Website stats, search keyword tracker, and more...

Hello,
Do you know of any good website stats, or search keyword trackers, that are free? Hitbox's free service is no longer free, as of last week.
Or, if you don't have any suggestions in that arena, do you have ideas on ways that I could write a script to do this? Are there any better ways than to have the tracking script accessed through a image?
Thanks,
Joseph Maxwell |

If you have access to the raw Apache logs, this is the preferred method. Just cat the file, cut using a space ( ) as the delimiter, column 11 is the referer.
Then you can do all kinds of fun stuff with it.
Also, Webalizer is an excellent tool for collecting information, especially on websites with a huge number of hits. You already have webalizer on your server, and have likely already seen the reports. You can see webalizer in action here: [HYPERLINK@www.mrunix.net]
Hope this helps!

[HYPERLINK@www.bcentral.com] is a good place, but limited.

Hello!
Thanks for your replies - sorry for not replying sooner.
Looks as if I forgot to say that it is going to be for another website, not hosted on our server. Thanks for your time!

Hopefully you still have access to the Apache log files, so my response above is still valid. :)
If you don't have access to the log file, you can always write a quick function (called from each page or a central include file) that dumps out the referers to a file, for later processing. As each hit comes in, your script would record the $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER] for that hit.
