are you using dreamhost? I suggest to sign up to google analytics, its free.

 

yes I do use dreamhost, but I want to know out of these stats as they track the whole site not just the front page.

 

These figures give the server requests stats. They do not show visitors as far as I see.Requests are attempts by browsers, bots etc to access the site and may not necessarily come from humans.If you are running cpanel, please look at the icon web stats and select a month.You will see your real visitors there.

 

I dont have cpanel thats the prob.

 

i would more to a server that does.
i have it,but i also use google analytics.

 

what is your date range? if you dont know the date range, you can not know the visitors/day

 

I'll second that: get Google Analytics

 

or you can apply for Webstat or similar stat counter for your site. put the code on your site and it will analyse your traffic for you.

about above information i think it might be this one

 

Well, I dont want a traffic button on my site, I keep things clean...

 

statcounter and whatcounter have 'invisible' options

 

again, they dont track whole site though, I have people enter from diff sub folders.

 

you can use www.statcounter.com . You dont need to have a button on the site for it. You just have to add the javascript code to the footer of your site and it will be added to all the pages.

From the above stats, I dont see you can track the number of Visitors. However, Successful Requests shows the number of Visits to the site. But then again, Visits are much different that Unique Visitors.

 

sorry to be so difficult, but I have like a gazillion individual pages, it would take me ages to add some code to them all. I just need to know which number up their is the real visitors and I think distinct hosts served is what it is...

 

I don't think dreamhost offers unique visitor count, well their software (Analog) is a bit confusing and "crappy" to say the least. I actually moved away from them because of that and their downtime... Move to cpanel you will love it.

 

I used to have a cpanel host and they crashed all the time to, dreamhost dont go down to often, and I have so many sites and files I cannot move again.

 

your host must provide awstats or webalizer right?

Get a new host if they don't.

awstats has more info, but webalizer is quick and easy, I run both in a cron job at night and then I compare the results.

from the above though, I would say your unique visitors is 312 per day for an average.

check this link out, it explains what some of that means http://www.analog.cx/docs/meaning.html its the authors site of the program that generated those stats.

 

Actually dreamhost don't provide it, atleast at the time I used them, I had to use Google Analytics because Analog sucks.

 

Yeah, this is all DREAM has, I wonder why they dont do something bout that...

 

hmm, they seem kind of expensive too.
