Metasun.com makes a good stats package you can run off Access or SQL Server. I'd been using it for some time when, at the beginning of March, I noticed the Inktomi bot was getting 500 errors when it tried to crawl my site.
Much back and forth between myself and MarketLeap (I paid for inclusion). No resolution.
By use of a free page optimizer, I found out some bots weren't seeing my <body> tag. If I took out the Metatraffic include, the page optimizer saw it.
So I left it out and two days later, Inktomi indexed the pages no problem.
More experimentation revealed that the lost <body> tag only occured when using the #include or Server.Execute command. Using the javascript logging method didn't seem to cause a problem.
Just a caution to those of you who might be using Metatraffic as your stats package.
