I am in process of gathering information about web analytics tools (like google web analytics) for my next assignment, but I am not able to find any good information. I am looking for: 1. Key terms used 2. What all mediums are available for data collection and How they works. 3. Any reference books, white papers etc (technical and non...
I know that image only web analytics can track visits, but is that all it can track? Can it track unique visitors or anything more than plain visits? Let's say I'm a third party trying to put html only analytics on a site like, say, myspace. What exactly would I be able to track? Any help is greatly appreciated! ...
We currently use Urchin 6 for web analytics of our site which is a white label product. We have a customer requesting access to our urchin server to view the reporting for their account. All our logs are combined, and so we need to be able to create a new profile and filter the logs for the given domain. We cannot split the logs per d...
My understanding is that Google Analytics (the tool I'd normally use for website analytics) cannot be used on a MySpace page, because MySpace doesn't allow you to embed javascript. But my client wants to track usage of her MySpace page. Has anyone found away around this? I'm looking for a different web-based, third-party analytics tool...
I need a hit counter for my various pages, but I can't use google analytics (my client isn't ready for cloud computing) and I can't use anything that requires access to the IIS logs (the server administrator owns them and doesn't want to give them up) What resources are there for user usage tracking for what is essentially a hosted ASP....
I'm trying to determine why an enterprise wouldn't want to use Google Analytics. Here are the main reasons I've seen mentioned: Inability to track clients that have Javascript disabled. Lack of ownership of the statistics - Google owns the data. Most of the web clients with Javascript disabled will probably be bots/spiders. This ...
I like to measure the time a user spent on a particualr page of my webapp. First i thought about catching the onunload/onbeforeunload event in the browser and notify the server via a XMLHttpRequest that the user is leaving now like: <body onunload="userLeaves('/url/to/current/page',xxx);" ...> ... </body> where xxx is the inital tiems...
I need to Track Unique Visitor count in my web application. I would really like to use Google Analytics but due to the Load limitations that google imposes I will not be able to use them. I am expecting WAY over 10,000 requests a day. This is the limitation that Google web analytics API imposes. Is there another company that has the same...
I cannot use Google analytics because of their limitations on the API. They will not allow me to query more then 10,000 entries in one day. Since I have more then 10,000 pages Google Analytics will not work for me unless there is a way around that 10,000 limitation. I need to pull statistics on all my pages daily and it will be over 10,0...
I need to record in "real time" (perhaps no more than 5 minute delay?) how many unique visitors a given page on my website has had in a given time period. I seek an "easy" way to do this. Preferably the results would be available via a database query. Two things I've tried that failed (so far): Google Analytics: Does the tracking/repor...
I'm not a network specialist so my apologies if i've used some of the domain terminology incorrectly, etc. For web metrics/analytics, we currently use both client-side (js page tags) and server-side (log files) data. Neither gives us "delivery" information (e.g., connection speeds), hence the interest in Network Collectors. We are in a s...
I've created a web tracking system that simply insert an event information (click or page view) into a simple SQL server table: Column | Type | NULL? ------------------------------------- RequestId | bigint | NOT NULL PagePath | varchar(50) | NOT NULL EventName | varchar(50) | NULL Label | varchar(50) | NULL Val...
My company has a web analytics package which we use for our own and customer marketing campaign tracking. It uses a combination of server logs, JS & image web bugs, cookies, unique cached files, and ETag headers to collect and collate user activity. Recently we have found that a certain (unnamed) privacy-guard application which plugs in...
I'm new to AWStats, so if this question is unclear, please ask for the needed information. I'm using AWStats v6.9, with the GeoIP plug-in running successfully. I would like to write an Extra Section that reports unique page hits for one specific page in my domain sorted by country. So the table would look something like: Country Code...
The problem I am having is filtering out the users that come to our homepage just to login, since we have the client button on the homepage (and yes I've tried to get them to put it somewhere else). I can't think of a way to do it because they don't look any different than potential clients, other than that they may visit more often and...
what database to choose to store information about site visits, key characteristics: big amount of data, many page requests per second, different reports for data presentation, i think to use MySql, any suggestions? ...
Hi, I'm building a platform that produces websites. Think wordpress.com as a similar example. Each site is going to be a subdomain of my domain like abc.mydomain.com or xyz.mydomain.com. I have a few requirements for analytics of which I haven't been able to meet all of: I would like to be able to see both stats for individual sites...
trying to look for an web analytics service(preferably free) which gets the usual stuff, browser, hits, OS, etc. in addition, it needs be able to track user click paths, and some how be able to tie in with my own database, maybe perhaps pass in JSON objects similar to PIWIK. i am tracking user click paths strictly for debugging purpose...
My application has some menu buttons that sends the users to my website. I want to differentiate in the website how many users came from my app, out of all the regular users. My app is written in C#, and currently I direct users like this: string url = "http://mysite/somepage"; System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url); On the server si...
