What is my “site's logs”?

Novice question

[Oney52]

I emailed google about ways to identify fraud clicks.

They replied I should look at my site's logs then report to them for any suspicious clicks.

What is my sites logs, and how/where do I check this?

And if it’s not a standard with every site, how do I get a “site log”?

Sorry of this is an amateurish question.

Thanks

Site logs refers to the records that the company that hosts your website keeps. They are stored as text files on the server and with most host providers they have a "stats" program that allows you to login and see how many visitors you hve had and how they get to your site. if your host provider gives you access to the raw, text file logs, you can download them and analyze them in notepad or another text viewer or apply them to a 3rd party stats viewer.
