Above are the stats for  If we see the stats on , the stats for visitors per day are different. These stats are also shown on their home page also shows difference.     This difference is seen in almost all the beta sites.   It might be related to  a few days ago about inconsistency of Google Analytics.  Update on 16/04/2018:  also shows wrong stats now.

In the ,  can monitor some things like the total traffic on the site. However, it seems to be broken at the moment, all figures are almost zero. This is how it looks for Meta Stack Exchange (other sites show similar pictures):

If you have Area 51 followed, the network drop-down does not display the reputation for the site:    Is this an error or a bug? As with the other quirks of Area 51 mentioned in , it's hard to tell.

In every beta site, we usually see the Site Stats side bar in the right hand side, at the end of side bar there is link for more stats in Stack Exchange site. For an example: In  when hover the link it shows the URL as , click on that it will redirect to Stack Exchange All sites page.  But what is the use of the #health at end of the URL, it is expected to highlight the Health beta in the All sites page? or some other purpose?

OK, so I noticed that on every page load (at least here and on Stack Overflow but guess on any Stack Exchange site) there is request for that external JS file:   () Who are we signalling to? For what purpose?  Seriously now, this JS is generating a pixel aka  but I couldn't find anywhere what Stack Exchange is doing with this information or who can access it. I went through the  and found reference to Google Analytics which is totally fine, but the beacon or  (beacon host) are not mentioned there. This is a sample of the data passed using the beacon:    The marked number is the same on all sites and doesn't change per page so it's either user based or machine based. Can I get some details about this? Update: following  I checked the page source and indeed c2 appears to be the Stack Exchange ID: _comscore.push({ c1: &quot;2&quot;, c2: &quot;17440561&quot; });  So from what I see, they just measure amount of page hits, without actually collect anything user or browser related.

In the  you can see as All Time top users as well as Last 30 days top users. Link from the post count refers to the search request, and doesn't work as expected for Last 30 days section. E.g. I see "8 answers provided" in the tooltip for "8" number near Shog9:        But the search request returns all Shog's answers:        For the current time there are 296 results. This is slightly more than 8, isn't it?  Thereby I suggest to add a created:30d.. option to the search request to reflect the actual post count.  You can try this:     ..

While I'm writing this question, I've written  on this site:  Yet my network profile shows :  I don't think it's a caching issue, as I've checked the profiles of users who posted something today and their counts have been properly updated. My  is ~30 hours old. Deleted posts might play a role, but my  is from last November, and none of my questions has been Roomba'ed since. My  is somewhat newer (24 hours).  After I posted this (my 302nd) question, the number of questions on my network profile had immediately increased by 1, to 301, so it is updated but it's still off by one. A year later, the problem still persists, but I now noticed it also happens to my MathOverflow account; the network profile says 16 answers:  one more than my site profile (15 answers):

On the users tab page there is a gray box in the mid upper right. A long time ago i believe it was used to show user statistics change over time. Now i see noting. Is this common among other SO, SF, MSO, and SU users? I have tried viewing the page in IE and Firefox with the same results.

My Google Analtyics shows an steady audience of approx 180 visitors a day , most of them coming from organic search. However, Search Console queries show less than 40 clicks a month, which clearly doesn't match the data shown by Analytics.   About three months ago my site used to show more than 4000 clicks a month in Search Console queries, now it shows less than 40 and the audience has not changed, any idea on how to solve this issue?

Some sites appear far more often in the hot questions list than other sites. I don't have any hard data on that, as that kind of data is just not publicly available, but I'm pretty sure my subjective impression on that is reasonably accurate.  Those sites don't appear more often because they are inherently more interesting, but because they have certain voting and answering patterns that favor them in the hot questions algorithm. I would argue that the goal of the hot questions list is to present questions from a large variety of SE sites to the whole network, and to show possibly interesting questions to users that would not have found them otherwise.   To achieve this goal, the spots in the hot questions list should be distributed among all SE sites. The algorithm should try to get a good sampling of all sites, and it should try to normalize the results for varying voting behaviour. At the moment, sites that intrinsically get more votes and more answers per question seem favored in the algorithm.  So I think one part of the algorithm should try to identify questions that get an unusally high amount of votes and views for that site, and give the smaller sites a chance this way.  I'm not sure on how exactly this weighting should be done, as a complete normalization would likely not work across the huge difference in scale for all the SE sites.  As a specific example that the current algorithm is broken I'll present . I don't think any site should occupy a third of the whole list.   Here's another instance where one site is overrepresented at the top of the list:

