I have a website using Google analytics but it is counting way to much.

To test this i was logging all entry's to my database with time and IP address.

My result for one day was:

Google analytics:

Visits:                     4078
Absolute Unique Visitors:   3758

My Database:

Visits:                      4182
Unique Visitors(Only by IP): 905

I use the tracking option "One domain with multiple subdomains" because the website is accessible both on www.example.com and example.com.

I'm i missing something or what could be wrong?
