aWebVisit - Summary

(from 07/May/2000:17:33:13 to 04/Jun/2000:08:49:24)

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/2000:17:33:13
End date 04/Jun/2000:08:49:24
'Page' hits 426
'Image' hits  
Hits from excluded hosts  
Skipped entries 0
Valid entries 426

The 'page' hits represent 100.0 % of all valid hits on your website. The 'image' hits are excluded as specified in the current configuration of aWebVisit. You may want to exclude other types of pages (e.g. RealAudio, counters, ...) in a next run...

This is probably not a large enough sample for statistical analysis. Please use logfiles covering a longer period of time...

Total 426 100.0   7 100.0   2 60.9 130 30.5 /boat.html

It is worthwhile spending some time on this table. Notice for instance that of the 426 page visits, 45.3 % are hit & runs. Or that of the 7 different pages on your website, 85.7 % are used as an exit page at least once.

Based on the 25 entries to your website, you can also see that 56.0 % of your visitors use page /boat.html to enter your site, and 48.0 % use the same page right before leaving your website. And the same entry page is also responsible for 49.7 % of the hit & runs.

Total 37 100.0   13 100.0   1 2.8 11 29.7 /boat.html /boat.html

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 7 different pages were visited and 13 different links were followed on your website, we can say that visitors usually follow 1.9 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
