Answer Upon - Web Traffic Analytics, Redundancy, Analytics, and You
There is a story about a man who was traveling in the desert. His travels had been long and the days had been hot. He came upon a small brook trickling through a small oasis. He desperately sought a drink to refresh himself, but noticed the largest pool (which was small by any standard) had a scorpion clinging to a small rock on the side of the brook.It seems that the scorpion had fallen into the water and was having difficulty getting out. With the scorpion in the water the man had no real choice but to remove it just to get a drink.Being a kind man he sought to remov
Analog 6.0 Statistics
Analog is another host-based option with a very pure "hands on" look and feel, and a simple layout delivering a lot of raw data. Although it produces less interpreted and really less overall information than AWStats, it provides a very useful array of visual aids through pie charts for all the important numbers, unseen in other tools, and a very nice angle to have on your site.

It always amazes me when I see someone on television holding a press conference – a lawyer outside a courtroom, a businessperson at the launch of a new product. Reporters ask hardball questions. The answers are given with conviction, without hesitation. The person being questioned exhibits supreme confidence. Where does that confidence come from? How do they get it? What lessons are there for those of us who also have to face difficult circumstances and need that same, high level of confidence?You may be facing a difficult task. It might be something very unpopular. I
The Webalizer
The Webalizer is by far the most common statistics software found in Linux web hosting environments, so we'll start here to lay down the most common features. Webalizer shows its users the total number of hits, files, pageviews, unique visitors, and unique locations in monthly, daily, and hourly graphs and tables.
Webalizer then keeps running monthly totals for error codes, URL's accessed, entry pages, exit pages, unique sites, referrers, web browsers, and search strings used to reach the web site – also providing a "top 10" to "top 30" representation of each angle in a text format. Finally, Webalizer peaks your international awareness by display of a table and pie chart of your visitor's nation of origin; although this tool is not always completely reliable as the nation of origin is frequently unresolved.
Advanced Web Statistics (a.k.a. AW Stats)
AW Stats is another fairly popular host-based tool; although a bit less common due to the heavy system resources required by the web server to generate its far more elaborate statistics. Stats generated by AW Stats are far more colorful, graphical, and easier to follow; with common browsers, search engines, and spiders names translated to plain language.
AW Stats adds functionality where Webalizer leaves off by providing the duration visitors spend on each page, summation of the types of files sent out, and fully expandable lists of all values instead of 'top 10s'. In my own experience, when run alongside Webalizer, AW Stats has a tendency to recognize significantly more search strings.

If you have a music website, then there’s an amazingly simple way you can make hundreds, even thousands of dollars with little or no work.It’s called “Affiliate Marketing.” All this means is that a company will pay you for telling your website visitors (or anybody you know) about their valuable products.The company gets new customers, your website visitors or customers get new products to help them, and you get paid. It’s a winning deal all around.In addition, generating commissions is easy. Simply let website visitors know about a certain product by putting

Before the Internet, conducting research for school, work or out of curiosity involved a set of encyclopedias and a trip to the library. However, we now live in an age where information is readily accessible from your computer.On the Web, you can find information about any topic you desire. The World Wide Web is a huge database of user-submitted content where you can access an astronomical number of informative sources, online groups and multi-media.Because all of the content on the Internet is self-submitted, and there are very few regulations as to what a person can

Results of tests show one way to write listings clearly gave the best results.Years have been spent using different ways to write listings in order to get the most sales. Story telling, writing to a friend, classified ad format, ten point plans, AIDA and many more.All these do work. But one came up tops because it doesn’t try to sell anyone anything.All the tests were carried out on one of the auction sites that don’t charge listing fees. Reason being it wouldn’t cost anything to test listings.Story telling got a fair response but wasn’t easy to write for

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is in the choice of keywords for a new site, specifically secondary keywords.. These are the words or phrases that you use when writing your content to help theme the page so that the search engines know what your page is about. These secondary keywords also help to bring in more traffic, because they add more depth to your page, meaning that your page is found for a lot more phrases than just the primary phrase you page is built around.Let's look at an example.Suppose you were building a niche site on hemorrhoids.

Google Analytics (formerly Urchin)
When I sat down to write this article, I'd placed a lot of intent on reviewing Urchin in my comparisons (a comparable tool to AW Stats that's remotely hosted and updated through JavaScript). After going to get the latest version to track down information, I was devastated to find that Google has stopped making Urchin available outside of exclusive invites, and apparently intends to release something for free by this new name eventually. All I can say is – keep an eye out for this, it's got potential to be pretty neat.
ClickTracks
ClickTracks is a very unique tool that any webmaster can install themselves using either a host's raw log files or JavaScript to pull needed information. ClickTracks provides one simple but valuable piece of information – the paths your visitors are clicking through. When used, a ClickTracks report appears as on overlay on your website, placing graphs next to each link – and starting from the referring page, shows you statistically the paths that visitors from each referring site took through your web site.
NetTracker
NetTracker is a pricey solution, but fairly popular amongst internet marketers. Although I've not pursued it beyond the free trial, I know enough to outline a few perks. Above all else, the product is backed by both marketing and IT professionals – giving this solution the credentials necessary for enterprise level usage. Although I was unable to find any powerfully unique features in the NetTracker trial – the company behind the software is willing to customize its solution to meet whatever feasible needs would still not be met by any options above, so if you're looking for something still not mentioned, this could be the place to look.
Conclusively, these are only a few examples in the vastness of traffic analytics, but collectively, this list does well to cover all bases with a minimal amount of redundancy. It's possible that one of these tools will meet your needs alone, a certain combination, or even all of them, but whatever the case choose wisely – and you will have the powe
