That depends very much on what your definition of "people" is. If you 
have a site that users have to log in to, then you just have to count 
the number of accounts that were loged in - Analogs User Report can help 
you do that.

If your website doesn't require users to log in, but you set a 
persisitent cookie, then you can count the number of cookies assigned, 
and get an upper estimate of the number of people who saw your site 
(some people will get more than one cookie). If you don't have userIDs 
or cookies, then you can't tell how many unique individuals saw your 
site - see www.analog.cx/docs/webworks.html for an explanation of the 
issues involved. You can make a estimate, and you can compare traffic 
from month to month, but you can't really tell how many "people" visit 
your site, because you aren't actually collecting that information in 
the first place.

Analog reads it's settings from the file analog.cfg (in the same folder 
or directory as Analog itself). Edit analog.cfg with any text editor 
(such as Notepad in Windows) and add the TO and FROM lines to 
analog.cfg.
