Is there a software that allows you to interpret the server log and find out what is movement of each visitor based on the source (direct, SE, referrers, etc). I know in Google Analytics, you have site overlay where you get the general sense how visitors are moving. But I want something more specific, for eg. I want to see how the visitors I get from direct reference flow in my site. Or want to see users from specific country how they use my site. Such kind of information is not available in GA nor awstats. Is there a software that does this kind of stuff? Thanks,
Have you tried drilling down in Google Analytics? Content Optimisation > Navigational Analysis > Initial Navigation Click on the + to drill down.
Yes I have. But it does not take you to enough depth, just 3 levels. If you look at statscounter.com, it gives you the path for each visitor. It is based on javascript and limits itself to on JS enabled users just like GA. I am looking for some application which is destop based or web based, does not matter, but which could take my server log and interpret it for me in this fashion. Thanks for replying.
I am also using statscounter and very happy with it. About 90% [guess] of internet users have JS enabled, You shouldn't worry too much about it.
I'm looking to have a statcounter similar to what the million dollar homepage and other link sites have...where you hold the cursor over the link and it shows how many clicks that link has had. Can statcounter do this? Thanks
Create a database of all the links and then track the number of times each link is clicked. Track using an AJAX script called by an onClick event in the link.
Take a look at Trace Watch (has an excellent built in visual path analysis module) http://www.tracewatch.com Also. AXS visitor tracking system (<< Not alot of pretty charts and graphs, but gives excellent information on what paths individual visitors take through your site.) http://www.xav.com/scripts/axs/
