When a WP blog shows off on its sidebar the following:
Blog Stats
• 3,000 visits
or worse,
Blog Stats
• 3,000 hits

I know this may be hard to swallow, but that is the truth.
Let me just backtrack a little bit and elaborate before someone starts calling me names.
1. Currently, there is no method which can claim to produce web statistics with 100% accuracy. And the resulting numbers are dependent on what methodology is applied to generate those numbers. The fact that even Google has to explain the terms used in its analytics and how the Google numbers are calculated shows the difficulty in coming up with commonly accepted standards.
