I realise that if someone with blocked cookies visits my site, every page load will show as a unique visitor, but when I look at the visitor details I can clearly see that all of these visits came from the same IP address. I saw that in a previous post you replied that not many people are using blocked cookies. This certainly isn't what I've seen in the last few days!
My website went live 5 days ago, and I've been tracking it very closley. I am constantly seeing my counter shoot up by up by 20 or so unique visitors, and yet checking the visitor details show's only one! However, in most of these cases, their ip address remains constant. Why can't these visitors be tracked using their ip? I can understand if they would add one false count due to the lack of a cookie, but surely it could then just use their ip address for the next hour?
Without this, at the end of the day, I have absolutly no idea how many visitors I've had! I am certain that after only 5 days, my counter is wildly inaccurate!
