Advice..... hhhmmmmm......
First off, list out exactly what stats you want and get them manually from
the logs you will be using. Get an evaluation copy of Web Trends if you
want to get some other ideas.
I am assuming that you will be working with the raw logs from your web
server. My advice on that is DON'T!!! Use CF to convert the logs to an
ODBC database. If you have it converted, then great. That will make things
a lot easier. Also make sure your web server is set to the fullest logging.
With that you can get more detailed tracking of your users.
Other than that, everything will be SQL queries. But to get your own
statistics that make sense will take a lot of work. Planning will be very
in-depth for this project.
Oh, one last bit of advice.....
