Hi, Is it not possible to get number of visitors to the site per month by country? We have GA, but using 2 different sources, it is not like for like. Please let us know. Thank you.

for wordpress sites do you know of a plugin that does more/better than AWStats? i’ve been using Counterize plugin and it hasn’t been updated for 2 years. it seems to me AWStats gives all the same data as Counterize. so i’m going to remove Counterize for sure and use AWStats or a better one if you have a suggestion.
thank you!
