I struggle with that one too, I think google analytics counts our own page views too unless you change the settings to not count your own IP address.

I noticed that difference yesterday too. Folksy’s views don’t count some. From stats page: _The data above does not count views of your shop page, nor does it count thumbnail views in index pages (eg. category pages, search results)_

I have noticed that if I sign in Folksy with Chrome, then my views count. If I sign with Firefox, they don’t. I don’t remember with IE.

Thanks for your comments , I won’t rely too much on any of them, Folksy had problems before with this so I’ll vere towards GA. (plus theirs are higher lol)
