aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:08:56:27 to 04/Jun/2000:11:50:13)

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/2000:08:56:27
End date 04/Jun/2000:11:50:13
'Page' hits 109777
'Image' hits 192440
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 43
Valid entries 302217

The 'page' hits represent 36.3 % 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 36645 33.4   4526 67.5   1 8.1 651 1.8 /~zcar/93twin.html

Total 109777 100.0   6703 100.0   1 16.4 5299 4.8 /~zcar/index.html

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 109777 page visits, 30.1 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 6703 different pages on your website, 39.9 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 17683 entries to your website, you can also see that 11.2 % of your visitors use page /~zcar/index.html to enter your site, and 3.2 % use page / right before leaving your website. And the same exit page is also responsible for 7.7 % of the hit & runs.

Total 54328 100.0   19946 100.0   1 2.7 888 1.6 /zcar /zcar/

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 6703 different pages were visited and 19946 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 3.0 links per page. This means that visitors do not use many hyperlinks on your site.
