Domains and URLs your visitors come from, broken down by Referring
Domains and Referring URLs. Referrers are the sites which have
links to your site. For example, if we had a link to your site

Advanced visitor filter: The powerful filter options available
in 123LogAnalyzer set it apart from any other log analyzing applications.
They provide you with far deeper and more specific analyzing.
123LogAnalyzer offers the following advanced visitor filter options:
- Visitors who accessed specific pages or files. (Example: you
can use this filter to see how many people visited your download
page, or how many people downloaded a specific file.) You can
also choose whether you want to match visitors who accessed ANY
of the files listed or ALL of the files listed.
- Visitors who came from specific referring URLs. (Example: you
can use this filter to see how many visitors came from a page
you have an advertisement on.)
- Day of Week. (Example: you can use this filter to see what happened
on a specific day.)
- Hour of Day. (Example: you can use this filter to see what happened
at a specific time.)
- Visitors whose first visit is a specific page. (Example: use
this filter to see which page on your website is the first page
most visitors view first.)
- Visitors' countries or regions. (Example: use this filter to
see how many visitors are from France or Japan.)
- Visitors who make purchases on your web site. (Example: use
this filter to see information on visitors who actually buy something
from your web site.)
Using a single filter is in itself very useful, but when you combine
the filters, you unleash the real power of 123LogAnalyzer.
For example, not only can you see how many visitors visited the
"BuyNow" page, but you can also see how the same people
then viewed other pages on your web site, what their browsing sequence
was, how many files they downloaded, where they came from, and what
search keywords they used to get to your web site.
Another example is that you can combine filters to find out which
visitors from Europe viewed both your "BuyNow" page and
"SpecialOffer" page, to see how they react to your marketing
efforts.
Additional Capabilities:
- Can run on both client side and server side
- Supports major web server log file formats on both Windows and
Unix platforms.
- Auto detects log file format.
- Reports on multiple log files as if they are one continuous
log file to view historical trends.
- The time zone of the log file can be adjusted. For example if
the log file uses the Greenwich Mean time zone but you are in
the Central time zone you would need to adjust the time by -6
hours.
- Can analyze commonly-used ZIP and GZ compressed log files without
first extracting them to your hard drive, so you save disk space
and download time!
- Can download log files from remote FTP or WWW server.
- Can automatically run a report from the command line.
- Unique internal IP mapping technology that produces extraordinarily
accurate visitor geographical statistics at blinding speeds.
- Fully customizable HTML report template: Add your company logo
to all 123LogAnalyzer reports, and then give them to your clients!
