Graphical Traffic Reports

Exploring Traffic Patterns and Visitor Information

Like most sites, we maintain logs of the traffic through our server. This includes all kinds of information that is useful both for planning future development of the sites, and for measuring if our sites are achieving their aims. Using ASP and ASP.NET, with their capability to detect individual user 'sessions' (all the pages visited while browsing the site are considered to be a single session), makes it easy to capture more details than are included in the ordinary Web server's log.
