The Web/FTP Stats option includes a number of sub-options which allow you to view
various forms of information and detailed statistics about visitors to your web
site and users of anonymous FTP access to your account... |
Analog produces various reports on your site visitors including monthly, daily
and hourly visitor summaries, referrer information showing how visitors are finding
your site, and even a report on the most common keywords being used to find your
site through the search engines. It is a fast and convenient way of viewing great
lightweight statistics about your visitors.
Webalizer is a more complex statistics program than Analog and produces a nice
variety of detailed graphical charts and graphs about your site visitors. The
reports include monthly, daily and hourly breakdowns of site hits, web page views,
visitor sessions and amounts of data transfer (or bandwidth usage). Other reports
include most frequently accessed files, site entry and exit pages, the hostnames
of your visitors, a breakdown of site access by country and detailed referrer
information including the sites sending you your visitors and the full search
strings being used to find your site through search engines. Webalizer is one
of the most popular web statistics programs available today. If your account has
an active anonymous FTP section then separate "visitor" statistics will be available
for this.
The Latest Visitors option will show you some detailed information about the most
recent visitors to your site.
The Bandwidth option shows how many bytes of data transfer your account has used
so far this month. It also gives a monthly breakdown of total transfer for previous
months. These figures are only intended as a rough guide and, due to system limitations,
may be lower than actual usage.
The Error Logs show any errors caused during the operation of your account.
See below for a more detailed explanation.

This option allows you to quickly and conveniently check how well your site is ranked in many of the
top Internet Search Engines.
We should point out that this utility is provided as a convenience only and comes with no guarantees.
Whilst we make every effort to keep this utility up to date, the various Search Engine companies
frequently change the format of their results. At the best of times, the results from this utility
are only likely to be approximate. If accuracy is critical, we recommend that you perform a manual
search at those Search Engines which are most important for your site.
If you would like to learn more about submitting to Search
Engines and optimising your web pages to rank well once accepted, the
Search Engine Watch web site is a good place to start. |

The Error Logs show any errors caused during the operation of your account. For
example, errors might be caused by missing files, broken links or CGI scripts
with programming errors or incorrectly set permissions. This feature is
particularly useful for debugging CGI scripts.
Only the most recent errors are shown here - the output is cleared once a
day and a maximum of 300 error messages is displayed. |

You can use this option if you would like to download your raw access logs in
order to analyse them using your own choice of offline web statistics program,
such as Webtrends
or the offline version of Analog.
The logs are available for download in compressed form and will need to be extracted
after download using a utility such as Winzip.
Once extracted, the logs will be available in a file named after your master domain
name. We recommend renaming the file straight away and giving it a .txt extension,
especially if your master domain ends in .com as otherwise there is a danger that
Windows will try to execute the file if you should double click it by mistake
(Windows uses .com as the extension for executable "command" files).
The raw logs are cleared automatically by the system on one or more of the last
three days of each month and so it is a good idea to download them a couple of
days before the end of the month if you want to be sure of getting a chance to
analyse the raw logs for that month. Of course, the various
graphical statistics will still be available for all
previous months.
When sites become very busy the raw log files may need to be deleted before the
end of the month.
Whilst the ability to download your raw logs can be useful for many
sites, be aware that for some very busy sites the raw log files can become
so huge that downloading them can become inconvenient or even impractical. |
