Tracking website visitors

We use Webalizer -- www.mrunix.net/webalizer for our statistics. It needs to be installed on the server and runs on both Unix and Windows servers. If your ISP doesn't have a stats package, it may be time to switch. Try Internet Connect Services in Montana. We host sites from all over the globe, and support php, asp, .NET, FrontPage, DreamWeaver, and lots more. Send me an email if you want more info.

Hi,

That would be very tough to do. However, you can at least track their IP address quite easily with this php code:

A less intrusive way to get contact info would be getting a formmail/guestbook that would allow your visitors to give their info. Hope that helps :-)and by the way, there are also invasive ways to do this(still hard to do, activex controls maybe...

If your host doesn't support log analysis tools, you might be able to go with an external tracking service. Depends on how much money you're willing to spend, but people like Omniture.com sell services where you just insert a little snippet of JavaScript into your pages, and they can gather user statistics in near-real-time.

We use Omniture but they are kinda pricey, it's definitely enterprise-grade stuff not small biz.
