referrals

my hoster doesnt have these stats

[natty]

hi all,
apart from changing who we host with, is there a little plugin-like asp script that will log my referral stats and the like?

or should i just sign u pfor a counter?

any advice appreciated

cheers

If you're serious about your site, you should find a decent host.

Otherwise, you can probably find an ASP script that would work for you (you need to run it from every page tho') - try something like scripts.com or google it.

Personally, I hate those little counters. And they aren't that accurate (doubt they give proper referrers for example).

I'm assuming your on an IIS Box by way of the Microsoft forum, is that accurate?

Tell your hoster to turn on referral tracking:

Website Properties-->Web Site Tab-->
Check enable logging
Click Properties -->Extended Properties Tab
Check Referrer
Click OK
Click OK

If they're not willing to do so I can only imagine it's a storage issue.

If changing hosts is out of the question, you could easily roll your own solution. Research the ASP Server Variables; there you'll find almost everything you need (IP, Page, Referring URL, etc...) to capture and stuff into your own stats table. Then you just need to write your own queries.
