hallo, I moved the forum from old site to a new dedicated one. I put a 301 that redirect all forum sections and singular threads. Now in the stats of the new one I have a keywords search list: how to understand if the users found the old site and redirected or found directly theese keywords in the new one? I have awstats (and cpanel). Thanks!
If you still have access to AWStats of the old site, they should still show who is coming through the old site. AWStats of the new site will include both the ones coming through the old site and the ones directly coming to the new site. Jean-Luc
thanks Jean-Luc for the info. This is only for awstats or for all stats program? (both cpanel stats such as webalyzer, or google uirchin)
I am sure it can be done with AWStats. I am not sure for the other programs. Anyway, the program needs to be configured specially for this. Regarding AWStats, for example, referrers of pages producing a 301 redirect are normally not counted. To count them, you need to change the ValidHTTPCodes directive in the AWStats config file as follows: ValidHTTPCodes="200 304 301" or ValidHTTPCodes="301" Jean-Luc
