DutchExpatShop Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Dear all, I have attached a document with my customers (bezoekers in Dutch, second column next to the date). Are these real customers, because it shows sometimes more than 10.000 visitors per day. This can not be true right? Please let me know what the meaning is of these visitors/customers/numbers. Many thanks! Mark Nooijen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishordog Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) i think a lot of these are crawler visits, just look at days when visits doubled from 5k to 10k and conversion stayed the same or got even lower. You should try google analytics or something like Awstats under your cPanel to track these stats Edited May 3, 2014 by fishordog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try google analytics or something like Awstats under your cPanel to track these stats Thanks for your answer. I have Google analytics already and it shows totally different numbers, average visitor 200 per day. I was wondering what these numbers are. Maybe it is important for my ranking in Google? The highter the numbers/the higher the growth the higher my ranking in Google will be? Or am I totally wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 the most important difference between google analytics and prestashop stats is fact that prestashop display crawler visits, google analytics not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vekia Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 these crawlers can be for example google bot visits, they crawling around the internet and collecting information about your website. a lot of crawlers are spam and hack bots,they trying to send forms (to send some spammy links etc.), trying to create accounts on websites etc. - this is why you see that someone tried to add something to cart. You don't have to worry about these visits, because prestashop is safe script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
