2005 Home Statistics

The statistics for this section are an estimate. This section consists of a group of pages which do not have a common physical location on the server, thereby making it difficult to gather statistics. I plan on making the appropriate modifications to make these statistics more accurate. But for now I feel the probable margin of error is acceptable.

Timeframe - Beginning date and time of the log file.

Hits - A count of successful hits for the document not including the supporting graphic files on the page. Files considered web pages are those with the following extensions: .htm, .html, .asp, and a few others. These are defined by the File Types tab in the Options window.

Most Requested Pages - Help Card Start of Chapter

 This section identifies the most popular pages on the site. The number of views includes only the successful hits for the page itself. It does not include any hits for graphics, audio or video files. The percentage of total views is the percentage of hits for that page compared to all other page types.
Tip: The types of files included in this table can be configured using the File Types tab in the Options dialog box.
Tip: You can list all pages on the site by selecting a number of elements higher than the number of pages on the site.


 Most likely these pages are requested the most because of their content and design. Based on the theory that the most requested pages have effectively attracted visitors, you can use similar elements and approaches to improve the less popular pages. Consider the average view times to determine which content holds visitor's attention.


 Top Entry Pages Help
This section identifies the first page viewed when a visitor visits this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly. The percentages refer to the total number of visitor sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.

Top Entry Pages - Help Card Start of Chapter

 This section identifies the pages visitors first saw when they entered this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly. For example, if a visitor enters http://www.WebTrends.com/WT-QA.HTM, he/she entered at the WT-QA.HTM page.
Percentages refer to the total number of visitor sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If a session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file would not be counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not included in the total. Such sessions are often the product of other sites referencing a specific downloadable file or graphic for example on your site. In such cases, a session may have a single hit to a non-document type file, and will not be counted for the percentage calculations.
Also, web servers do not always log hits in perfect chronological order. For example, a hit to a GIF file can appear in the log before the hit to the HTML page that refers to this GIF.
Tip: Consider using the Entry Page filter to include or exclude entire visitor sessions based upon the first page a visitor viewed.

 This statistic can indicate how you might want to optimize the architecture of your site based on where visitors are entering. You can also determine which external links to your site are most effective. Consider updating meta-tags and links.
