aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:09:19:29 to 04/Jun/2000:11:41:39)

1. Introduction

aWebVisit extracts visitor information from WWW logfiles. For each visit, your web pages are then classified as an entry, transit, exit and/or hit&run page. The links followed during the visit to your website are classified as incoming, internal, outgoing and/or in&out links. If you are not familiar with these concepts, you will find more detailed explanations in the Help file.

The flow of visitors through your website can be summarised as follows :

Entry Transit Exit Hit&Run --> Entry --> Entry Incoming Incoming Internal Internal Outgoing Outgoing In&Out In&Out Exit --> Exit --> --> Hit&Run --> Hit&Run

Some global web maps are available. Try using aWebVisit-Map for individual page maps...

2. Logfile Information

Start date 07/May/2000:09:19:29
End date 04/Jun/2000:11:41:39
'Page' hits 4264
'Image' hits 7193
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 2
Valid entries 11457

The 'page' hits represent 37.2 % of all valid hits on your website. The 'image' hits are excluded as specified in the current configuration of aWebVisit. You do not need to include or exclude other types of pages for the moment...

This is probably a good number for statistical analysis : enough samples to be useful, but small enough to be processed quickly...

3. Visit Information

5.7 % of your visitors visit at least two pages on your site, which is pretty bad ! Have a closer look at the hit & run pages and see if you might keep them on your site...

Transit 203 4.8   27 43.5   1 7.5 37 18.2 /~leflaw/lawtomation/lawtoirc.html
Exit 318 7.5   32 51.6   1 9.9 84 26.4 /~leflaw/launch1.html
Hit&Run 3010 70.6   49 79.0   1 61.4 1804 59.9 /~leflaw/launch1.html
Total 4264 100.0   62 100.0   1 68.8 1992 46.7 /~leflaw/launch1.html

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 4264 page visits, 70.6 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 62 different pages on your website, 51.6 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 318 entries to your website, you can also see that 24.2 % of your visitors use page /~leflaw/launch1.html to enter your site, and 26.4 % use the same page right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 59.9 % of the hit & runs.

Total 521 100.0   116 100.0   1 4.5 94 18.0 /~leflaw/launch1.html /~leflaw/launch1.html

Interpretation of this table is similar to the one above. Note that redirects by your web server will also appear as links, and that frames will generate links between the main frame and its children.

Since 62 different pages were visited and 116 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 1.9 links per page. This means that you may not have enough hyperlinks on your site, or that they are hardly ever used.