This has bothered me for a long time as it puts my sites bounce rate up.  I am based in the UK and my business covers this country and no others, so I have never advertised outside of the UK but for some reason I get 21% of my traffic from Germany.  The German visits all have something in common, they are always direct, they always land on the home page, they never open any other page and the visit never lasts even a second so it gives me reason to think it is some kind of bot?  I really want to stop this so I have try to improve my sites bounce rate but I can't figure out why this is happening.  Below is a picture of my top two countries and you can see how different the visits are from Germany.

We're seeing Google Analytics report a huge amount of hits and large drop rate on some of our pages, but investigating this further reveals more questions than answers.  For instance, one page is reported to have over 1000 hits this month, but in our database (Magento) we only see 6 hits.  When I look into the Apache access log, I do see many GETs for this URL, but they all have a referrer like this:  http://dp.g.doubleclick.net/apps/domainpark/domainpark.cgi?client=dp-oversee17_3ph_xml&amp;channel=001071&amp;hl=en&amp;adtest=off&amp;max_radlink_len=20&amp;r=m&amp;fexp=21404&amp;domain_name=hcartoon.com&amp;optimize_terms=off&amp;terms=Cartoon%2C%20Flash%20Animation%2C%20Caricature%2C%20Cartoon%20Picture%2C%20Free%20Animated%20Ecards%2C%20Cartoon%20Animation%2C%20Funny%20Posters%2C%20Cartoon%20Clip%20Art%2C%20Cartoonist%2C%20Toons%2C%20Cartoonist%2C%20Toons%2C%20Funny%20Picture%2C%20Cartoon%20Posters%2C%20Caricatures%2C%20Cartoonists%2C%20Toon%2C%20Business%20Cartoons&amp;drid=as-drid-  And it goes on...  I'm assuming it is a feeble attempt to DDoS, but that's not the question, I'll save that for a different SE.  Could this be skewing our Google Analytics numbers?  If so, how can we sanitize Google Analytics so that these types of GETs aren't counted?  EDIT: We do not use AdWords.  We do have an AdWords account set up but have never utilized it.  I traced the logged IP addresses to various places outside the U.S. like  Sri Lanka, Taiwan, ...ad nauseam.  EDIT 2: All of the GET requests seem to have a ?gclid= in the URL.  I'm beginning to wonder if there's some black-hat SEO aimed at making us think our metrics are bad so we'll hire one of them.  We do get SEO spam all the time...  Regardless, still looking for a way to filter past Google Analytics data.

The New Model profiles on Meta.SE (pretty big improvement!) have a section for "" stat.  Now, unless I'm much mistaken, that stat is specific to a given site on the network.  If that assumption is indeed correct, is there a way to find out the "People Reached" summary across 100% of the sites on the network for all your connected profiles?

I like to use  to view usage stats for some of the sites, however deleted posts are not included on Data.SE and I think this skews the numbers quite a bit, particularly on sites with a lot of deletions. Would it be possible to include some limited data about deleted posts in Data.SE to make statistical queries more accurate? You could clear the non-public data fields of deleted posts, such as Posts.Title, Posts.Body, and Posts.OwnerUserId to address privacy concerns explained . You could even leave the PostId set to 0 since I know SE doesn't want to provide users with a way of searching deleted questions. The data I would mostly be interested in is CreationDate, LastActivityDate, PostHistory (date closed, date reopened, date deleted, etc), and the fact there was a deleted question in the first place. Up/Down votes, Score, Tags, and View/Answer/Favorite count would also be preferred. This would make the statistical queries accurate, while still removing the information not meant to be visible to the public.
