Log file analysis helps you to see where your visitors are coming from, and their activity on your site. Its best to use a software tool for log file analysis like Google Analytics.
Log analysis helps to find hits on your site, which search engines and search phrases bring you visitors, which referring sites generate the most traffic, and discover and fix errors in the workings of your web site. You can find your log files by login in your FTP account.
