What are WebStats?

If you are a business, and you have a website, your website is a 24/7 advertising tool for you - your billboard on the web. Because you spent money to produce this tool, you want to know if it's effective. The way to make sure that it's effective is to measure the traffic. WebStats can do that for you.

WebStats measures the who, what, when, and where of your website traffic. If you have launched an advertising campaign on your site, how can you determine if it's effective? If you have recently indexed your site with major search engines such as Google or Yahoo, has this produced the results you were hoping for? If you happen to be a retail business that has peaks in the summer, and slows down in winter, how can you track the detailed traffic patterns on your site as you plan your year? WebStats will do all this for you and more.
WebStats reports are attractive and well organized. The tables are shaded and colored to make it easy to find the data you're looking for. You'll be able to show WebStats reports to your supervisor, or print them right to a transparency and show them in a meeting.

WebStats is a powerful and feature-full tool that processes your website log files and generates a collection of attractive tables and graphs that show you:

  • When visitors have viewed your website, displayed as a complete monthly history as well as broken out by days of the month, days of the week and hours.
