Visitor tracking
i put a counter on my lab's website using tinycounter.com.
i'd like to know who it is that is visiting the website but i don't want it to be a spy cookie or something like that. i just want to know which universities/labs visit the website. i'd also like to exclude hits by certain computers if that's possible. i don't want my own visit to count as a hit (or any of the other lab members). how can this be done?

Get Google Analytics (free). After it is up and working, it will report back on which domains (the universities) and locations of where visitors are coming from. It's a nearly essential tool. It won't exclude your own computer, but you'll be able to get a pretty good idea of the number of people who visit your site. Simply don't access or site often or not at all for a couple days, and then visit Analytics and see the number of people who came during those days.

A counter is about the silliest thing that there is. Some kind of log analyzer like the 2 mentioned above work very well. Awstats can be made to exclude certain IP's or domains but you usually don't have this option on shared hosting.

i can't host the site anywhere else because it's my university lab and it's hosted by my university.
what's shared hosting? |

Thanks guys.
Not really sure about the specifics of what's going on at the server side. what i do is create/edit a webpage and then upload it through ssh to the server at my university. is that shared? i've pasted the Google Analytics code into my webpages so i'll see how that goes. the information i can get looks real overkill for the kind of traffic the lab website sees (90 hits in 2 weeks, most of which are mine). |
