Stat Tracking


The Little Guy

Recommended Posts

Have this stats site, It reads in stats from Javascript and PHP, and saves the info to a database. Currently it tracks:

 

- display (1024 X 786)

- referrence (http://previospage.com)

- current Location (http://mysite.com)

- date (2007-11-01 12:12:03)

- weekDay (Thursday)

- ip (123.123.123.123)

- user agent (Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322))

 

With that information, I can show:

 

- display

- enterence page

- exit page

- #/hour

- #/day

- #/week

- #/month

- #/year

- Browser

- Operating System

- Show browsing paths

- most popular page

- least popular page

 

If someone could tell me other things I could get using JS or PHP, that would be awesome! OR.. other things with the stats I am already getting.

I think that what you got going is great... But quite frankly, I don't understand why you would ever need any of that information.

 

If you have page views and unique visitors - that is enough information. What are the display stats going to tell you? Which resolution is most common? - Will you really change your website because 2% more people last night used 640 X 480 resolution?

 

I use a service which gives me everything you would ever ask for. Display, search key terms, browsers, ips addresses, regional blocks... unfortunately, I recently noticed that the info is useless. I do not adapt my website according to my current stats, but aim to adapt my site to the world's stats. Over 50% users use the 1024 resolution. Why should I change it since 2% of my visitors use 640 X 480? ???

 

.... To go back on topic, I do recommend trying to get search keywords ppl used on google to get on your site! That will become the most beneficial!  ;)

 

Sorry for going a bit off topic!  ;D
