In webalizer what constitutes a hit? It shows I receive on average 50,000 hits a day but sextracker only shows about 12,000 impressions a day. Im confused

Are you comparing impressions with uniques?

Third party counters suck balls. always have and always will.

They are a fucking rip off. Remove them from your site.

Unless you are gonna pull a top 10 spot on some third party counters rankings page, you are not gonna get any traffic from them. They will only steal traffic from you.

And if you cant afford the 5 dollars for a host that will give you a cgi-bin, you dont belong in this business.

No I am not. My overall daily impressions on 3rd party counter is around 12000 a day but webalizer shows over 50000 "hits" a day. I am mostly wondering what webalizer qualifies as a hit?

Webalizer is a CPU hog. Saything that though, I do miss it on my host

3rd party counters steal traffic and aren't accurate. I worked for Hitbox counter back in the day, so I know that game pretty well.

A hit isn't counted until that counter code loads. If someone enters before it loads, it doesn't get counted. And you give up traffic for those counters.

Use webalizer, it rocks.

This is from the webalizer docs:
"Basically, HITS is the total number of HTTP requests that the server received during the reporting period. Any request made to the server is considered a hit"

Hope that helps.

That looks cool, and by "cool" I mean "totally sweet!".

What's it like on CPU overhead?

picindex · 11-20-2002, 11:56 AM

if you got the money go with webtrendslive! don't use it on your gallery though. I made that mistake and got hit with 800,000 "page views" bill. I still use it on my main site though in addition to webalizer. Both for the most part give the same stats.

if someone loads an image it also counts as a hit, not just a page, basically every request to the server is a hit, so 1 visitor could have 100 hits from just visiting one page

MichaelH · 11-20-2002, 12:07 PM

I think the "visits" in webalizer is what you can see as "hit".

can't you fix that by excluding images in the config file?

It can process 250mb of log files per minute and it is scalable. I've got a dedicated machine that DM runs on and they have great tech support. Cost effective too, better than paying hitbox $15k per year for stats.

The good old MKStats is still by far the best web log analysis software imo.
