Desperately
Seeking Web Log File Standards
November
22, 2002
Many
log file analyzers, OpenWebScope, for example, report the useless term
"hits" as the more-useful-to-know term "page views."
There are also different definitions of what constitutes a visitor session.
Some programs say that if a visitor to your site is inactive for 10
minutes or more and then they come back, they count as a new visitor.
Obviously users shouldn't be counted twice, but when you deal with dynamic
IP addresses, it's hard to know if the user with IP address 64.217.243.22
was the same person as it was 10 minutes ago. Link: http://www.traffick.com/article.asp?aID=125
Monitoring
your web traffic online - Part II log analysis tools
August 31, 2001
In
this issue I am inviting the more adventurous individuals to start testing
and evaluating a professional "log analysis tool" to complement
and eventually partly replace your "online live tracker" system.

Open Web
Scope
I love
software that is packed with value and easy to use. For the past year
I have been evaluating web log server statistic packages. These are
of incredible value to a web marketer who wants to know where his visitors
come from, what words and phrases they are using to find his site in
the search engines, and which pages they are reading most frequently.

Log Analysis
- A Tribute to success - Website Management
A completed
website that is listed in search engines, hosted on a reliable server,
and ready for action is a great thing. It holds nothing but promise
and potential for greatness. A new site owner will look at the site
with pride. Eventually, however, that pride turns to worry. Why? Because
questions start to arise. Link:
