    Did anyone heard about RAW Server logs?
    I have heard that it is only way to get the accurate results on analyze traffic stats.
    Is it true? If true, how to get the stats?

    Analyzing raw logs is good for everything but counting real people.
    bandwidth, bots, hits, html design flaw (i.e. too many images, js, css etc), site performance go for raw logs.
    counting real visitors go for some javascript solution.
