    AwStats and Google Analytics will always have different stats. Google Analytics is not accurate, for various reasons.

        If you want the real stats, check your logfiles of your webserver. You can import the files to a logfilereader.

            I also noticed huge discrepancies in mine. Currently Google Analytics is only displaying my pageviews as 20% of what AWstats is showing. I like Google Analytics for its charting and visuals. AWstats seems to just work better.

            I cannot figure out how to exclude my own IP address from AWstats. I'm assuming I have to edit a file on my server for that?

              Awstats is counting all traffic including bots.

              Analytics is not counting people with JavaScript turned off.

              Awstats might be showing you page views and not unique hits.
