Traffic Analysis
 

Historical Archives of Visits by Month
We maintain long term records of the monthly visit totals for trending purposes. These stats are available on request. Data storage and processor loading limits restrict our ability to analyse more than four months data on these reports. Remember that the latest data is the most important and that too much historical data blurs the current trend. (Data served.)

Page Popularity

Most Popular Pages
Shows which pages (and Applications and Downloads) are most commonly called up by visitors. Currently set to display all pages (max. 200).
EXPECTED SPREAD: Check for pages receiving unexpectedly high traffic. Why is that.? Can that page be used to redirect visitors.? Is the navigation route to the pages you expect to receive high traffic somewhat obtuse.?
ERRORS: Why are people typing in incorrect URLs.? Multiple errors of the same type could be bad links on other website pages. Search for those links (with the misspelling) to send the webmasters corrections.

Most Common Single Page Visits
Visitors entered the site at these pages then left without seeing any other pages. Top 30 displayed. It's possible that modifying these pages would encourage visitors to see other pages before leaving.
Subtract these page totals from the corresponding page in the preceding "Most Popular Entry Pages" and you will see if these pages need modifying. ie. 50 "Entered" at a particular page, but of those only 10 were "Single Page Visits" so a good 80% moved on thru the site. Apply this calculation to the base page figure to get your Site Penetration Percentage

Most Common Exit Pages
These are the last pages (top 10) that visitors saw before they left the site. The "Yuk!" factor??? Some theories hold that this page is the least attractive? Maybe there are "too attractive" links here or it is a "natural end-of-trip" page. Hard to draw too many conclusions from this report except for unusually large exits from an unexpected area.

Definitions
Visits
A visit is a collection of requests that represent all the pages and graphics seen by a particular visitor at one time. For example, a visitor to your site may go to 10 HTML pages and indirectly request 25 graphic elements. Those 35 requests represent one visit. The total number of visits is usually more than the total number of visitors because each visitor can visit the site more than once. Visits are just estimates because there is no way to be certain that a series of requests actually belongs to the same person, or, for that matter, to the same person during the same visit. Hit List determines visits based on several factors including IP addresses, cookies and the delay between consecutive requests.
Requests
A request occurs when a web server is asked to provide a page, graphic or other object. This is frequently called a Hit. Requests may be generated either by visitor going to a page or by the page itself requesting an object (usually a graphic). Using the number of requests to gauge the popularity of a site can be misleading because pages with lots of embedded graphics can generate many more requests than sites with simpler graphics. For that reason, the number of visits or the number of HTML page requests will probably give a more accurate activity picture.
Visitors
A visitor is usually defined simply as a unique IP address. A particular IP address may represent a unique person but, more often, one IP is shared by many people. If your site uses persistent cookies to better identify people, Hit List can also produce reports that calculate visitors based on a combination of unique IP addresses and cookies.
