Great stat/log keeping tool

[kyle422]

Hey everybody. I found this tool recently
http://www.statcounter.com/
It is a great free tool. It keeps all sorts of stats like, keyword tracking (tells you what search engine too), what web pages people came from, what city state country visitors came from, popular pages, visit length, and the list goes on and on. Try it. I've found it a very valuable resource, because my servers logs didn't contain most of this information.

It looks pretty good. I think I'll install it and give it a go.

My biggest problem with these programs: I read my page more than anyone. All of my charts and graphs are skewed because I spend lots of time refreshing my pages, etc. If I could find a good stats tool that lets me ignore certain IPs, I'll be hooked!

Have you guys checked out Visitorville? I saw an article a few months ago but I blew it off as vaporware. But looks like it is still around!

It makes your logfiles into a little movie. It looks like Sim City, and your site visitors get little avatars that run around to the buildings (web pages). The more visitors, the taller the building gets (most popular pages are tallest). They come in on busses (referring sites/engines). Looks more like fun, but might make it bearable to watch logs.

It has the ability to block your IP address. So unless your IP changes (AOL) you should be in luck.

Looks intereting. That would make log viewing fun.
