PORTAL ANALYZER

multipage hit counter

Portal Analyzer is a convenient solution to tracking your websites popularity.  Its a lot like having an invisible hit counter on every page.  Portal Analyzer produces daily reports telling you exactly how many unique visitors you received and which page they entered by.  This way you can tell not only how many people visit your site but which pages attract the most visitors.   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.

SuperStats Statistics Log Analyzer

I purchased Web Trends awhile back. The program looked great, but was virtually useless. Everyday you had to download your stats (10-20 megabytes of data) and then Web Trends would spit out a ton of data which I manually checked and found to be innaccurate. I also signed up for their affilliate program but they never sent me a dime. Worse was 50% of the data analysis was completely worthless. Thus, I invented a completely automated version of their program except I took out all the bugs and didnt waste time making pretty graphics. This is a hardcore statistical analyzer. Calculates raw hits, page views, bookmarked visitors, home page views, unique visitors, bandwidth, page views per visitor, operating systems and browsers used, error reports, lists top refering URLS, most and least popular webpages on your site, and even does security checks to warn you of hackers trading passwords and networks launching password hurler attacks. This may not be as pretty as Web Trends but its a hell of alot more useful. Runs automatically via crontab.System Requirements
