I have
one particular client who gets nearly *all* his business from seach engine
referrals. He spends a fortune on search consultants, optimizing his
keywords etc. I was surprised but he *is* making money. Try telling him that
some search engines don't matter...
So
why do you bother using SES urls? Granted there are search engines out there
that don't spider dynamic sites, but how much longer could those really be
around anymore?

It
does suck - like I said, I ended up writing my own log files and my own
analyzer. The reports I need are not quite as in-depth as what
Webtrends offers, but they work for me.
I did not realize that, why bother even using ses url's then. I
thought they were supposed to help with reporting. I am gonna have to redo
that site now. At least using non SES url's I have the option of products
eventually decoding the url stream. This totally
sucks.

I think that part is actually the http_referer (which I get
too). What do you show for an actual http get of a page?
This one looks like it's a page hit for

Here is a site I have using ses urls, and it is showing
everything after index.cfm

I use SES URLs, so where you have http://127.0.0.1/shop/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.products&ndx=244&sec=1&cat=6,
I would have http://127.0.0.1/shop/index.cfm
since I get nothing after index.cfm with SES. If I use a
"normal" query string, then I would get exactly what you do. I
have been able to get Webtrends to show me the query string, but it
was not without difficulty. Unfortunately, I don't remember
how I did it - there's a screen somewhere where you can set up a
bunch of individual URLs to look for, and I think that's where I did
it. It did take a f'n lifetime though, since I had to set up
almost every possibility.
Here is a sample from my logfiles, I have all of the
default webtrend suggested logging checked. Are you missing any of
this, it seems to me that it is catching everything a user does on
my end, what is different on yours?

The base problem is that IIS does
not log PATH_INFO. Nothing to do with webtrends at
all.

Shouldn't
the real solution come from Webtrends? Maybe the FB Steering
Committee could open negations with Webtrends on behalf of the
ever-growing fusebox community to create an FB3 plugin or
something for Webtrends.
