aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:08:57:53 to 04/Jun/2000:11:39:40)

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/2000:08:57:53
End date 04/Jun/2000:11:39:40
'Page' hits 6223
'Image' hits 14430
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 9
Valid entries 20653

The 'page' hits represent 30.1 % 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...

Transit 196 3.1   32 44.4   1 6.1 26 13.3 /~leflaw/fenphen/
Exit 654 10.5   31 43.1   1 21.1 179 27.4 /~leflaw/launch1.html
Hit&Run 4295 69.0   50 69.4   1 85.9 1702 39.6 /~leflaw/launch1.html
Total 6223 100.0   72 100.0   1 86.4 1977 31.8 /~leflaw/launch1.html

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 6223 page visits, 69.0 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 72 different pages on your website, 47.2 % are used as an entry page at least once.

Based on the 654 entries to your website, you can also see that 26.0 % of your visitors use page /~leflaw/fenphen to enter your site, and 27.4 % use page /~leflaw/launch1.html right before leaving your website. And the same exit page is also responsible for 39.6 % of the hit & runs.

Total 850 100.0   118 100.0   1 7.2 144 16.9 /~leflaw/fenphen /~leflaw/fenphen/

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 72 different pages were visited and 118 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 1.6 links per page. This means that you may not have enough hyperlinks on your site, or that they are hardly ever used.
