Default Re: Very Interesting

Trayder - unfortunately, most web stat packages can be a bit screwy while manipulating the 'puter reporting languages [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ...

Example, my 2 site stats packages never quite agree on true hits and page views and unique visitors. So far for April, one tells me that I'm averaging 28770 hits/day 13514/files 780/pages 347/unique visitors and that I've x-fered 1.4GB so far this month. Now the other says I've had less "hits", more files, less pages, and more visitors with 1.7GB of xfer in the last 7 days. Gets pretty confusing. Unfortunately, the good webstat software I've seen is $$ and requires code in each page which can get pretty tough on dynamic forums...

Probably the best 3 stats to track for how the site is growing is pages/visits/bandwidth as each hit means every tiny image/files/script/and smiley...

If you find a good package - let me know
