_VISIT_ (jetpack/_wp statistic_): 90/_369_ VISITORS/
   _VISITOR_ (jetpack/_wp statistic_): 40/_147_
 * Am I missing something? I already purge the visitors with more that 20 hits, 
   now I don’t know which is the correct one and how to set up correctly WP Statistic(
   my IP is already blacklisted and so the admin/editor/author).
 * Thank you!

 * From the FAQ:
 * = I’m using another statistics plugin/service and get different numbers for them,
   why? =
 * Pretty much every plugin/service is going to give you different results for visits
   and vistors, there are several reasons for this:
 * * Web crawler detection
    * Detection method (javascript vs server side PHP) *
   Centralized exclusions
 * Services that use centralized databases, like Google Analytics, for spam and 
   robot detection have better detection than WP Statistics can. The trade off of
   course is relaying on an external service.
