 * Hi. I’ve been using this plugin for a while and notice it counts about 4.5 times
   the amount of pageviews Google Analytics does. Could this be caused by the plugin
   counting bots (and are there really so many bots visiting) or is it something
   else?

 * Same here, for now only up to 3 times more than Google Analytics. Same question,
   but I see that the previous one wasn’t answered for 6 months…

 * I think the plugin counts every hit… because for example in my case when i send
   a new post, they gives automatically about 5 visits (in no time).
