aWebVisit - Summary

(from 06/Jan/2000:12:05:58 to 04/Jun/2000:18:27:20)

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/2000:12:05:58
End date 04/Jun/2000:18:27:20
'Page' hits 152803
'Image' hits 57177
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 826
Valid entries 209980

The 'page' hits represent 72.8 % 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 a good number for statistical analysis : enough samples to be useful, but small enough to be processed quickly...

Total 152803 100.0   3650 100.0   1 41.9 15076 9.9 /yeeha.html

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 152803 page visits, 20.2 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 3650 different pages on your website, 45.4 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 16546 entries to your website, you can also see that 24.4 % of your visitors use page /yeeha.html to enter your site, and 8.9 % use page /change/mary/marympg4.avi right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 33.0 % of the hit & runs.

Total 99671 100.0   36955 100.0   1 2.7 2197 2.2 /change/mary/marympg4.avi /change/mary/marympg4.avi

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 3650 different pages were visited and 36955 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 10.1 links per page. This means that visitors often use the available hyperlinks on your site.
