yes...google analytic result is accurate. you can check it if need just you go to your web site by entering the url in URL box as direct traffic and enter the url in search box as search engine traffic. after 10- 20 min the analytic code update the visits so try it by yourself.

I am utilizing 2 kinds of applications 1 is Google Analytics as well as the statcounter. But, Google is good with regards to data separation and data visitors per location.

Compare it with analytics.. It has more features than analytics. It gives total monitoring. It need opinions before I purchase it..

We can rely on the stats provided by Google Analytics. But it could be more transparent in providing data related to "Not Provided" "real time" etc.

We have been using google analytics and statcounter in parallel for about 6 months - but its not a perfect duplication.  Their readings differ by about 25% on a dataily basis either in terms of number of visits or keywords which are working.  You have to use both as the basis of a view and not get carried away with precise stats.

My view is that all the webmaster tools google provide you with are designed as a smokescreen - they leave out key bits or information or they withhold it.  Google do not wnat people to work out how to get to the top so they feed out a lot of confusing material to bambozzle everyone.
