AWStats is an advanced web traffic analysis tools that Silver-Logic makes available for you to analyse your website traffic. The statistical analysis is compiled every night to ensure you have an updated analysis of your website traffic the following day. End-of-month snapshots are kept and are accessible from a dropdown box selection.
When analysing your site traffic, you need to be careful not to confuse ‘hits’ and ‘unique visitors’. For additional information, please view the AWStats glossary of terms page at: http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_glossary.html
With AWStats you can see what countries your visitors are coming from, what type of browser they have and even the operating system on their computer. Another handy feature is being able to see how many people are finding your website - if they were referred by a search engine, AWStats will show by which search engine it was found as well as the key words they entered to find your site.
