Hey everyone!

I'm looking for good internal tracking solution. I see a bunch out there, but maybe someone might have experience with some?

I'm not sure how to explain it, but i'm looking for something like this. I'll use an example of a AVS site or paysite that have 3 pages.....the index, main, join.

I want the stats to tell how many people hit my index page and where they came from. Then i want to know how many of those people clicked to enter and go to the main page. From that, i'll be able to see how many people i lost on the index page.

From the people that went through to the main page, i want to see how many people click and follow through to the join page or left the site altogether...and where they left to. So, i'll be albe to see how many people i lost on the main page.

Once they get to the join page, how many left, where they went to, and how many signed up.

An example for numbers would be something this like. If i got 5000 clicks to the index page, 2000 of those clicks followed through to the main page, 500 of those went to the join page and 2 signups, and least i'll be able to see what needs to be worked on. From the example, obviously the index page isn't pulling. Stuff like that is what i want to see.

Can anyone refer me to a good stats solution script, or a company that sells one? Maybe one that specialize in the adult industry who knows the needs for these kinds of internal stats? Of course it doesnt matter if it's from an adult company.

Either way, I don't want to rely third party stats. I want an internal one on my server. One with an easy interface to understand, and can generate graphs and reports.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

All you need is a counter for each page... If you have support for PHP I'll make you one with admin and all. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Personally I have three individual statistics for my site; the server logs analyzer, my own PHP statistics system and SexTracker. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

For the use you mentioned you won't need more than a simple visitor logger (Unique or raw, up to you) on each page.

I'll ICQ you a little later and we can discuss it, if there is anything else you want to log etc. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hey, PornoWill i would like see a copy of your tracking program.

Im currently using http-analyze20 2.01pl15
but it needs heaps of logs and statistic info which is the only downside to it.

I prefer to dump my almost 120mb log files this month http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/tongue.gif

My server log analyzer is the same as yours. The PHP one I have written myself however logs refer URL, visitors, outgoing clicks etc on flatfile databases and has toplist + admin page. All together it is 3 php files (logger, admin and toplist) and 3 database text files. I will work on making it more compact and easely installed on other sites and then I'll give you the script if you are interested. The way it is now it is so melted in with my other files because I have developed it with time only for Pornonett, so I'll have to sort it out.

Sure. My stat script isn't the best, but it gives you all the basics in a nice and easy manner. All you have to do to use my script is really just CHMOD the databases and include log.php (&lt;? include"log.php"; ?&gt; ) on pages you want stats on.

I'll work on making a standalone script of it and give anyone who is interested a demo later. I'll work on it tonight and get it ready by tomorrow hopefully.

Jaiden, you can use our site counter from http://www.sexcounter.com it will tell you the tracks people take, and where they leave..
no signups of course.

Jaiden, I saw a couple of php scripts that do exactly that, trace the path of people on your sites, so you'll know which ones went where (and came from where). However I dont remember where I saw it. I suggest you do a google search and also search the free php script sites.

The pay version of Urchin will do that I belive http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif think it is www.urchin.com (http://www.urchin.com)
there is also a free version but does not generate "deep" tracking. It uses webserver logs btw. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
