I am not sure if there is a percentage, but it really never fails.

It's just that one of the links from my site goes to an affiliate program and the affiliates hit tracking statistics allways shows more hits coming from the page where the link is rather than how many times awstats tells me that page has been viewed. It's making me wonder whether awstats is as accurate as it's cracked up to be.

I have some pretty obscure links to my sites, and it picks it up, even if its a single hit. the other one is pretty slick too..

I am not sure if this applies, but if the link has multiple pictures and stuff in it, it would be possible that this is causing it. Very poor design on the part of the affiliates tracking software, but it is possible.
