Google Analytics vs Awstats

Hi guys

Why the large difference in visitors with Google analytics and my awstats. Analytics shows 238 and awstats show over 800!? According to awstats this count does not include visits by the search engine bots. So I am a bit confused especially when trying to work out my conversion ratio....

I know I have seen this question asked before on the forum but I cant remember the exact outcome of the question.

I notice many gurus selling products that they show their Awstats traffic results and not their Google Analytics....so which one is correct?

awstats records all the activity on your ip.....for instance if you have a shared hosting awstats will show for all the sites.
analytics is only for the pages the code resides and domain it was created for.
