Analyze your site traffic with WebLog Expert Lite
September 4th, 2007
Do you know how many hits your site gets in a day? Do you know where those hits are coming from? If you don’t even have a rough estimate for an answer, this means that you don’t check your site statistics enough. Knowing about your site stats can help you plan your site better, and a simple program can show you all the necessary information. One such program is WebLog Expert Lite.
WebLog Expert Lite analyzes your site log, allowing you to know more about your site traffic. This application gives you a basic traffic summary, including average hits, page views, and visitors per day. It also shows in-depth information about files your site visitors accessed, bandwidth, referring URLs, web browsers, operating systems, search engines, and more. The output of WebLog Expert Lite is an easy-to-navigate HTML file with charts and graphs about your site traffic.
Using WebLog Expert Lite could be tricky for those new to web publishing, especially since you need to know where your log files are located on your web server. The presence of these files depend on your host, and you need to ask them where these files are if you can’t find them yourself. Because of this, newbie web publishers might want to stick to their hosting plan’s built-in site stats program, if they have one. More experienced publishers, however, will find WebLog Expert Lite indispensable, especially since it can analyze log information for multiple sites.
The program has three versions, Professional, Standard, and Lite. Although the Lite version is completely free, the other versions have free 30-day trials. All versions support IIS and Apache logs, and can automatically detect your log format.
WebLog Expert Lite works on a Windows platform, version 95 and above.
