aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:09:55:07 to 04/Jun/2000:11:50:42)

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/2000:09:55:07
End date 04/Jun/2000:11:50:42
'Page' hits 4947
'Image' hits 24956
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 2
Valid entries 29903

The 'page' hits represent 16.5 % of all valid hits on your website. The 'image' hits are excluded as specified in the current configuration of aWebVisit. You may want to include some of the 'images' in a next run...

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

3. Visit Information

4. Page Information

The most important page statistics are given in the table below :

Page Type Hit
Count		 Hits
(%)		   Page
Count		 Pages
(%)		   Min.
Hits		 Avg.
Hits		 Max.
Hits		 Max.
(%)		 Max. Hits - Page
Entry 757 15.3   26 76.5   1 29.1 393 51.9 /contents.htm
Transit 2262 45.7   33 97.1   1 68.5 453 20.0 /products.htm
Exit 757 15.3   31 91.2   1 24.4 100 13.2 /products.htm
Hit&Run 906 18.3   30 88.2   1 30.2 318 35.1 /contact_form.htm
Total 4947 100.0   34 100.0   1 145.5 701 14.2 /products.htm

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 4947 page visits, 18.3 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 34 different pages on your website, 91.2 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 757 entries to your website, you can also see that 51.9 % of your visitors use page /contents.htm to enter your site, and 13.2 % use page /products.htm right before leaving your website. And page /contact_form.htm is responsible for 35.1 % of the hit & runs.

5. Link Information

The most important link statistics are given in the table below :

Link Type Hit
Count		 Hits
(%)		   Link
Count		 Links
(%)		   Min.
Hits		 Avg.
Hits		 Max.
Hits		 Max.
(%)		 Max. Hits - From Page Max. Hits - To Page
Incoming 541 17.9   101 18.1   1 5.4 127 23.5 /contents.htm /products.htm
Internal 1721 57.0   466 83.4   1 3.7 43 2.5 /products.htm /prod14.htm
Outgoing 541 17.9   256 45.8   1 2.1 21 3.9 /products.htm /prod14.htm
In&Out 216 7.2   81 14.5   1 2.7 31 14.4 /contents.htm /products.htm
Total 3019 100.0   559 100.0   1 5.4 176 5.8 /contents.htm /products.htm

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 34 different pages were visited and 559 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 16.4 links per page. This means that visitors often use the available hyperlinks on your site.
