Hello Neal, the cheapest way I've implemented solutions similar to what
you need is to use a log analyzer that has command line support, and run
it on your web server logs. If your using IIS, W3C extended log format
(there are equivalents in other web servers) can record information such
as referrals and cookies which a log analyzer can translate into
valuable stats. Using ColdFusion you could run a batch file with
cfexecute or cfschedule to calculate the stats however often and move
the generated HTML files to the agent's web root.

You could easily write a cf app. to lie in the application.cfm and
record all the cgi variables returned on page requests, but the problem
is finding an application that will generate the stats from your data,
and writing a reliable one is a task, I believe, for the elite. I don't
think you would want a ColdFusion app. to do this (if you found one to
buy), better left to a program written in the lower level languages
(C++,Java,etc). 

Take care,
Daniel Elmore

Subject: CF Traffic Analyzer

Hello folks.

I am looking for a traffic analyzer that I can implement into our
current site. Basically what we have is a template driven web site for
our agent's which gives each of them their own personalized site. What I
need to do is give them the ability to track visitors to their site and
report on things like refers and keywords so that they can monitor who
is linking to them and what search engines are bringing them visitors. 

If anyone has any idea where I could find some type of ColdFusion
application that doses something like this please let me know. Not sure
how involved this would be to build from scratch and I kind of have a
time constraint. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks 
- Neal
