Web Traffic Analysis

An important factor in developing a successful site is knowing the path your visitors travelled through your site. What page did they start at and what page did they end up on. Those are 2 pieces of information that are key to developing your site. And was the path they followed the path you laid out for them. This script will provide these answers for you. This would be equivalent to a department store being able to know what door their customers entered and what areas their customers shopped in first, second, third, etc., and then the area they ended up in before departing.

The log-reader.cgi program is designed to operate as a Perl/CGI program. It reads the Apache access_log file in standard ECLF format, interprets the records in this file, and returns (a) the most popular URL's on your web site and (b) the top TCP/IP addresses of clients who visited your web site. With this information, you can determine which URL's on your site are popular, and who they appeal to. You can also tell if somebody has been spidering your web site by looking for uncommonly high numbers of hits from one web site address.

Hitmatic is a Website Hit Counter & Statistics system. By using HTML tags on your web pages, the system maintains detailed counts of hits to each page, day and month for a year. It also supports tracking groups of pages. When a browser loads one of these pages it expects to receive a graphic from the URL in the tag. Instead, the URL runs Hitmatic which counts and categorizes the hit, does some maintenance stuff and finally creates the graphic (an X-Bitmap) and outputs it to the browser.

LogCount cgi is a versatile FREE-to-use Unix web site counter script written for Perl 5. The counter script is not large, allows you to use your own images, and includes several handy features enabling it to control all the hit logging needs of most web sites. LogCount can also count with a time display, or show the time without counting. Also supplied is a separate basic log viewer, LogLook, which easily displays a colour coded track of each visitors page hits. LogCount can be called from an Image Source tag, a Hyperlink tag, or a Server Side Include tag. The latter allows you to 'include' the output as normal text on a web page if your server allows SSI calls. Efficient flat-files used, MySQL NOT required.

Works behind the scenes by crontab or can be exectuted from the browser to provide the easy to follow reports. Results are tabulated by most popular to least popular entry page. Unlike access counters which are frequently not accurate this works off of your server logs to provide absolute accuracy in counting.
