How to print unique vists count in node.tpl?

Hi there,

Is there any way to print node counts in the node.tpl?
I am printing my node counts by drupal's statistics module however i am having a problem:

$statistics = statistics_get($node->nid);
                            print format_plural($statistics['totalcount'], '1 read', '@count');

or just print $links;

i have a block in my page which loads the same node type to show a menu kind of thing... therefore everytime I refresh the page it increments it by 2.
So i decided to show only unqiue visits and installed advanced statistics module.

but i still getting the same result. I was wondering if this plugin can help with this issue.

Thanks alot in advance.
