Well I have considered WebStat.com. They start at $10/month and I have a few clients to institute that for. So the costs would go to about $120 per client per year.
Was hoping to keep the costs to a minimum if possible. Also was looking to have the ability to export the data in a PDF format to send to them monthly. If I can extract it, I can put the data to PDF just have to have a good layout. I have also considered instead of going with a service, was to purchase a statistics program and run it monthly. WebTrends runs about $400 I think Any other you know of that is good enough and a reasonable cost? I do have access to the log files. I have an FTP process to download the log file daily since the shared hosting only maintains 30 days of files. So to run a complete month, I have to make sure I have the files. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 10:51 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Web Stats Question I'd probably go with client cookies if I'm going to roll my own, just because it'd be easier.
