Help needed.

[overclocker23]

My friend also has a website. And since I am not a real expert on stats and stuff, I was wondering if you guys could help us out. Check out the following picture that I have attached and let me know how these stats are. He launched his website on the same day as mine so it is only 10 days. Let me know if you guys think if this is good for a 10 day old site or his site should do better. How much bandwidth do you think, my friend should have used by looking at the stats' picture. Thanks.

as far I can see he has 512 visitors a day. You can see yourself that's pretty good. Must be a pretty large site, 7000 pages. No wonder he has got a lot of visitors!

What site is it off?:cool:

[overclocker23]

Actually, that is my site. If you want, you can check it out @ www.cooltechzone.com

You can't really access other website's server logs & stats.

[overclocker23]

What do you think about the total visits which is 4696? Is that good for a 9 day old website.

[Didiusthegreat]

Cool, about overclocking. I'd love to do that but my mother says "ooo noo you won't!" :)

[overclocker23]

I only have 30 webpages on the site since I launched it 9 days ago but why does my server stats say that I have over 7000 pages. Cool, you liked my website. It got popular pretty quick. I am shooting for over 15000 visitors in first month.

offcourse. I see however you had one day 1000 visitors. Must be the first day?

If you try to keep the 500 visitors a day that would be awesome.
500 visitors is already a lot visited.

[overclocker23]

500 is the avg. of 9 days. The total is 4696, which is nice for a new site.

Can you please answer this question:

huh? that's strange. Are you using the statistics of your server? You could consider Nedstat too? Their statistic services are a lot better. Easier to understand

[overclocker23]

Everything else is right except for the pages info.

[Didiusthegreat]

The problem there could also be your forum... That would take a lot pages too. I'l calcutate a bit. Wait a sec:goatee:

[overclocker23]

You are right, I do have forums and have posted some on it. Alright, I am waiting....

Thanks for your help.

[Didiusthegreat]

Are you working with frames?

[overclocker23]

Yes, I am using dreamweaver and using the layout features to design all of my pages.

[Didiusthegreat]

How many frames have you got in each page? 3?

[overclocker23]

Depends, on the index page, I have about 13 and on some pages I only have 1.

[Didiusthegreat]

I think I found it. I have heard some people using stats and the stat saw every frame as a page. If you get what I mean....

[overclocker23]

I see what you mean. I don't really care about the amount of pages that it measures since dreamweaver tells me how many pages I have. All I care about is the amount of traffic I get everyday, search engines and stuff like that. Thanks so much for your help.

[Didiusthegreat]

The bad new is:

I've also heard that in that case; (witch I mentioned above) the stats counted a visitor at each frame. If you have 13 frames on the main stage; one vistor would become 13....

If you want no doubt you should use netstat ore some other service alike.

Hope I helped

BTW: What I'm telling you is not 100% sure, please forgive me if I'm wrong...

[overclocker23]

But i looked at my search engine stats and it told me that I had 138 people from search engines which is also true and my news is getting posted on all the big websites like hardocp.com, anandtech.com and among other biggies.

The thing about nedstat is that it is not free. But I will check it out.

[Jubba]

thats total pages that were requested, not the total pages on the site...

[overclocker23]

Does that mean that my stats application is correct?

[overclocker23]

Jubba is 100% right. To make sure that I am not mistaken with my traffic, I went to the nedstat. I signed up for the basic version and got it up and running. My website really is getting 567 (avg.) visitors per day. Whenever I refresh my nedstat stats page, I see atleast 10 visitors on the website. And I am updating the stats page every couple of seconds.

WHEW!!!I was scared...

Another quetion is [on my server, it is telling me that I have only used up 15.28 MB of bandwidth. And I have this feature on that measures that bandwidth and my host told me that if you have this feature on then the measurement will be incorrect. So I did further research and found out that, it is only measuring my http & ftp access. I update my site quite alot but I always thought that it would tell me the real measurement. Anyways, so i used another tool that my host provided me with and it is showing me that I have used up 11.33 GB of bandwidth but this is impossible as well. Can anyone give me any tool or a suggestion that I can use to measure the actual bandwidth usage.[/b]

Thanks jubba for telling me the answer.
