A Question For The Site Moderators + Admin

[fixuplooksharp]

Just out of interest there is something I would like to know. On my website I am able to find out where all, if not the majority of the people who are looking at my site came from or at least who reffered them to my site.

I was wondering especially with regards to the BBC story that has just come out.... exactly where abouts are the people who are looking at the story coming from? As it does seem to have a very high volume of views in a very short space of time. I know on Guido Fawkes he has a list of how many hits he gets from the bbc etc...

Would be good to know.

Cheers

Have a look at the referrers in your site's web stats. Check your site provider web pages for details on how to set up web stats.

See here for an example:

I couldn't find anything coming in from the BBC this month or last..

If you go to http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/webalizer/webstats/usage_200702.html#TOPRE FS you'll see a lot of the incoming links to the site this month and http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/webalizer/webstats/usage_200701.html#TOPRE FS for last month (give it time to load though).

My guess is many folks who watched the show turned to Google for more info and found the site because of the amazing ranking it gets.

Here is the download link for Webalizer http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/ but if you don't have server permissions to add it to your site http://www.statcounter.com/ is a decent alternative which uses JavaScript. Warning though, not all users have JavaScript enabled so you're likely to miss a few hits (not that many though).

Shouldnt this go in the suggestions area?
Is it just me or has there been an influx of shady new threads bombarding this forum? Nothing is really thoroughly discussed and issues that logically should be connected are fragmented. A great strategy for dispersing the people methinks.....
