aWebVisit - Summary

(from 06/Jan/2000:18:19:05 to 04/Jun/2000:17:30:22)

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 06/Jan/2000:18:19:05
End date 04/Jun/2000:17:30:22
'Page' hits 1819
'Image' hits 550
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 0
Valid entries 2369

The 'page' hits represent 76.8 % 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 not a large enough sample for statistical analysis. Please use logfiles covering a longer period of time...

3. Visit Information

26.6 % of your visitors visit at least two pages on your site, which is not so good. Have a closer look at the entry pages and see if you might keep them for a while...

Total 1819 100.0   74 100.0   1 24.6 509 28.0 /

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 1819 page visits, 22.8 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 74 different pages on your website, 21.6 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 272 entries to your website, you can also see that 43.4 % of your visitors use page / to enter your site, and 32.4 % use page /title/ right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 24.6 % of the hit & runs.

Total 458 100.0   90 100.0   1 5.1 103 22.5 /title /title/

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 74 different pages were visited and 90 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 1.2 links per page. This means that you may not have enough hyperlinks on your site, or that they are hardly ever used.

6. Status Information
