Hello,

This question may sound silly but here goes...

Let's say I have 20 sites. I want to know the following for each site...

- unique visitors
- what percentage came from what engine

... and that's it.

I don't want to access the cpanel of each domain to get this info. I would much rather have a desktop app that I can load the username and password for each domain, press a button and have it retrieve this data for me.

And then give me a quick report.

Is there some program that will allow me to do this?

If you can help, I'd owe you a drink in New Orleans.

hi mate, im in the process os writing a php class to log a variety of website stats.

Unique visitors
search engine used, + keywords used
browser and version
OS
screen res
rough user location
page visit duration and exit page

Once i have is sorted it will work in conjunction with an sql database. Ill then write a simple graph based interface for showing results. Once ive completed it you can be my beta tester :)

Hi WildGuy,

If you're on Linux, you could knock up a simple command line script to do that using GREP or other tools (I'm no expert but I'm sure there are plenty here who are).

Hi drewst,

Sounds interesting. If it'll give me a quick and dirty feel for all my domains in one report (and require very little technical knowledge), I'd love to beta test it for you.

One potential problem... I have no idea how to use my sql db's. (Willing to learn, though.)

Hi trillianjedi,

All of my sites are on linux/unix boxes with cpanel and MYSQL. But, command line scripts, GREP, etc...? I do not know how to use these things (shakes head in shame).

I am hoping to find a tool that gives me step by step instructions that even a 4-year old can follow.

Thanks to both of you for your responses and help. Any others are welcome, too.

No problem mate, once i get it working well, ill write you a quick tutorial in SQL,

Are you hosting your site with a hosting company with access to MYSQL databases or are you hosting if yourself.

Once i have it set up it will as simple as 1 line of php in your web pages.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for that!

My sites are hosted with a host that allows my use of mysql dbs.
