Monitoring Web site traffic and hits

[shearder]

Hi All

What does one use to monitor entry points to a website and how long people spend on a page etc. You know the general "I want to know all" as to what is happening on a site. Also, how do you get other entry points besides the main page?

Thanks!

Well server logs are not the most reliable thing in the world, and same with traffic stats. I have seen lately how some folks are even spamming web server logs. I wish could suggest a third party service, but I know of no good ones. I guess what I wanted to say is that it is impossible to really know everything about the web site traffic. You can figure out some though...

Server log stat programs that are popular:

webalizer
analog
awstats
urchin

HTH :)
