There is a dynmatic page , such as
[mydomain.com...]
[mydomain.com...]
[mydomain.com...]
I want to know how many user read "20080401", and how many read "20080402", and so on.
Is there a good suggestion ?

I try to choose "show query string in report" option at Web Analysis ->Option ->Analysis->Page file types -> show query string in report for asp page. Everything seems fine except my application team told me webtrends server post many http request to [mydomain.com...] application server! I don't understand why? Could anybody help me ? I never met this problem before when I choosing"Truncate query string in report" option.

Any response will be very thankful.

I use webtrends analysze 8 with web server log.

WebTrends is trying to obtain the page titles for all of the individual URLs, so it has to go to your web site and request the page in order to know the titles. Before you made this change, it didn't have to do so many requests because everything looked like one page, so it only went to your web site to make one request. It will only do this once per page because it will store the titles in a cache file (see /datfiles/page titles folder in your program folder).

If you do NOT want to display page titles in your reports, you can turn this off and WebTrends will not make any requests to your server. Find the "HTML page titles" radio button in your admin UI - in recent versions it is in the General tab. Turn it off.
