Web statistics
I've been looking for a good web statistics analysis package. I had just decided on AWStats, an open source package, and found it already installed.
Webalizer gets a severe beat down.
Among the things I found interesting, especially given that it's only half the month (we restarted on the 15th):
- 5,413 unique visitors, 8,522 visits, 18,549 page loads
- two IP addresses actually access the site more than I do
- Bloglines hit the site 711 times
- I got 2,392 visitors from the Bloggies nomination page. That means the non-Bloggies traffic is in line with what I'd come to expect
- I got 3 hits each from WebTV and CP/M (!!!) users, 10 from an OS/2 user and almost 8000 from systems that don't identify their OS.
- RSS version 1.0 (1539) and 2.0 (1733) downloads are a statistical dead heat
- How it was done I can't imagine, but it's estimating P6 was added to 111 people's favorites list.
- Slightly less than one quarter of my bandwidth usage was graphics, and this isn't even a particularly graphics-heavy site. I even minimize the size of any graphic I post, so this was a big surprise.
