I am wanting to dump WebTrendsLive Personal addition, and track stats for my site using a PHP/MySQL package, that will give me more info.

I need to know Unique Visitors on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, Page-views, refering URL's, Search emgines, search words etc.

I don't trust WebTrendsLive for what info they gather on my visitors. but i like the stats they offer.

How long have you been it? I am testing it out now, but it doesn't track pages like these forums with diffeent pages generated from the same file.

I am so used to WebTrendsLive page-views and unique visiotrs, and daily/weekly/monthly/years stats. Is it as good as that?

How big will the DB get if my site does 35-40,000 page-views/month? I am on shared hosting.

I researched products on and off for about weeks .. I came down to this one and I've been using it for a little under a week. So far so good ! Easy to install as well.

phlogger looks great, and in my testing, it is reporting hgiher page impressiona nds Unqiue visitors them WebTrendsLive. Any ideas, as to why that is happening?

Is WebTrendsLive not always loading?

Is WebTrendsLive not always loading? in phplogger you can edit settings to decide what and how long for the app to determine whether someone is a unique visitor

Thanks.

I hope in VB3, there will be a stats section to track this info. like page-views, unique visitors, top threads etc, since these other stats apps can't track the difference in pages if the pages are generated from the same file (and also would be nice to have the same stats for the CMS).

If v3 doesn't include more detailed stats I'm sure someone will do the job.
