Dunno if that's per domain or not.</p> <p>But thanks <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /></p> Mon, 18 Dec 2006 14:38:04 +0000 Megan comment 1212364 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/webmasters-corner/know-where-traffic-comes#comment-1212353 <p>If you need any help, I'd be more than glad <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/wink.png" title="Wink" alt="Wink" class="smiley-content" /></p> Mon, 18 Dec 2006 12:02:06 +0000 James comment 1212353 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/webmasters-corner/know-where-traffic-comes#comment-1212292 <p>I don't know what exactly happened - Jeevesbond tried to install it yesterday and couldn't get the right access. I guess we aren't able to run perl scripts maybe, I don't know. He's going to put in a support ticket.</p> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:34:39 +0000 Megan comment 1212292 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/webmasters-corner/know-where-traffic-comes#comment-1212290 <blockquote class="bb-quote-body"><p><strong>Megan;212288 wrote:</strong> We unfortunately aren't able to install awstats on our dedicated server because we don't have the right access <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/sad.png" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content" /> </p></blockquote> <p><img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/sad.png" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content" /></p> <p>Are you able to access your access.log file?

I use awstats at work and I really like it.</p> <p>You should be able to look at your server logs in some form. Your host should have something installed for that. If you want to see which sites are linking to you, you can go to yahoo and do a linkdomain: command on your site (so linkdomain:<a href="http://www.meganjack.com" class="bb-url">meganjack.com</a> - I forget if you need to put in the http:// or not). Yahoo is much more thorough than google's link: command which only shows a sample of the inbound links. Yahoo also sorts the links by importance, so the strongest links are at the top (that would be best quality not necessarily highest traffic)</p> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:11:13 +0000 Megan comment 1212288 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/webmasters-corner/know-where-traffic-comes#comment-1212286 <p>You can use those tracking sites like: <a href="http://extremetracking.com" class="bb-url">http://extremetracking.com</a> and many others.</p> <p>Or</p> <p>If you have access to your webserver log files, like access.log (for Apache) and you can run Perl scripts, awstats is what I recommend. <a href="http://awstats.sourceforge.net/" class="bb-url">http://awstats.sourceforge.net/</a></p> <p>EDIT: There's also this thing: <a href="http://mapstats.blogflux.com/" class="bb-url">http://mapstats.blogflux.com/</a> which uses google maps to plot out your visitors.</p> <p>EDIT2: Check this one out as well: <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" class="bb-url">http://www.google.com/analytics/</a></p> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:01:07 +0000 Arch comment 1212286 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
