Andy, Because of Google Analytics' limitations I ended up rolling my own visitor counting system. It uses onSessionStart, and inserts user agent and ip into a "stats" table. Then once a day I run a scheduled task to analyze the user agent and ip data for bots, enter the aggregate data in a "statsSummary" table, and clear the "stats" table since it gets big fast.
It's just a very stripped down system to count visitors, but it seems to be working pretty well, and I'm sure it could be expanded on to gather more data such as what Browserhawk does. Don't know if you have time to create something like that but it's working pretty well for our purposes. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 10:51 AM Subject: RE: Browserhawk / browser stats generation? > Ah...okay then.
