    If I understand it right tracewatch is for pages written in php? So if all my pages are .html or .htm I must use javascript which has disadvantages.

    Is this correct?

    Found the answer to my question.

    I just did a bit more reading and it was talking about the code you put on each page to monitor traffic, not the actually page extension.

    Well I got it installed but it shows no hits to my site, I know that is Inaccurate.

    To those that have tracewatch does your pages have to be php?

    Not it does not. Your HTML only needs to support PHP. I have it working on my sites.

    For me its more an issue of inaccuracy. Comparing referrals from webalizer to awstats to tracewatch, tracewatch seems low/wrong. But I LOVE the data analysis parts like the paths.

    I use trace watch + google analytics

    Trace watch is very cool, very simple, real time, and you have the visitor paths
    Google analytics not real time but very good for the global picture and geo location accuracy, and other little gadgets.

    So if you use the 2 you have a complete system
